PETITION: Ban the burka! Ban this oppressive medieval practice!

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 is not a choice, it’s forced upon women. Security risks are so high as you don’t know who’s under it.

    Get it banned !

    I find the burka offensive and degrading to women. It is also a security risk .

    We are a Christian country and it has no place here

    Not only for security but it’s the oppression of women, by men. We live in an equal society in GB and there is no place in this Christian country for

    Not only is it a security issue with not being able to make face recognition it is also a derogatory practice towards females.
