We (and a few neighbours in the same position (empty nesters)) have given our names to our local Church which is co-ordinating the requirements/rooms available in this neighbourhood.

Can I also suggest if anyone is thinking of donating money, use the DEC.ORG.UK website, as the U.K. Government is matching contributions (also, tick "Gift Aid" as well).

Already spoken to SWMBO, if there’s an opportunity to provide shelter we will, we’ve got three spare double rooms.

Are they in the U.K. yet ? These are actual numbers of people already in new countries, whilst we dilly dally

Could you answer the question I posed ?

We are further away than the countries that border Ukraine. But the UK offer is there to be taken up.

The countries that most of those poor people have fled to, seeking shelter, are far closer than the UK, how are they supposed to get here as quick? :rolleyes:

We should be putting a similar amount of effort into getting refugees to safety as we have made of getting military supplies in.

Don’t tell me it can’t be done, it can, it just requires effort.

I'm embarrassed by the mixed messages and weasel wording of government statements. After all we've armed the Ukranian men and the least we can do is shelter their women and children.

Bravo. Exactly the right sentiment.

This is what we should strive for:

Thousands of people in Berlin have gone to the central train station to offer fleeing Ukrainians a place to stay. Really moving.

Doesn't Farage's children have German passports? I wonder if he'll be with them on the platform and what his sign, that he holds up, might say?

When they get out of Ukraine, companies like WizzAir are offering free flights. English is the third most spoken language in Ukraine so the UK is attractive for that reason.

I think there's more Russian oligarchs than Ukranian refugees here!

A government minister has defended the UK's support for fleeing Ukrainian refugees after it was revealed by the Home Office only "around 50" visas had been granted.

By design, I'm afraid. This Government is in a dilemma: they think they need to pander to the prejudices of their core support but, at the same time, try to appear generous and supportive of Ukraine on the world stage. An impossibility ..

Re: Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Discussion

As a conservative. I’m deeply embarrassed by this governments approach to Ukrainian refugees. There should be a decisive instruction and criteria.

Our side has been banging on about illegal migrants not coming from war torn countries like France. But these Ukrainian migrants are desperate and are coming from War torn countries.
