Ku Klux Klan leaders have reacted angrily to calls this that they remove their hoods when in public. ‘It’s an outrageous infringement of our civil liberties,’ said Grand Wizard Billy Barr Jnr. ‘It’s part of our culture, our belief system and our heritage that when whipping up racial hatred we wear a big white pointy hood.’
The row has grown since last week when Home Secretary Jack Straw said that it is perfectly possible to incite racists without covering your face up. ‘When I’m chatting with members of a white supremacist organisation, I want to be able to see their expression. So when Klan members come to my surgery, I ask them to take their hoods off.’
