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.

    Absolutely ridiculous to allow MEN to FORCE women to cover up their faces. We live in a civilised western democracy NOT the 3rd world.

    Major security issue, it’s already been proven that men hide under these burkas…. Why would they do that unless they have bad intentions. Get rid!!!
