Ken speaks out:
London Mayor Ken Livingstone said he would like Muslims to give up the veil.
But he suggested change was not something that could be imposed from outside the Muslim community.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Getting Muslim women to give up the veil – which I suspect is something most people would like to see in the long term, including myself – is not going to be done by old white male politicians telling them to do it.
“It will be change from within. That is why it’s important we should engage with the progressive elements and leaders in the Muslim community.”
