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.

    This garment is to show that the person wearing it is owned by a man and is his wife/slave so it is slave clothing and should be banned in Britain.

    ISIS tried forcing deployed non-Muslim British female soldiers to wear the burqa. Our commander told the rag heads they could shove it up their arses.
