What the petition asks
ban the burka in public places as we are not a Muslim country
Because of the recent terror attacks happening around the world I think it's about time Britain followed the likes of France and banned the burka in public places. As we no you can't wear hoods or buy petrol without taking your motorcycle helmet off but we're allowing people to walk round with a full face cover in a country which isn't a Muslim country
