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.

    Burkhas should not be allowed in the UK. Women should have the freedom to choose their clothing. Women should not be forced or bullied into Burkhas.

    My hearing isn’t very good so I need to read peoples lips to understand what they are saying, if I can’t see their lips the words are not very clear.
