Open U.K borders to Ukrainian refugees seeking refuge from Russia

What the petition asks
Look at allowing a mandate for a certain number of victims of war fleeing the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine.
This could be the start of a tyrannical war that will have repercussions worldwide. Nobody wants to see the start of a world war and we as democratic citizens who care about the human race should do everything in our power to stop fascism and the rights of human beings to vote and democratically elect their own leaders.
