Rejected

What the petition asks
Support out troops passed and serving. Recognise the issue firstly !
We owe these professionals. How difficult is that to sort out ? Other lesser nations support their veterans better than this country as the norm. We as GREAT Britain do nothing. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 This has to change right now ! We support lots of people from wherever but let our own down. Some live rough on the streets and some kill them selves. You the elected need to stop this. Support our Military once and for all. Get a grip. Stop suicide amongst vets first and let’s get them sorted. It’s a disgrace !!!
