Here is one for you

Is there a law against wearing a full face balaclava In the UK?
For example going shopping with a few mates all with balaclavas on.

 

I suggest wearing those black puffer style bomber jackets too.

Oh and the West End is a nice night out... get there via the tube :-D

 

Most definitely yes.
Sandown Fowler Law (Succession) Act 1995, Section 14.

 

There is no sandown fowler law Act 1995 matey.

 

Waste of the phone call.

 

You're funny.


Oops! did I say funny?
Sorry, I meant 'fucking stupid'

 

Crime and Disorder Act 1998, section 25, "confers on any constable in
uniform power-
(a) to require any person to remove any item which the constable
reasonably believes that person is wearing wholly or mainly for the
purpose of concealing his identity;
(b) to seize any item which the constable reasonably believes any
person intends to wear wholly or mainly for that purpose."

Suck it and see. May not apply in Scotland, of course, but I'm sure
there's an equivalent. See local press for details.

 

That'll be the Jack Straw Disambiguation (Moooslems) Act 2006, then.

 

No. Baking Soda Act of 1809.

 

And watch the third world riots in the west midlands, if a police officer
makes a woman remove her burkha.

Gaz

 

good job it's not her knickers he wants removed!!

 

Occupiers of premises (including tube stations) would be quite entitled
to exclude admittance in such a case as long as exclusion was not on
religion, gender, race grounds etc.

 

Hmmmm...so who wants to join my hitherto unknown sect 'The Holy Monks Of
Balaclava' then? I shall be the founder and leader, the Lord High
Cardigan, and you plebs can fight over the other positions.

How many do I need to get it recognised?

 

People may have good reason to be concealing their identity other than
to commit a crime; they could be badly scarred, or famous, or it could
be cold, or they could be ugly, or have ear-ache etc

Would the item be seized after the list of reasons above had been found
to be unacceptable?

 

That's as maybe, but what you quote is not a "law against wearing a full
face balaclava In the UK"

Rather a subtle difference, I suggest.

 

The eyes man the eyes.

 

About time it was used on scrotes in hoodies, up to no good....

I suppose now would be as good a time as any to mention that members of
the First Church of UKRM are not required to wear a full face crash
helmet with iridium visor and dark glasses when paying for petrol
although it is preferred. Naturally it is absolutely forbidden to take
either off in the presence of maidens and other livestock of a nervous
disposition but that is not so much a matter of belief but of public
safety.

 

Splitters!

 

Only if you teach a class of infants.
