In a rare moment of seriousness, my mate and I were discussing this searingly hot political issue.

Our conclusion......

The Bhurka should not be worn through choice, it should be made compulsory for all ugly women.

It`s a win win situation.

For women:
They would not have to waste endless hours applying make up in a valiant but vain attempt to look attractive.
They would save money on said make up and also not have to buy hair straighteners,dryers etc.
They could all dance together in clubs without feeling the need to compete for attention.
Facial hair would cease to be an embarrassment.

For men:
We would not be fooled into thinking a woman is attractive by 10 pints of beer.
We could have special Bhurka nights where we could go out unkempt and unshaven.

The clothing trade:
Novelty bhurkas could be produced providing a much needed boost to the rag trade. Christmas ones, Valentine ones, Big ones, Thong ones etc.

You see? I can be serious upon occasions.
