What the petition asks
Notify the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe of a "public emergency threatening the life of the nation". Effective immediately.
We think the Government could use the derogation to close the borders to illegal immigrants, to detain all illegally entered immigrants and asylum seekers who have broken UK law and deport them. We believe our nation is in a public emergency, caused by mass, illegal, unvetted immigration. Tens of thousands of men from foreign counties have entered the UK illegally, and we think the majority do not align with the decent values of Great Britain. We believe the British are scared, and they shouldn't be. We want our nation safe to live in.
