British Firefighters to Get Hijabs and Turbans

This kind of stuff has ceased to be comical. We have a President who sees anything European as the answer. This does not bode well for America. From the Daily Star:

Fire chiefs have been blasted for introducing hijabs and turbans as part of the uniform.

The politically-correct headwear is on offer along with full-length skirts.

Bosses obsessed with “diversity” claim the clothing will tempt more ethnic minorities to join the brigade.

But Campaign Against Political Correctness co-founder John Midgley said: “The fire brigade should ensure that the safety of the public and all of its staff are paramount and I hope that this is not going to be harmed by what at face value seems to be a politically-correct decision.

“This is a decision which seems to contradict its own entry requirements, whereby the hearing and vision of firemen should not be impaired.”

The grey and red pieces of clothing, also including long-sleeved shirts, maternity and sportswear, were unveiled by the Lincoln-shire brigade.

Fire Minister Sadiq Khan said: “We want the widest range of applicants to join the Fire and Rescue Service.”
Just wait until this PC movement begins catering to nudists.
