Ukraine refugees help
Jump to: Newest in thread
No, they are not. It's disgraceful that they show they don't care, because they really have little empathy for others suffering. Visas are really difficult to get, with extremely low numbers given. We've crawled at putting sanctions on oligarchs, helping them more than the poor people in Ukraine. 
So much we should be doing, yet so little interest in taking action to help the needy and desperate |

No, put the resources to process them into Calais not have hundreds there who are then told they have to go back to Brussels or on to Paris and then there are up to a weeks wait for an appointment..
Shambles doesn't come close.. |

Our Government are an embarrassment, compared to other nations. When several cabinet members would not be here in the UK today if their parents or grandparents hadn't been granted quick entry to the UK, it seems incredibly hypocritical to be insisting on paying for visas and asking displaced people to scan and upload documents to a fucking website.
If we are so concerned about security, bring people over, second the hotels previously used for red list quarantine, put people in hotels with food provided, and "process" their applications in the conference suite. I don't even think that's necessary, but it's an option. |

"No the UK government doesn't want to help, they're all talk"
Ms Rayner summed up this Govt quite well!
It breaks my heart to see the families and children with their lives in a suitcase with nowhere to go.
PLEASE, please contribute to the many humanitarian aid charities and funds, millions raised already.
"Glory to Ukraine" |

"Doing more than enough, we are a bankrupt nation who can't afford to stick our noses into every single thing that happens around the world, "
50 people so far. That's more than enough, how many would you suggest we take, 7 or 8? |

Certainly not disagreeing that would should be doing more.
But as a country that's already vastly overcrowded I would imagine that it's not simply a case of opening the borders and allowing an influx of people in, surely infrastructure must be put in place first to not only let them in but housing and support?
Yes there must be many unoccupied buildings available but it's not that easy.
Perhaps house some in the seized properties in London from the rich russian billionaires 
It's not easy for sure but certainly more action is required. |

It could definitely be done. The problem is a lack of political will. |

I fear that British politicians know who their superiors are, and it's not the British public. It's their paymasters in the east. |

It is surprising the time it is taking to process those who wish to leave Ukraine and come to the UK, which I think will be considerably less than the number of Ukrainians who will wish to remain in Poland and return to their home when there is change at the top in Russia.

Looking back to 1938 when the Daily Mail complained about the influx of German Jews we can clearly see a comparison with the daily mail of today along with the morals of its reader base.
Still many brexiteers wanted closed borders so they should be happy at the problems the Ukrainians are having. Priti Patel must be getting her portrait up on a lot of living room walls. Rule Britannia and all that.
For the record we always had closed borders if we wanted them whilst in the EU.
There’s plenty of room for immigrants in this country and plenty of money. The only problem is the money isn’t shared out.
Shameful obstructive behaviour by our government.

"Is Brexit to blame?"
For the war? Possibly part of Putin being confident that we are not united and weak. Also his confidence in his belief he has influence over our government was to blame. He was pro Brexit.
Is Brexit to blame for the refugees? No, Russia is.
Is Brexit responsible for our abhorrent behaviour towards migrants? Yes in my opinion. |

We've written to our MP today, with this being a comparison we've made. My family background includes Jewish people who perished in the Holocaust. They had family here in the UK at the start of the war, but rules wouldn't have allowed them to come, unless they could all have been sponsored by employers. That was despite a very well-to-do family existing here, with a large home. Of course, everyone who remained on continental Europe were exterminated. |

No. It is the mentality of the type of w*****s that caused Brexit that is to blame. Small Minded isolationists.
52 % of the English people "
52% of those who voted to be accurate . |

It was mentioned on news this morning that there was a risk of trafficking now because of children/mothers getting separated and people turning up and offering lifts who could be dodgy.
The faster they can get folk to safety the better. UK needs to accelerate their processing procedures. |

"And don't forget the most searched topic on Google UK The day after the result was 'what is the eu' says it all. "
People still have no idea.
There was a yougov survey in December that suggested that upto 18% of people still think brexit is a good idea.
I know you can't always trust surveys etc. But still, that's potentially millions of people still completely detached from reality. |

"This is horrific! Liz Truss showing yet again she is just ignorant and incompetent. What a shambles of a cabinet.
https://youtu.be/mxX139C-kwo"
She and the rest of them are a complete embarrassment. This is what happens when incompetent buffoons who say silly things about cheese, get into important jobs. It's painful to watch/listen  |

Absolutely!
But if someone's opinion is that clouds are made of candyfloss, the earth is flat, or brexit is a good idea. Then it's fair game to poke fun. |

Some people like to be cunts to others because it makes them feel they are part of a tribal group, does that make it a good thing? |
