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.

    Should be banned at the very least on security grounds and it appears also to make women second class citizens which is not our culture!

    I can’t go into a bank or a shop with my crash helmet on so why are they aloud

    This form of dress is alien to British culture.

    They need to be banned before it gets out of hand and abide by British law

    De boerka is een gevaar voor de openbare veiligheid. Autoriteiten moeten in staat zijn mensen te herkennen. Camera’s op straat hebben anders geen zin.

    They could be young men with guns
