PETITION: Ban the burka! Ban this oppressive medieval practice!

ADDRESSED TO: JUSTICE SECRETARY SHABANA MAHMOOD

Today, in the House of Commons, a Reform MP, Sarah Pochin, questioned Keir Starmer about banning the oppressive Islamic burka.

Keir Starmer ignored the question, but the question has caused a storm in politics and in the media.

The British people overwhelmingly want the burka/niqab banned on security grounds.

The burka/niqab is a backward practice that oppresses women.

We have launched a petition that we intend to deliver to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, demanding that there is an urgent public referendum on this issue.

    1) This is Britain not an Arab nation! 2) The burka should not be forced upon women, by men! 3) They should live by our customs and way of life.

    The Burkha should be banned as it intimidates others within society for we do not know whether it is male or female beneath the head covering

    This oppressive practice has no place in a modern society. It belongs in the 1400s where it should have been left.
