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’s not safe for people in the UK to be walking round wearing burkas. You get told to take off your bike helmet so why not the Burkas

    Such outdated religious customs are not compatible to the 21st century here in Britain.
