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.

    It is totally unacceptable in our society to have women seen to be belittled and abused openly in our Country. No more. Ban it now.

    For our country’s security this has to stop. It is disrespectful to women and not necessary here in the UK. Go back to where you came.

    I agree wholeheartedly regards the removal on safety grounds if it is good enough to remove crash helmets on security grounds what is the difference

    Dressing like this does not belong in this country.

    Not only is oppressive it’s a security threat.

    The burka is oppression of women should be banned totally in all countries as it’s very degrading for the women who are treated like slaves
