Rejected petition Stop involvement in foreign conflicts that do not concern us and redeploy our forces at home

More details

Stop attempting to police the world and continually getting involved in foreign conflicts that do not concern us and that we cannot afford financially. The forces should be redeployed in the UK to help protect our borders, assist in the fight against terrorism at home and, as and when is necessary, provide logistical help to the regular police in the fight against serious and violent crime.
Only get involved in a conflict if there is a direct threat against the UK or one of our dependent territories.
