PETITION: Ban the burka! Ban this oppressive medieval practice!

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.

    No one knows who is under that Burka and they have banned people from shops for just wearing a hoodie even though the hoods are down

    This is essential to national security. Several other European countries have done this and it’s only sensible for the UK to follow suit.

    Burka is an alien form of dress in this country. Women are invariably forced to where it due to an alien Islamic culture which has no place
