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.

    Why would anyone want to oppress anyone, especially their wife, unless you’re an evil controller, living by the words of a book (novel) if you like

    All face coverings in public should be banned on grounds of security risk

    Surely wearing the burka poses a security risk and when a crime is committed it hinders identification

    As a woman with a daughter the Burka is discriminating to us and I do not like the uncertainty of who may be underneath. Britain should not condone!

    This is a Christian country where all are equal: the burka represses women.

    It can be open to abuse by males needing to hide from authorities/justice
