UKIP_Manifesto

Britain United Under One Law For All
• Make ‘breast ironing’ a
specific criminal offence
• Add ‘offences committed to
protect family or personal
honour’ to the Sentencing
Council’s list of aggravating
factors, giving leave to
impose greater sentences
• Prosecute all cases of child
and forced marriage and
refuse permanent leave
to remain and/or British
citizenship to any adult
known to have procured
a child marriage for
themselves or their children
• Make certain that neither
the legal nor the welfare
system in Britain ever
recognises polygamy
• Include information
on cultural crimes in
safeguarding training for
teachers, staff and
school governors.
SHOW YOUR FACE IN A
PUBLIC PLACE
UKIP will ban wearing of
the niqab and the burqa in
public places. Face coverings
such as these are barriers
to integration. We will not
accept these de-humanising
symbols of segregation and
oppression, nor the security
risks they pose.
Suggestions that UKIP is
undermining liberty with this
policy are absurd. There is no
human right to conceal your
identity. If anything prevents
liberty, it is the niqab, by
preventing women from being
perceived as individuals in their
own right. We want to open
opportunities to all women, so
that they can participate fully
in life and in the workplace.
Clothing that hides identity, puts
up barriers to communication,
limits employment opportunities,
hides evidence of domestic
abuse, and prevents intake of
essential vitamin D from sunlight
is not liberating.
We stand in solidarity with
women worldwide who
are rebelling against the
imposition of the niqab
and burqa.
ENDING ISLAMIST
EXTREMISM IN
OUR SCHOOLS
Three years ago, the ‘Trojan
Horse’ scandal revealed how
Islamists had attempted to
take over several schools in
Birmingham and use them
to propagate their warped
ideology.
The plot nearly succeeded, and
hundreds of young minds were
at risk. We must never again be
caught napping like this: we
must wake up to the reality that
extremism is taking hold in
our country.
“Those of us
who identify
as lesbian, gay,
bisexual and
transgender
may have
first hand
experience of how misogynistic
and homophobic attitudes
are tolerated in the name of
‘respecting cultural differences.’
It is important to stand up for
true equality in the face of those
who would dismiss it.”
