Rejected petition Equally apply the law/policy on covering the face in public.

I believe in equality. Equality of the law/policy, opportunity. Unfortunately this principal is not applied in Britain. Some are allowed to do something that I can't. Walk in to a post office, bank, shop, etc. with my face covered.

Face covering is supposed to be prohibited.

More details

Britain is, or at least should be, a nation that embodies enlightenment, secular & humanist values. We should not tolerate values, ideologies that are antithetical to what should be our core.

One group is given more lenient policing, authorities hide/suppress information that reflects badly on said group. This group can incite murder in public & not be arrested or prosecuted. They can cover their faces. Meanwhile, innocent people are arrested for Hitler jokes, asking questions on twitter, etc.
