What the petition asks
Will the supportive rhetoric of our Government be backed up by its deeds?
As people begin to present at the borders of neighbouring countries we should open its doors to those from The Ukraine who want to come to the UK, particularly those who have already got family and friends here.

Britain has a proud history of protecting and welcoming vulnerable people, but in recent years it seems we have become less welcoming towards refugees and displaced people.
This is a crucial moment for Europe and this action will ensure that Britain takes its rightful place of leadership now amongst other European states and sets an example in this.
