What the petition asks
At a time when British families face unprecedented pressures on their budgets (fuel/food price increases and stagnating wages) and the threats from Russia and China we cannot continue to send our money abroad. Spend the money on British families and veterans.
The primary responsibility of a government is to protect the safety and security of its country and population.
