Arrested for ski-mask protest

JAMES Scott took to the streets of Ipswich to support Jack Straw's stance over the removal of veils only to end up arrested for wearing a ski mask.

Today, the 40-year-old was still declining to remove his own headwear as he told how he was nicked for backing the leader of the House of Commons.Mr Scott said he only began his petition because he agreed with Mr Straw's comments that the niqab veil worn by Muslim women can be divisive.

He said: “I was angry when people starting jumping on the bandwagon and criticising Jack Straw - I think he's right.

Mr Scott was wearing the ski-mask and a T-shirt with the slogan 'I'm with Jack' and 'face-to-face; nothing to hide' when he was arrested on Monday.

I seriously hope that Mr Scott is going to sue the fucking arse of his local constabulary for unlawful imprisonment and arrest.
