Bring British Nationals Travelling Abroad Back To The Uk
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Rescue British Nationals all across the world as there is no way of getting home during the Covid-19 outbreak. Aid citizens return home where they can be secure during the outbreak and prevent further risk of widespread contamination across the globe. Repatriation flights to gather Britons globally.
Thousands of British citizens are stranded abroad with no way of getting back to the UK as airlines continue to cancel more and more flights as well as airports closing with no way of transiting through them. Travellers are soon running out of financial options to find accommodation as no firms are taking on new employees so there is no employment available to continue funding accommodation or ways of booking flights back to the United Kingdom.
