What the petition asks
Covid-19 and the ongoing decline in oil price have led to thousands of job losses - meaning that families are losing their source of livelihood. This is a crisis that needs government interventions.
Can the British Government set up a rescue package for the oil industry similar to the 2008 for the bankers.
