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.

The burka is a backward barbaric outdated ridiculous garment, ESPECIALLY in Great Britain . It’s a dangerous attire & a threat to safety.

They should respect British Culture. We respect their Culture when we go to their Countries. Women put headscarfs on when visiting there.

The Burka puts Woman into a second class being, not even a person. Let’s not forget MAN is born by a Woman why should Men dictate their life on Earth?
