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.

    I ride a motorbike.

    When entering public buildings I have to remove my helmet.

    A very reasonable thing to do.

    Same principle applies to the burka!

    I feel it’s a security issue also that you may find some of the women don’t actually want to wear it and aren’t given the choice by their partner.
