Did the French just ban crash helmets?

Constable Habib Ok?

 

I don't think that was their reasoning at all!

 

ITYF it's actually specifically designed to *protect* the face. In the
course of that protection, the face becomes hidden.

Quite. The "real" reason is that France is a secular state and religious
symbols are not allowed.

 

But if you've seen Cab, there's not much worth protecting

Are they going to stop the village priest popping down the boulangerie in
his cassock? Will he cause offence if he wears a rabat while enjoying a
lunchtime Ricard?

 

A facial rearrangement might improve his accent.

Well that's the BBC's interpretation. AIUI they specifically mention
the items in question, rather than just leaving it general.

Not really.

Can't find it right now, so who knows. But in any event I don't think
crash helmets would count, even given the above interpretation.

 

I am in no position to comment

I can't disagree with this, but I just want to point out that it's the
case in several European countries, and in practice it does work quite
well. For most purposes the parasites are irrelevant, and it would be
more trouble than it's worth to get rid of them on purely idealogical
grounds.

 

It's the shape that he's got wrong. What he's described is, in fact, a
pretty good shape for a Societ Russian type of structure.

The UK, and pretty much most <waves hands vaguely> developed wealthy
democraciies have a sort of rugby ball shape.

A few people right at the top, gradually swelling out into the mass of
middle class middle-income people, and then narrowing to the small
minority of utter scumbags at the bottom.

 

See other posting. It isn't. You got the shape wrong.

 

I noticed. As did The Doctor.
