Government should ensure the safety of British people from terrorism.

Closed 206 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that the UK government has a responsibility to ensure the protection and safety of the general public.

Therefore I believe that the government should reverse cuts to the police and the military to ensure that any similar attack in this country could receive a proportionate response.
Prime Minister to specifically identify what precautions are in place after the Paris attacks.

Prime Minister to be transparent about whether any cuts to the police/ military are likely to degrade these precautions.

Prime Minister to make assurances that military action in Syria will not further the terrorist's cause.

If you, like me, believe that current cuts to our police and military should be reversed and indeed more funds should be made available, then please sign this petition.
