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.

    This should be banned for the security of the United Kingdom and the respect of the women who are forced to be oppressed by old ways

    Obviously Shabana Mahmood, is not going to agree with this, being a Muslim, it’s in her culture. Burkas are dangerous.

    I be.lieve the Burka should be banned, you don’t know who is concealed under those Burkas, any terrorist could be using a Burka to hide their identity

    The Burkha is a cruel medievil relic of a cruel medievil religion. It shows Muslim men’s dominance and control of women. It is a vile practice
