The person I was referring to was a French academic who had participated in banning hijabs in school, so he was partly responsible for making French education conditional upon girls stripping i.e. taking off items of clothing to expose parts of their body which they do not want to expose in public. He was on Start the Week proudly informing us that we wouldn't have had terrorist bombings in the UK if we'd removed women's freedom of religion/education/expression in a similar way. I was amazed none of the other guests took they opportunity to call him fucking scum bag.
