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.

    It’s a case of security as no one can tell who behind the Burka. Male or Female take advantage of the Burka to escape from Authority

    Only Bank Robbers, and people that intend to harm others hide their faces.

    Face coverings prevent the ability to identify the person behind. It could actually be anyone therefore this increases a risk to personal safety

    It takes women’s rights back thousands of years. No place in modern society, especially the western world.
