What the petition asks
I'm a disabled person and have noticed a rise in face coverings in my local town and can't go near them.
Yesterday I saw online as a person attacking someone with homophobic abuse was wearing a cover hiding their identity.
It poses a serious risk and should be banned immediately.

Other European countries have banned it so I think it's time we did the same.
