From the Express HYS

NO DISCRIMINATION, BURKAS AND VEILS TOO

I would imagine there would be an outcry if hoods were banned without banning all clothing that conceals the identity.

As the burka has recently been used by robbers then there is no excuse for not banning it and the niqab (veil) as they both equally conceal identity even more so than the hoodie.

It's exactly the same as BBC HYS!

Now pubs ban trilbies
By RICHARD WHITE

A PUB chain has barred elderly gents from wearing their trilby hats — as part of the war on HOODIES.

Brewer Greene King claims the brims hide wearers’ faces from CCTV cameras at its 800 premises.

Staff are under orders to treat punters with trilbies the same as hoodie yobs — and deny service to those who refuse to remove them.

Great-grandad Colin Osborne, 64, blew his top when a barmaid ordered him to take off his trilby at The Monument pub in Hereford.

He complained to the manager, who told him it was policy in all Greene King pubs.

Local newspaper editor Colin, of All Stretton, Shropshire, said: “I’ve worn a trilby for 20 years. I’m hardly likely to be fighting on CCTV.

“If someone in a hoodie misbehaves, they should be punished — not everybody who wears a hat.”

Colin, who had popped for a drink with his son Mark, 40, said: “I took off my trilby to keep the peace. But I should be able to wear it when and where I choose.”

Nigel Denford, editor of Hat Magazine, branded the ban “ridiculous”.

Greene King insisted: “Hats of any kind obscure the faces of customers from the cameras. To remain consistent and fair, we ask all customers to observe the policy.”

DEFIANTLY NO

Not unless they promise to fill the trains with all the illegal immigrants and asylum seekers,this would mean stopping at a few prisons on the way and take the lot back to were they came from
And even then defiantly No

Canada, Australia, South Africa...

It's funny how the people who moan the most about immigration to this country and asylum seekers don't even live in the UK.

No, Peter, but they did once. They, like myself, had the brains to get out years ago when the writing was first on the wall...

What? You saw the UK was going to be swamped by foreigners, so you went and lived amongst foreigners? Something just doesn’t ring true.

hahaha. Poor Geir might suffer though.

youtube style 'thumbs up/down' is so much better.

YES LET'S BE LIKE THE YOUTUBE COMMENTS THEY ARE REALLY GRATE

To be honest 2 zillion post Arcade Vampires threads would be improved by "Bump this post or your family will die" spam.

lol u read those

I stick my head in occasionally in search of comedy butthurtitude.

A bit like the Daily Express. And so ze cycle of life continues.

NV what papers do you read btw?

I never read the papers except when I'm bored at my mother-in-law's then I read the Daily Mail and get all shouty-punchy.

My depression is much better when I ignore the news in general.

Think of all those kids with colds and flu because they got their hair wet in the rain without their hoods. Imagine the cost to the NHS in cough mixture and blackcurrant Tunes alone.

Why the fuck are you reading the Sunday Express anyway?

I wonder what The Sun messageboard is like compared to the BBC HYS

Amazing what you can find on the internets these days if you look really really hard for it.

Goths kicked to death - should the people responsible have the same fate?

CHILD/BABY RAPE VICTIMS OF PAEDOPHILES - WHAT ABOUT THEM?

ARE YOU WHITE?

BAN THE HOODIE FOR GOOD!!WHAT ABOUT THE HIJAB?

Muslim Bus Driver - Get off my bus, I need to pray !

Fish, barrel, etc...

Shouldn't this article have been posted into the Rolling UK Comedy thread?

Fortunately, none of these people are allowed to vote. Right?

Why would anyone be surprised that there are lot of people on the internets that think in a way typical of HYS/the Sun/Mail/Express message boards, btw? Have you never been on a bus/in a taxi/in a pub/in any workplace ever, not to mention actually considered that these papers sell because there is a market for them? The world is full of people who think this shite.

Anyway, I am wearing a hoodie right now. Ban me!

Most of the people I work with moan about asylum seekers all the time, it's the default topic of conversation for everone over 35.

Yes, barely a day goes by without me calling for mass deportations before discussing the problems of young people wearing hooded jumpers.

I'm wearing my Khanate hoodie. I've not been banned from my town centre yet and I've been wearing hoodies since I was 13(over 20 years).
The Khanate hoodie isnt that old though before anyone asks.

I wear hoodie every day to work tho it's in the land of liberty good ol USA so there's no danger of it being outlawed.

i just act like i'm 48.

Tsk, you kids with your zinging and your Hen Fap and whatnot.

As a wise person once observed in regard to the midlife urge to buy a motorbike and get an au pair, "Aging is mandatory. Maturity is optional."

Ban the Hoos for Good?

Do they at least pull their pants up? We had a problem with that a while back here in America. Needed some legislatin'.

Hmmm...the original story doesn't seem to quite tarry with this one.

the masked robbers

No customers have yet been threatened

They returned a few weeks later, only to flee empty-handed when Mrs Sirkhot stood up to them.

It strikes me that all this seemingly pointlessly whipped up panic usefully clears the ground for things like this to happen.
