What the petition asks
We believe that face coverings should be banned for demonstrations and other protests
All too often, we see demonstrators engaged in violent acts hiding their faces in an attempt to evade the law.
It is time Government banned all face coverings on demonstrations & other marches.

It is time Government banned all face coverings on demonstrations & other marches.
There have been recent demonstrations where people engaged in violence have hidden their faces in a clear attempt to evade the law.
It is time Government acted to legislate so that the wearing of face coverings on demonstrations and marches is made illegal.
What are are witnessing is anarchy on our streets against a democratically elected Government.
It is time to ban the use of face coverings.
This will make it easier for the police in the pursuit of law enforcement.
