London recently voted into Office its first MUSLIM mayor ....
That last comment, of ..

Their straw poll of Londoners (I haven't seen any accounting of how they were selected ..) means they went to an area some distance from Southend (around 40 miles to the west of it !) to canvass views. If the point is to consider 'the overall enjoyment of everyone in the area', you don't seek out views from people in a DIFFERENT area !!
'Cultural or religious' reasons .... surely, considering minority views over the indigenous majority, then enforcing the outcome on to the general population seeking to sunbathe on a public beach !!
And those views, taken from a city happy to endorse a MUSLIM as its mayor ....
Who thinks this stinks ? Anyone ... ?

This got us thinking, and within a few minutes of receiving the report we decided that the town could benefit from three dedicated beaches where ladies are required to cover up for the overall enjoyment of everyone in the area ...
