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 garment is a sign of a foreign anti-British oppressive misogynist culture, a security risk and a tool for crime. Has no place on English streets.

It is a disgusting practice which leaves women wracked with osteomalacia which is excruciatingly painful, due to lack of Vitamin D3 from the sun.

Any dress that does not fit into the European style should be banned.
