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.

    It hides the persons identity. Terrorist can hide any thing underneath that garment

    Worthy of serious consideration: Bank Burkas + ALL the cretins wearing them.

    It is like a burglar wearing a balaclava to hide being identified & should not be allowed in our country outside of a private building, in my opinion

    I have to remove my motorcycle helmet if I go in the bank, even though you can see some of my face, it could be anyone under a burka

    We are British, what makes our country British is our history and our respected way of life. The Burkha is a sign of repression of women, ban it.
