Because, how we treat others really shows the true character. Also I really don’t think we’ve lead the world. It’s been pretty uniform across the EU and NATO.
the refugee issue is going to last a lot longer than the war, we’ve done the easy bit but we aren’t willing to do the tough bit. I’m glad that our European neighbours are more compassionate.

Putin has just opened the door to the west. Get ready to see a massive change of ideology and lots of countries requesting membership.
We are letting people in so stop peddling lies.

We can't, we don't have tens of thousands of homes to put these people. Also, if these people were to be housed for free or very low council rents then everyone would want the same deal.
The immediate concern for refugees should be to get them to safety in a neighbouring country. We are providing aid to these places. There then needs to be some organisation of sharing the refugees out across Europe and not a disproportionate number choosing the UK.

Perhaps but it's not as if Ukraine being in will make a huge difference to any of that, US is the real power house in NATO, I think Ukraine are more interested in it from the defensive point of view.
I've said before but I'd prefer a more open Russia than the version we have, they should not fear the west but instead work with it.
Given the level of readiness of airborne forces from NATO with round the clock persistent missions in the sky, I think they are taking it a lot more seriously than that regardless of the public facing stance. The US and UK, etc. alert level is definitely heightened.
The Russian psyche has never seen nuclear war as "the end" in the way the West has and that should concern people. During the cold war when our civil defence was little more than bunkers for the government and advice how to possibly survive the initial blasts they were building huge bunkers with the goal of surviving and re-emerging.
Refuse refugees from a war zone because local citizens may want the same council tax discount they get?

You happen to mention it so I wondered if you knew.
Lets just hope we the UK don't need help from other countries because we are setting a great example as always.
Have you not watched any news this last week? Whilst the UK government could have done a few things better wrt immigration/refugees, they were one of the key drivers for rougher sanctions, such as booting Russia out of the swift system.

We aren't refusing though are we! We can't take everyone that's just common sense.

Just seen this, wow. Props to Boris. He's totally right.
Sure it's awful for the people on the ground in the Ukraine but you just can't engage the Russians in direct combat.

But not nuclear.

We aren't on the edge of that war zone like Eastern European countries are. Hence they have a different visa scheme to admit people quickly into a neighbouring country because that is right to open that passage of travel quickly in the circumstances.

Wah. Wah. Wah.
Tiny Lebanon deals with a million refugees from our wars, but fifth biggest economy in the world UK can't stand up to the plate for tiny numbers of refugees. How little do you, and other pretend patriots, think of our country that we can't step up to the plate for this? Pathetic.
