Please sign, the least the UK can do is to offer this to the many who have worked tirelessly to care for the severely ill https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-offer-unconditional-citizenship-to-all-non-british-nhs-workers

what about those cleaning buses and delivering your online purchases? Many non-British have played a vital role.

Discrimination?

Not at all. How about you start a petition for them? There may be one already. Go and do some research.

Aren?t non-UK NHS staff on a fairly straight path to citizenship anyway, if that?s what they want?

After five years, a visa holding immigrant is eligible for ILR, and citizenship is possible one year after that.

That's what I was thinking, I had a large team of Indians working for me and they were all following this (Govt) recommended pathway, with some of them getting to the end of the process and getting citizenship (and we had celebrations in honour of it each time).

So is the petition superfluous ?

It's not superfluous. You miss the point of signing an online petition. Its not about achieving the actual aim, it's about sharing the fact that you signed it on your social media feeds.....
