Open the UK Borders unconditionally to Ukrainian refugees Immediately

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Revoke the "only if they have family here" clause re : refugees from Ukraine; open a Safe and Legal route to the UK for refugees fleeing the Russian Aggression in Ukraine; accept whoever requires aid and make the changes immediately.

The Republic of Ireland, Poland and others have shown Humanity and Compassion in opening their borders and taking on the burden of refugees fleeing for their very lives.
The UK's current policy is shameful and shows zero compassion or understanding.
Our Policy should reflect that of more civilised countries and MUST, NOW!
