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

33,735 Signatures
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.

Burkhas in Public in the UK is obviously a security risk and an easy way for criminals to commit crime and remain anonymous.

Common Sense comes first.

A national security issue, when I wear my motorcycle helmet and go into a petrol station I have to remove it to show my face. This is no different.

This is an issue which needs to be addressed for our safety. Other countries have already taken this step for the same reasons!
