Rehouse homeless British Ex military before refugees are given homes in the UK.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Up to 9,000 British heroes who served Queen and country are homeless after leaving the military, a Sunday Mirror investigation reveals today. Shockingly, ex-service personnel account for one in 10 rough sleepers across the UK.
