Provide support and security for the people that risked their lives to save ours

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

1. Provide the NHS with the necessary PPE equipment needed to protect themselves
2. Award every person involved in the NHS/Supermarkets immediate British citizenship as a thank you for the risk they put on their own lives in order to save ours
3. Mandatory pay rise across the NHS and supermarkets

The people working the NHS and Supermarkets day in, day out, are putting their own health and lives on the line in order to protect ours. As we would award those who fought in wars to protect our safety, we should award the heroes of the modern age now. That means providing our NHS staff with the necessary equipment to protect themselves. Increasing the pay to mirror the sacrifice of life: including student nurses. And providing all those with the citizenship to remain in this country.
