Rescue those UK Citizens stuck abroad during this Coronavirus Pandemic.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want support and rescue to retrieve all UK citizens stuck out in other countries. They need support and re-assurance of you trying to bring them home and to stop telling them you cannot help bring them home. No such word as can't.
I have friends stuck out in Bali and your telling them you can't do anything, very anti national of us. There are a lot more people stuck out in countries with no money left to even eat and look after themselves.
