Ban all face coverings in public spaces.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Our town and city centers have become over rum with trouble makers, theives and attackers all wearijg balaclavas or other full fave coverings. This is clearly documented online and clearly only dont to hide their identity. This should include all other face coverings including religious ones.
A nationwide ban on all face coverings in public places with instant heavy fines.

This is a risk to the uks homeland security and its also a risk to the general law abiding public and its gotten out of hand.

You literally cannot walk around most town ctrs without being swarmed in some cases by the unidentifiable.

Its not about anything religion based when it comes to the burka and nikab not is it a breach or anyone's right when it comes to balaclavas.

Its about the streets being safer.
