Commit the UK, to focusing on beating Covid19, by delaying brexit for 24 months.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Covid19 Pandemic is the UK's biggest and most urgent threat today.
We are living through unprecedented times, the like of which the UK has never faced before.
It is unrealistic to consider that things can 'go on as normal' whilst we fight this Covid19 pandemic.
Brexit actions must be delayed.
The Covid19 Pandemic is the UK's biggest and most urgent threat today.
We are living through unprecedented times, the like of which the UK has never faced before.
We are a 'Great' nation, but it is unrealistic to consider that things can 'go on as normal' whilst we fight this Covid19 pandemic.
If we honestly wish to beat this challenge, we need to be single minded to do so.
As a society we can not afford the luxury of distractions like Brexit, HS2, or others which do not help the Covid19 fight.
