LBC
host James O'Brien has said he supports German Chancellor Angela
Merkel's pledge to ban the burka in Germany where it is "legally

Mrs Merkel's U-turn will likely result in the wearing of full-face veils being stopped in public buildings in Germany.

Muslim women the last time he discussed the matter for suggesting they
were “repressed or in any way exploited”.
He said: “I didn’t believe them. I still don’t.
