....and the support for Ukraine in bringing down Russia and it's economy.
Dragging the EU and the USA along with it.
The West feels very united on this, maybe the UK is finding it's place in the world a little bit post-Brexit - just a shame it is taking such horrible circumstances |  |

Sorry to disagree Joe but the EU are by far leading the way on this, last week they agreed that anyone fleeing Ukraine could live, work/ study anywhere in the EU for three years without a visa. Essentially they have de facto EU citizenship and I’m sure that when they are settled they will be able to extend the three years through visas and then citizenship (if that’s the route they want to take).
It’s really not a contest anyway as the only thing that matters is the people’s safety fleeing a war zone. But Poland alone have taken in millions of refugees, the UK is a mere fraction of that in comparison. |
My post was from over 2 weeks ago, and I also mentioned later in the thread (and in others) that the refugee plan has been very poor and shameful to the country - and still is for me despite this new scheme. This was wih regards to how hard we were pushing with the early sanctions | |

Ah my mistake, I didn’t realise it was an old thread that someone had dug up |  |

You are of course 100% correct. UK once again leads the way as they often do in these situations..........
...........Although like you I am a bit baffled by our dilly dallying on the refugee front, I note now that people can come with no restrictions if they have family here but it just sounds a bit stingy. After-all, any displaced people will prefer and probably head for Poland and The Baltic States anyway. |
There's two problems for the government here
They had created a hostile system to stop refugees fleeing places like Syria which now has made it difficult for Ukrainians, they have had similar attacks on regular immigrants
They convinced the public during Brexit that Eastern Europeans were a problem, now they want to take 200k of them back in again, it's a confusing scenario for them |  |
