Boris Johnson's comment on Burka is hateful, divisive. Sack him from the Party.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Government must sack Boris Johnson from Conservative Party for spreading hatred and division by saying Muslim women wearing burka look like a letter box and bank robber.

Mr Johnson wrote an article in The Daily Telegraph, Mon 6/8/2018 Page 14 "The lovely Danes have got it wrong- a burka ban is not the answer.

He said:
"If you tell me burka is oppressive, then I am with you."
"I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes."
"If a female student up at school or at a university lecture looking like bank robber then ditto."
"A scuffle broke out as someone tried to rip it off her head"

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for MPs/ Cabinet Ministers to be sacked.
