Rejected petition Ban all face coverings in the UK

Ban all face coverings in the UK those include religious coverings

More details

Our ability to see people's faces is essential for maintaining public safety and ensuring that everyone feels secure.
While face coverings might serve various personal, cultural, or religious functions, in the public realm they can obscure identity and increase the potential for unlawful activities. Data from various safety reports suggests that places with visible face policies report fewer incidents of crime and greater community trust. Ban them all!!
