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.

    There’s no room in our country for this dangerous culture and the way the women are treated it’s archaic and disgraceful

    It’s time Britain started progressing into the 21 century not regressing back to the 7th century traditions of a foreign country.

    The burka or similar garments are a clear and present security risk. It oppresses women and is therefore discriminative and against human rights.
