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.

    The statement that “anyone should be allowed to wear what they want" is misused to support the enforced wearing of religious garb.

    Yes it should be banned.

    It is a tool of oppression and ownership of a woman.
