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

Goal: 100,000 Signatures

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.

    Any face coverings unless it’s the Hight of winter and freezing cold and don’t pixel out faces on news media if suspect of crime.

    Minority religions living in a Christian country should respect the culture we have had for hundreds of years and the British way of life.

    It’s a security threat, feel free to wear it in your own home, which hopefully will be the place they originally and probably illegally came from
