in addition to the 1 million they took in 2014. I wonder what Farage and the 'Yeah but we're full' mob would make of that. Well done Poland. Hopefully other countries will step in and do their duty. |  |

Poland have stepped up big time. Hopefully we will as well. |  |

It’s unlikely Ukrainian spouses of British citizens would get in here, let alone refugees with no ties. There is no legal way for refugees to enter the UK and no sign that will change.

That's not my point though. | |

They share the same background of oppression/control from Russia so will have a natural affinity. |  |

Hence the breaking news about Poland refusing to play World Cup qualifier play off game against Russia. |  |

They are also next door but let's not let that fact get in the way.
Of course though we should be prepared to accept any displaced Ukrainians, let's see what happens.
It's only just begun. |  |

The reports of ordinary Polish citizens offering lifts and accommodation to recent arrivals is very heart warming. No doubt their recent history and knowledge of life behind the iron curtain plays a part in this. |  |

I'm convinced we would all do the same in that situation.
I have great faith in humanity as it happens. | |

Yeah not too bad thanks, I did think about you when this all kicked off.
Up until the final few days I didn't think Putin would go for it, I tend to believe the best in people, even mentalist dictators.
Are your kids (European batch) going to Oz with you? | |

"Up until the final few days I didn't think Putin would go for it..."
I was exactly the same. Seems ridiculous looking back now. | |

Although those determined to leave still will, I am sure, it just makes it more difficult for them to do so. I am uncertain of the wisdom of trying to force them to stay. It is also notable that there seems (anecdotally from news I am reading) like there is a high percentage of females in the Ukrainian army.
I cannot imagine what torment will go through the decision process of a young man living there with a family that he wants to keep safe right now. |  |

Probably been covered a few times but watching Sky News just now and there's civilians: women, kids... sitting on the ground preparing sticky polystyrene coating ready to be attached to molatovs.
The idea being the coating helps the bottles to attach to their target rather than bounce off.
A lot of people risking themselves to play their part.
Can't help but fear for them but have nothing but respect for them at the same time. [Post edited 26 Feb 2022 14:19]

Talking of Poland, where is Mach these days? He hasn't posted since Nsiala left, which seems too much of a coincidence to me. | |

Along with Poland and its people.
Although I've not been to Poland I have much respect for the way the country is responding to their neighbour's plight.
I also lived in Chedburgh for several years and their losses and bravery is well-documented for their WW2 exploits.
On top of that, I've met some lovely Poles here over the years. | |
