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.

    Why should some people be allowed to avoid facial recognition technology? Burqas are a known way for criminals to avoid detection.

    Burkas should be banned for security reasons! No one knows who is in a burka so that is itself a security issue.

    A burka ban safeguards women’s spaces & national security. Anonymity is a threat, allowing undetected entry and hindering identification. Safety 4 all

    Masks on marches shouldn’t be allowed either. Either you are proud of your cause or ashamed.
