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.

    I’d also like to ban masks, face coverings and hoodies from protests especially as these are the i dividends who become violent.

    A burka should not be allowed in any public spaces where face coverings of other types are prohibited, eg banks, courts, prisons, schools etc.

    There is no place for Islam in a Christian society… vile , archaic, oppressive disgusting ideology. Ban the Burka , halal and Sharia courts now.
