I didn't say we couldn't criticise what we oppose. You're literally making stuff up. It's perfectly possible to criticise something without insulting people; MPs should try it sometime.
How about this? Anyone who forces anybody to wear something they don't want to should be punished; but if somebody chooses to wear it in public then that's fine with us. Employers should have the freedom to decide based on the role. Body language is one of the most important tools of communication and being able to see somebody's face is beneficial in establishing and maintaining effective communication. It's not essential, but it is helpful. As a nation, we won't tolerate oppression of any kind, and whilst we recognise that some people choose to wear a Burka for their own personal reasons, others do not and suffer in silence. We encourage communities and neighbours to raise alarm where there are signs of oppression and abuse the law will intervene where necessary.
See - it's not that hard is it? No insults, no name calling. I'm just a lowly pleb who whipped this up in a minute (and it shows), but I think this is more along the lines of what I'd expect from leaders of our state. It's called decency.
