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.

    Burquas are demoralising to the remake sex. This is a Christian country and although I believe in diversity to an extent, these are dreading to women

    Being forced to dress in this way does not fit in with the British and western way of life or its values .

    I feel intimidated not knowing whether it’s a mail or female. Oppression of women should not be allowed in the uk.

    The burka and face and total body covering are not acceptable in today’s society. They override woman’s rights and make identification impossible.
