I'm furious that in the current row about women wearing the veil, and specifically Ms Azmi, no senior British politician is standing up for this woman in what I regard as her fundamental right to self expression. I do not buy the argument that a veil intrudes on her ability to teach and I would argue that she is choosing to express a distinctive cultural identity and some people appear to be threatened by that. Where is the rest of the Labour Party? Where are the Liberals?
