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.

if police are allowed to use facial recognition then we should all be subject to being identified in this way or facial recognition should be scraped

You’re not even allowed to wear a crash helmet going into some places. There could be anyone under a burka/hijab. How come one "religion " is able to

It offends me and is a security risk much the same as the masked Antifa mobs who regularly cause violent havoc on our streets.
