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

Goal: 100,000 Signatures

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.

    When I was a motorcyclist I had to remove my helmet for security reason if I entered anywhere so why can they go everywhere with that thing on.

    Security risk (anybody could be underneath it .

    Goes against facial recognition that the rest of us have to endure .

    It’s controlling to women .

    This dress code is intimidating in that it can be male or female and is selective and racist when it comes to facial recognition
