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.

In the early 1900’s women fought for our freedom from oppression to allow the wearing of such an oppressive garment is putting us back years

It has to be banned for national security as many European countries have adopted. That will not suit Starmer’s alignment / surrender deal with Europe

This backward and alien ‘clothing’ should not be allowed in a civilised western nation.
