SIR – Apartheid didn’t work in South Africa and I don’t think it will work in this country by those who want self inflicted apartheid by wearing a veil or a burkha.

Certainly doctors and nurses shouldn’t be allowed to wear a veil and to try and get children to wear them is definitely wrong.

If these people want to dress like that they should move to a country where it’s acceptable.

I’ve never read the Qur’an, but I am told it’s nothing to do with religion, so I don’t really see the point of the veil.

But I really think these people should try and fit in with the majority.

If they can’t, then move to a country where the veil is accepted.
