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.

    Unacceptable in an equal society such as ours. What really shocks me is when they wrap little girls up like this. What is that saying?

    It is not religious as it isn’t mentioned in the quoran. This is purely to intimidate. Undermining women’s rights! Also the security issues are high!

    Women have the right to chose how and what they wear. Islam has no place in the UK.

    Facial recognition technology should be used on ALL people in communities. No exceptions, no face coverings.

    Ban this backwards thinking act. And it’s a big security issue with Islamist extreme men or women hiding behind this.
