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.

    The Burka is a symbol of the vile oppression of women in Islam (among many others)

    Who is going to enforce the ban. Certainly not the police…they are too “ woke “ and completely scared of being accused of being labelled racist.

    This item of clothing is totally out of context in any modern country and creates distrust in not being able to see someone’s facial expressions.
