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 needs banning like the French have.We are a nation that doesn’t allow our females to be subdued.& a security risk that needs preventing.

    I’m sure the ‘Justice’ Secretary Shabana Mahmood will agree it oppresses Muslim women.

    Britain’s safety from Muslim attacks should come before any foreign ideology, therefore their faces should remain uncovered at all times.
