Is the interview with the female African student uploaded ?

We're further away ? How far away were we from Afghanistan and Hong Kong ? They were quick to help out there

Canada will be taking an UNLIMITED NUMBER of Ukrainian refugees; and they are a very long way from Ukraine. This Brexit Tory government is draining the Great out of Great Britain one day at a time. Shameful, utterly shameful.

It's none of our business . We must keep out of it

You still don't get it,James!GB is located in the pacific ocean,between US and Australia,near Canada and India.right in the heart of the english speaking world.

Ukrainians by law has the same status as all EU citizens in Denmark. Meaning that they have easier access to everything than all UK citizens.

Let's not talk about the current housing crisis in the country….so when James stops his virtue signalling and opens up his home to refugees then so will I.

Because like the , the authoritarian, isolationist, in many cases inspired by Putin, culture wars and misguided religious zealots, propaganda has gained a foothold. SLAVA UKRAINE

Even Australia, a country on the other side of the world is taking steps to welcome refugees from Ukraine….and doing what it can to assist Ukraine in this war…for the UK government to say they are not close enough to Ukraine to warrant assistance is disgusting

That's easy, trying to make their wrongs right. They got brexit done, and did everything in their power to keep our borders and airports open during covid, so now theyxre so tightly closed that even brits themselves won't be allowed back from holidays without a carrot picking visa.

We should be absolutely no where near Ukraine, it's absolutely nothing to do with us.

He is not called Boris for nothing.

Its the amount of Russian money in London. It's correct the EU are giving three years asylum but it's reviewed everything 6 months

So far Germany has thrown some helmets at the situation….oh, and a few mouldy rockets…
But James O'Bellend here doesn't mention that….

Are you blind James? I live in Leicester and here as in many cities the indigenous people are in a minority. We’ve had refugees from all over the world, a very large amount from Somalia and more recently from Afghanistan. We’ve had up to 1000 illegal immigrants arriving in Britain in a single day on boats, on top of the ones who come here legally. All have to be housed and fed. We are a small island with a large population. We are only half the size of France but with the same population. We are half the size of Sweden who have a tiny population of only ten million. We have always taken more than our share, especially when you consider that many arriving in France, Germany, Belgium and Holland etc use those countries as a stepping stone and end up on our shores.
All these people jump the queue over the British people, some of whom have been waiting for 20 years to get a council house. I believe the waiting list in Tower Hamlets is 29 years. So James, when do you say “that’s enough” Do you wait until we are standing on each others toes? I’m dismayed to see what, only two years or so ago, was farmland now covered in houses and thousands more being built everywhere you look. Soon there will be nowhere for crops to grow and we will be refugees ourselves looking for somewhere decent to live. Not a problem for the rich who will have got richer, they will go off to their farms in somewhere like South America and enjoy the space and their money, whilst the rest of us are left wondering what went wrong.

Our country is being invaded silently by immigrants

We're full, we don't want or need more immigrants. This war is going to hit us financially so we need to look after our own.

It is Brexit Britain. Tories and Farag have weaponised refugees by ensuring the rightwing media conflate it with immigration and immigrants have been turned on.

The reason the UK are dragging their feet is because the Tories cannot make any money out of it, in fact the very opposite will happen, it will cost them money!!!

Because like with any uk government, the pecking order is as follows, us first, the British public second, and everyone else can fend for themselves. Thats just human nature and will never change I'm afraid, but James is using this crisis as yet another opportunity to bash the posh ruling elite he hates so dearly.

The virtue signalling is strong with this one

Tories have given up , perhaps they have collective depression. They don't even try to do the right thing anymore.

The same people who say this country will become ‘third world’ because of Brexit are the same people advocating Ukrainian refugees don’t stay in the utopian eu but come to third world Britain. Oh the irony.

This Government is self serving, totally irresponsible and won't do the right thing.

Oh I so wish I could of phoned in on this

Your hearts ruling your head . Try thinking of the bigger picture .

British people work for 30+ years cant afford a home. Refugees come in and get one for free. Great that more taxpayer money can be spent on refugees before housing homeless british.

so excuse me if I get this wrong but I heard on R4 that we signed up to the budapest treaty which was a pack between Ruskis UK and USA that if Ukraine gave up its nukes they would protect it no matter what. now is that right or wrong I figure its on R4 so chances are its correct. I bet the Ukrainians are ruining the day they did that in I believe 1994. larger point its our duty to help them we gave our word.

Will be interesting to see how the media play this refugee crisis

Why? One word: Tories. The only support they have now is the rabid, Murdoch-brainwashed, xenophobic morons. Alienate them and who else have they got to support them?

The whinging Marxist will say anything for ratings.

Some Brits are still stuck on '66.
Foreigners go home! We'll keep the Curry tho.

I understand we need to help the Ukrainians, and I’m happy to help in any way I can. What a lot of you seem to forget is at the moment there are Afghanistan’s people still living in 4* star hotels living on poor food awaiting to be rehoused. Also the immigrants that have come over from other countries from the dinghies in Dover. Most will need to use the NHS services, that make the waiting lists longer, and people complain. We have a very small country compared to Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, etc. I think setting up the place where they set up the Nightingale hospital for Covid would be helpful until everyone is given food, clothing, bedding, counselling, and then hopefully councils may be able to help. Where I live we are still trying to house Afghans, Syrians, and other nationalities, plus British people that are homeless, or had children with no where to live. It’s not as easy as you all think it is.

the tory party will not help the poor its not in the tory play book . if rich you will be ok but poor you need to just die.

Raab is just an impotent idiot

It's because the UK government doesn't wish to bite the hand that feeds it. They also, collectively, have less spine than a jellyfish, and are busy trying to APPEASE the traitorous fifth-column of far-right whacko's who actually support Putin and his Brexit.
