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.

    How do you know it’s not a terrorist using the burka as a disguise to hide weapons?

    Ban the burka is s good start to freeing women from the oppression of a certain belief system. Women are executed for standing up to dress oppression

    This is a Christian country and such customs do not align with our traditional values. As such there is no place for them here.

    Also a security risk

    I’m not allowed to wear a full motor cycle helmet in banks etc. Therefore, burkas should be banned.

    All face covering are intimidating and should be banned in public places and buildings for security purposes if nothing else.
