Reader’s Comment: Borders are better than burkini bans

August 30, 2016

In response to Kathy Gyngell: The burkini ban is France’s defence of its liberal culture, Rupert Williams wrote:

The French ban is stupid, illiberal and counter-productive.

I am as keen as the next man to control and limit immigration, I am deeply concerned by the armies of young men marching across Europe with the by your leave of our politicians and against the will of the majority of the populace and horrified by some of the wholly predicable and predicted negative consequences.

However, burkini bans are just a stupid useless displacement activity in the absence of sensible effective and necessary measures to protect the populations of Western Europe.
