A bus company in Edinburgh has sparked anger over rules requiring drivers to ask Muslim women wearing the veil to show their faces.
Religious groups and unions said the rules introduced by Lothian Buses to catch potential fare cheats were unnecessary.
Passengers have been told to lift their veils or produce a passport or driving licence when boarding.

However, the Transport and General Workers' Union (T&G) said bus drivers could go on strike unless the new rules were ditched. Sounds like a veiled threat........

No one should be driving who wears bags over their head.

Ban the veil, and extremists will slink back to their hellholes.
