I wonder whether they'd ask a Muslim woman to remove her headscarf, or an orthodox Jew to remove his skull cap.

yes, sorry if it didn't sound right. No offence intended.

The media love to misrepresent in order to make stories sound better than they really are. Lowest form of pond life and all that.

Not quite as reported though (surprise there then!).

He had put a bag of household rubbish into a public litter bin, kitchen stuff and all, and in the bag was the junk mail. Council aren't too keen on folks using litter bins for their dustbins. Since I'm paying for it, I tend to agree with the Council on this one.
Doesn't it worry you that you are paying for someone to check litter bins?

Good point as even supermarkets and local corner stores have 'hats off to crime' posters everywhere,

But that would open another can of worms , like the school girl who was asked not to wear her Indian headgear in school,
