Laila Cunningham's comments about women wearing burqas in London are really worrying me. She's trying to tackle an issue, but she's coming at it from the wrong angle. It feels like she's perpetuating negative stereotypes about Muslim women instead of trying to understand their experiences. And let's be real, stop and search is a total overreach - what's next, stopping everyone with dark skin? 
I've been following this debate for ages, and it always comes down to the same thing: who gets to decide what's "British" culture anyway? Shouldn't we just focus on creating a society that values equality and respect for all? Cunningham's comments are just another example of how we can't even have a decent conversation about these issues without someone getting hurt
.I'm also frustrated that she's not addressing the real problems facing Londoners, like poverty and homelessness. It feels like she's more concerned with playing politics than actually doing some meaningful work to improve people's lives
. And honestly, I don't think her comments have been about stopping Muslim women in burqas - they've been about stirring up division and getting votes 
.We need leaders who are going to bring people together, not drive us further apart. Cunningham's comments just highlight the kind of toxic politics we're dealing with right now
