Dalrymple has a solution (although 10 points off for actually using the expression “a modest proposal”):
…we in Britain face not only the problem of the niqab and the burqa, but the opposite problem of young women who uncover themselves far too much.
When I say “too much,” I am speaking from the strictly aesthetic, not the moral, point of view. In every British town and city, fat and lumpen British girls, as often as not tattooed, who represent a constant diet of fast food, soft drinks, and too much beer made pale flesh, come out into the streets on Friday and Saturday scantily clad, to scream and shout like the vulgar drunken slatterns they mostly are.
