I've finally found a source for the 50 refugees the UK has admitted. It is a pitiful number.

But with that said, it's ludicrous to compare the UK to Poland and other border nations. The UK is over 1000 miles away from Ukraine, and there's a sea separating us from mainland Europe. We are not a destination of choice because it is difficult and expensive to reach the UK compared to mainland Europe.

Ireland of course has the same issues, I can't confirm a source for the number poop quoted but it's still a pitiful number, such that if the UK was saying we allowed 1800 in, poop would still be saying it's not enough. Not sure why Ireland is doing marginally better than us, probably being an EU country makes it easier to arrive from another EU country.

The UK certainly needs to do more as this crisis deepens. We can and should help... by flying refugees in from Warsaw, Budapest, and other border capitals. We shouldn't be encouraging people to turn up at Calais where there are already severe refugee problems.
