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.

    CCTV is useless if everyone’s hidden, it could be anyone under it, and also concealing anything.

    if the burka is worn than there is no way you can distinguish weather its a male or female under it . this does mean that it could be a terrorist h

    It is outrageous that the Prime Minister ignored the question. We do not pay him to treat people with such blatant contempt.
