Fight with us, live with us. Armed Forces Veterans Automatic Right To UK Citizenship

That legislation be introduced so that all UK Armed Forces Veterans, and their immediate families, irrespective of their heritage, should be allowed an automatic right to become a UK citizen and, if they choose to do so, have an automatic right to live permanently in the UK, after leaving the Armed Forces.

Why is this important?

Recent cases of potential forcible removals of Fijian ex-UK Armed Forces Personnel, and their families, highlight a morally questionable policy, practise and process, that is discriminatory and has an unequal logic and an affront to previous service.  

Introduction of this legislation, applied equally to all ex-Armed Forces Veterans, would close this gap and recognise service and sacrifice to Queen and Country.

Reasons for signing

  • It is simply unfair that commonwealth soldiers who have served country and queen notbeen given the right to stay in the UK after their colour service. These soldiers have been to war putting their lives on the line fighting for Queen and Country. This surely accounts for something. It would be a dream come true to so many ex and still serving common wealth soldiers if this is actioned and mandated.
