How can I tell? I read the Conservative blogs quite a bit and there is now a new trend of comparing UKIP to the BNP. Some go as far as to suggest something idiotic like THE ALMOST-ACCEPTABLE FACE OF THE BNP? While others like the more subtle Iain Dale are merely suggesting that they are not as libertarian as they claim because of proposed burka ban.
They want to ban the burka so now they are neo-Nazis (like the BNP)? Is this the tactic against UKIP in the next election? This is the second Tory site I can see that is slandering UKIP by calling them just a slightly more acceptable BNP. This is utter bollocks and bodes badly for the Conservative Party.
So I guess they think Sarkozy is a neo-Nazi as well since he banned the burka in France.
Its clear that Iain and Chris have no idea whatsoever about the burka. It is actually not part of Islam, but something imposted on Muslim women with the abject purpose of oppressing them. There is nothing in the Koran about the burka. I would recommend to both that they read Robert Spencer's Infidel's Guide to the Koran.
Surely helping to free British Muslim women from the oppression they suffer in their communities is in fact very libertarian.
If the Conservatives are going to paint the BNP & UKIP with the same brush and try convince people they are on in the same they are going to regret it. The British public are not that stupid. They realise one is a part of neo-Nazi thugs and the other is a party of people concerned about the cost of the UK's membership in the EU (monetary & sovereign rights).
It is clear to me that this smacks of desperation and shows that CCHQ is very worried about UKIP. As I said before I can see UKIP getting a couple of seats in Parliament, alas I think that is the case for the BNP as well.

Banning people from wearing an item of clothing is not libertarian but authoritarian.
The libertarian move would be to protect those who face violence for refusing to wear the Burka.
Falco, any ideas you want to share with us as to how you protect those who face violence in their 'community' or in their homes ?
Sorry to all the word splitters out there about what's libertarian, authoritarian or any other -arian.
I think the burka needs to go as a piece of standard outdoor clothing (just like hoodies and crash helmets) as it's not acceptable culturally or for security reasons for a section of the populace to walk around a British street with their face covered.
Turn this around and imagine if a new fashion for balaclavas with two small eyeholes was launched. Would any of us be allowed to walk around like that all day?
Exactly you can't wear a hoodie into a shopping precinct or even a hat in some cases, but a woman with slits for eyes can walk in no problem. Double-standard methinks?
I am amazed that your average home grown thug hasn't realized what a good disguise a burka is
