Give all Key Workers in the Corona Virus Crisis a Service Medal.
I want the Government to issue a Service Medal to all Key Workers who are risking their lives daily to keep our country safe. During all wars this country give service medals to people who serve during a war and this has been called a war.
Because there are thousands of people in all walks of life who are risking their lives to save others in many different ways. Not just Doctors, Nurses and Carers. But Shop keepers keeping food stores open, delivery drivers keeping shops and supplies going, Firemen, Police, Ambulance drivers, Volunteers looking after elderly and vulnerable people and many more people helping in all sorts of ways.
