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.

    This is mediaeval practice and should be banned. Stop Islamisation of UK … STOP SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN.

    Dangerous, can and has been used by male and females. If France, Italy, Austria, Denmark etc felt a need to ban it, why shouldn’t we??

    Security risk!

    We do not want Islam, with all its horrendous ideologies taking over our country. It is not compatible with our way of life. The burka is not welcome.
