Ask Boris to turn our homeless veterans into covid Marshall’s
Offer homeless veterans jobs being covid Marshall’s to get them of the streets and give them some pride (and pay) back
Boris is talking about Covid Marshall’s and putting soldiers on the streets, we already have soldiers on the streets sleeping in doorways. These guys are already military trained and desperate for a new start in life, why don’t we offer these people the post of Covid Marshall, give them pride and pay. Maybe house them together so they can have a community where they understand each others PTSD and other active service related issues.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government has provided funding to local authorities to spend on COVID-19 related compliance and enforcement activities, but how to use this money is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
