Rejected petition Allow Ukrainian refugees into the UK
Rejected on
The British Government needs to show support for the people of Ukraine who are being displaced by the Russian invasion. We need to allow those people who are fleeing conflict to take refuge here, including those who wish to join family here.
It is our moral and human obligation to allow those in dire need, fleeing for their lives to take refuge here. We did this to our credit in WW2, and we should do it now, as the right thing to do.
