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.

    They can be stilling and other crimes. We can’t find them by cctv or shops doing a face picture for getting the public help.

    It needs to be banned in the UK as we don’t know who is under this. We don’t cover our faces in the UK we show our faces so people know who we are

    Burka is banned in a lot of countries around the world and serves no purpose in any positive way to anyone.
