We should ban no show socks
Summary
No-show socks are ruining Britain. That's the passionate position of a British woman who locks in on one of fashion's most divisive accessories with Kareem. She's got a clear stance: if you're going to wear socks, commit to the sock. Don't try to trick people with that tiny sliver of fabric peeking out above your shoe. "You can always see them," she argues, recalling spotting the offense on a plane. Kareem enthusiastically agrees, showing off his own proper long socks while the conversation spirals into jokes about Britain's real problems. Not Brexit, not immigration. The no-show sock epidemic. Socks, after all, are like hijabs for feet, and everyone should keep their ankles covered.

So, what's your take? I think we should ban no-show socks.
Ban no-show socks. 100% agree. Those are whack. You can always see them. It's like you're trying to trick me, but I can see them. I know you're wearing a sock.
So just commit to the sock. I think it was a look. It was a vibe for a while. What kind of socks are you wearing?
Boots. You can't see mine, but I've got—It's up to his. It's a—It's a long sock.
Yeah, of course.
Is that an ick for you if you see a guy with with a short sock? It is. I was on the plane yesterday and I looked over and I could see one.
You saw his ankle and you saw the little— You saw that little tiny tiny bit of sock. Why? Why?
No, this is good. This is good. I'm good.
Yeah, you're good. You're covered up. Yeah. Yeah, I'm covered up. You—It's—You know what? Socks are like hijabs for foot.
Exactly.
Yeah. Keep them covered.
Yeah.
I don't want to see no one's ankle. I don't want to see it either.
Your problem's not with the with the whole sock. It's only when it's a quarter sock. Yeah.
So, how long do you think a fair—Like what if I had this? That is— Like is that okay?
Yeah, but that's sort of in neither here nor there. Like be something. You want me to make a choice?
Be commit. I'll keep it off like that. I feel like it's not a big problem anymore.
Do you think? 'Cuz I see them a lot. You're seeing them.
Yeah.
Maybe it's 'cuz you're in the UK. It's a British problem.
It's one of Britain's biggest problems. [laughter] Not Brexit. Not—
No, that's all fine. That's fine.
Don't care about that. The no-show sock epidemic in this country—
I know. Is what's ruining it.
It's not the immigrants. It's definitely not the immigrants. It's the NHS socks.
It's the no-show socks.
Yeah.
Take them off. Listen to her.
