Rejected petition Honorarium British Citizenship to qualified key workers of COVID19 crisis.
The goverment to offer honorarium British citizenship to those qualified professionals identified as key workers for the COVID19 crisis, who hold a permanent residency for at least a year.
More details
Qualified professionals such as NHS staff, teachers, social workers and children services workers in local authorities, are working really hard through that crisis and even put their own lives at risk in order to save lives in hospitals or improve the lives of vulnerable children in the UK. This service proves their loyalty to the British public and the United Kingdom and if they do hold a permanent residency for at least a year they should be offered the citizenship as a gesture of appreciation
