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.

    The burka is an abomination and has no place in our country

    Starmer did not have the decency to answer what is an entirely reasonable question.

    I believe it to be dangerous, you could have criminals underneath that use them as a disguise , plus not part of our culture

    This dress just emphasises how much the wearer does not wish to fit in with British values. Ban it.
