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.

    British females are equal with males. We are free to be ourselves & we are proud of it. Face covering has no place here, or elsewhere. Unacceptable.

    Frightens the hell out of me when I see these burkha’s and I wonder who the ’eck is underneath it. In a busy town, I always think is this a terrorist?
