Rejected petition Ban the burka in public

Many of us would like the UK government to ban the burka in public. When a person is wearing a burka, their identity is hidden, meaning they can use the burka to commit crimes, hiding their face. Who is beyond the burka? Muslim? Terrorist? Criminal? We don't know!

More details

Many Britions believe the security risk, and should be banned in public view. Sign if you feel the burka should be banned in public for a good cause!
