'The indicative estimates of Russia's losses as of March 14, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.'
Even if they were to go after them for us I think arming them is still a bad idea.Plenty of people have been advocating that we should come to some kind of “rapprochement” with the Taliban in the interests of the Afghan people given that they’re clearly backs to stay as the Afghan Government.
While I sort of agree from a humanitarian point of view I’m not sure what good arming them does, its not as if they’re about to go after China, Russia or Iran for us?
Yeah it is, but it's old news now - from a week ago now.

These guys are Nazis . Ethno fascists.
But they are on the right side just now so it's all roses.
Russian bad. Nazi ok.
No it wasn't, but things can be done to encourage it. £350 is a very low sum.
Stay classy, India.
I don't doubt that, but since they just see their popularity rise in the polls every time they've stuck it to foreigners or the poor in the past, you can see why![]()
We've live for 12 years with a party in power who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, what would you expect?It really isn't. £350 a month will more than cover energy and food costs for that person and you get the satisfaction of helping someone flee from a war zone and doing some good in the world.
We really have become a materialistic generation haven't we.
Is the £350 per refugee?
On the news the people being interviewed about opening their homes keep saying they'll take a refugee (singular) but surely most will be families / women and children.

Are there really groups that extreme in the UK? America sure, but I don't think there are many Neo Nazi groups here, they'd be much more low key anyway
Per room i believe and yes, it will all be women, children or old pensioners 60+ men.

An interesting take on the war in Ukraine: https://qr.ae/pGLHZP
TLDR: if you look at the war in von Clausewitz's terms then Russia is succeeding in its actual objectives. NATO is also too scared to act.
I wish people would stop conflating leaving the EU with not wanting to help refugees. These divisive, sweeping statements do not help.As a champagne socialist, and a remainer I should put my money where my mouth is.
Well the other day you were arguing they shouldn't be needing or wanting to come here anyway because they were already in a safe country. Now you're saying theres not enough being done to encourage or facilitate them coming?
I get the feeling you just like to be argumentative![]()
For a room in a shared property for hosting a person or family, if empty property with many rooms, it is only £350 for the whole property and same applies to shared homes with many rooms available it is only a one off payment per address of £350 no matter how many you take and how many rooms you have.
Which is probably why councils are getting £10k per refugee to do with as they please and the adults will be allowed to find work as well.
I think what people are getting at, is there is a large number of affluent people in the country with spare rooms who would have accepted a refugee for 6 months regardless of any financial contribution from the government. My wife and myself were discussing this (we don't have kids, can afford it etc.) before the mention of £350 per month. I think the government has actually misjudged the kindness of the UK population. I doubt the incentive was needed.
