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 form of covering is anti social and hides the identity of the person

    Anybody could be hidden beneath these, female or male, and anything could be hidden beneath them.

    It should be banned as it’s oppressive and medieval plus not our culture. Who knows who is under that burka.

    Terroist masquerading as women wearing the burka to avoid detection, we have to take face covering helmets off when we go into places, IE Banks etc.

    It’s only oppressive it’s a major security risk, there is no way of telling who’s under the garb.
