Must not even mention privileged treatment of Muslims
Airport security detained the creator of popular children's character Fireman Sam after he made a remark about a woman wearing a hijab, British media reports.
David Jones, 67, was at London's Gatwick airport placing his carry-on items into a tray, including a scarf, for scanning when a woman wearing a hijab passed by him through security without showing her face, London's Daily Telegraph reports.
Mr Jones reportedly said “If I was wearing this scarf over my face, I wonder what would happen?”
Shortly after, Mr Jones was confronted by security and accused of making a racist remark. The Telegraph reports he was then detained for an hour as officials attempted to force him to apologise.
An angry Mr Jones told the newspaper that he felt like his rights had been violated and that the experience was like something out of George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984. The former fireman denied his remark was racist and refused to apologise.
Mr Jones said "it was impossible to get (the guard) to listen to reason".
After a British Airways manager and police officer also arrived on the scene (the latter at Mr Jones' request), he eventually agreed to compromise and agreed that his comment "could" be considered offensive.
Britain's Department of Transport allows people to cover their faces for religious purposes, but they must show their faces at passport control, which they can request be done in private.

The british people have lost their free speech rights becuase of their goverments open borders policy
they cover their faces to hide that they are so butt ugly. What u expect for englandstan.
The Nazis could never have made a successful invasion or occupation of the entire UK, after the UK defeated the Luftwaffe and had time to make preparations (with or without reluctant and expensive help from the US). With the Soviet Union to contend with, the Nazis would have eventually sued for peace with the British Empire.
There were already internal attempts to get rid of Hitler as the german generals knew he was a leader leading Germany down the path of disaster. Eventually a coup or assassination attempt would have been successful even if the Soviets hadn't already reached Berlin, and then the new German regime would have sought terms with all the Allies.
