The rule is that they can wear one if they want to, read the OP -

If you read my post you will see that I disagree with the persecution of muslim women by their own religion. This however is a simple distinction of allowing women to where a burkini in a swimming pool, the same rights she has to wear her normal clothing while out in public. I cannot see any justification for that discrimination -

What is? Allowing them to wear clothing while walking in the streets along with the burkinis while swimming? Sounds more like you'd prefer them not to be around at all, thats a different debate -

Its fairly logical to me, they are allowed to wear their clothing outside in public, why discriminate against them by trying to enforce rules when they go swimming? If you're of that mindset then complain about them walking around normally like this and call to ban them. I certainly understand those calling for a ban on full face coverings but this is nowhere near that level. Where I live in Phuket its common to see muslims wear burkinis at the beach or at one of the waterparks/pools. Its also just as common to see Thai's with full sleeve t shirts and long shorts or leggings. Long sleeve rash vests are also becoming very popular with all nationalities including my daughter who wears one to avoid getting sunburnt. Live at let live, if you've a problem with the male muslims and their doctrine against women's rights then I agree but lets not discriminate against them swimming and enjoying themselves -

Is it not just an extension of a normal swimming costume with added sleeves and leg covering made out of typical spandex or similar costume material? Killing the chlorine is a nonsense justification for banning them. -

Can't wait to see what rants Russian state TV comes out with after seeing this from the UK ???? British troops must 'prepare to fight in Europe again', army chief warns The head of the British army has told his troops they must "prepare to fight in Europe once again" in an effort to defeat Vladimir Putin's forces. General Sir Patrick Sanders, who took over from General Sir Mark Carleton Smith on Monday, warned soldiers about the challenges they faced amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. "There is now a burning imperative to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle," Sir Patrick said. -
Spain also feeling the effects. AP News Firefighters in Spain battle blazes amid unusual heat wave Firefighters in Spain on Sunday struggled to contain wildfires in several parts of the country, which is suffering a heat wave unusual for this time of the year. The worst damage has been in the northwest province of Zamora where over 25,000 hectares (61,000 acres) have been consumed, regional authorities said. A lack of rainfall this year combined with gusting winds have produced the conditions for the fires.
