Rejected petition Ban the Burka and ALL face covering in the UK

More details

The Burka and ALL face coverings should be banned in the UK. The burka is not a religious garment and is worn by choice but it can disguise a terrorist or suicide bomber. If helmets and balcalavas must be removed then so should the burka. This is Britain where face recognition is the norm.
