Why this petition matters

The UK has suffered over 10% of the global death toll from Covid 19 despite only having 1% of the world's population.  It is clear from looking at other countries that it would be possible for our Government to have dealt with this crisis far more effectively.

As the news each day tells us of the hundreds who died in the UK over the previous 24 hours, we risk these horrific figures becoming normalised and us all failing to be shocked. 

We are calling on the UK Governmment to take the following actions

  • All non-essential workers to be placed in the furlough scheme
  • Every UK firm producing PPE to be able to sell in the UK unless no more is needed
  • Every key worker to have an adequate level of PPE supplied and acccess to regular testing
  • Mass testing of our population to be started in every community
  • Our NHS to be renationalised
  • The UK Government to support the call for a global ceasefire of all military activity
  • Efforts made to end the practice of tax avoidance and evasion
  • A wealth tax established to help pay for the cost of this pandemic
  • All healthcare workers to  have student debts cancelled

All of us who have signed this petition are shocked by the UK death rate and believe nothing is more important than life itself
