What the petition asks

We need to focus on our country, our country is on its knees due to the pandemic and we can’t afford to look after our own people effectively, we need to help ourselves before we even think about helping anyone else.
With large numbers of UK residents, including veterans, already homeless, and the economy in decline as a result of the pandemic, the British people need stability, and reassurance that our Government will prioritise us to ensure that we can become the great nation we once were.

Given the failure to accommodate the people who are in need now we should not take in anyone else at this current time. We need to focus on tackling COVID and sorting out our the current housing affordability crisis.
