What the petition asks

It has got me so mad that people are up in arms about migrants and refugees, but nothing is done to help our ex service personnel to find homes, Medical help or get benefits they should be entitled to. So I decided to do something, I hope that you will support this.
we have thousands of ex service personnel sleeping on our streets, they have put their life on the line in the defence of our country. They deserve to be looked after when they have left the service. These people are being put at the back of the queue behind migrants, immigrants, and refugees it is so wrong. This includes the Gurkhas who have serve our country with honour for so many years.
