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.

    This practice is a security issue and has no place in Great Britain.

    It’s degrading for women, the lack of sunlight, and you don’t know whose under the things, a terrorist could use it to hide explosives

    Wearing these burkas and the same dress design they could perform a terrorist act then fit right in with their accomplices.

    They are a barbaric, menacing, oppressing, disturbing custom that should have no place in a modern and democratic society.
