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.

    Burkers must be banned. You live in this country, so, dress as we do, AND speak English when outside your home.

    Quran doesn’t mention the burqa only modesty and proper dress for both men and women. Therefore, what is the need for the burqa???

    Bikers have to remove their crash helmets, but anyone can hide behind a burka, where is the logic?
