Ukraine War: Refugee system will be 'generous', says Boris Johnson

The Prime Minister says he's "not sure" the claim that 50 visas have been handed out to Ukrainians seeking refuge in the UK was correct - despite the figures coming from the Home Office.

Speaking to broadcasters, he said the UK is 'processing thousands' of applications currently and the UK 'will be as generous as we can possibly be'.

I wish he was as generous to his own citizens....

[neregion]

Translation for people who don't speak Tory - "The system will be garbage but it will allow me to talk as if it is great and make me sound good"

[shogunheroicvictories]

it would be generous is Boris actually took people in himself, instead of leaving it to the taxpayer.

[petrpalecka]

The UK has always been generous to... oligarchs.

[somthingbrutal]

it's a national shame that this is our prime minster

[RustyShackleford]

50 Visas? That's more than he's done for his own people in the last 5 years.

[TheNeverslept]

At least he's consistent.

Always an utter liar.

"Refugee system will be 'generous."
The system has never been generous before, right!?

[filipefernandes]

This man can't even fix his own hair, don't expect much

Translates to "We dont care for peasants suffering and dying, we care for the profits of selling missiles, bombs, bullets and weapons to Ukraine along with the arms we sell to Israel and Saudi Arabia to be used on defenceless people. War makes rich people richer"

[CharlieGrassNJ]

Very generous for doctors, which are arriving everyday on boats to Dover.

[theycallmehot]

Generous with mp payrise, generous with donations, generous with refugees. How about the homeless in this country? how about the nhs? how about him breaking covid rules?

[diro]

Theres more immigrants in UK now days - than actual UK folk lmao

[flare]

Permitted Ukrainian 🇺🇦 refugee arrivals so-far:
🇵🇱 Poland: 885, 303
🇭🇺 Hungary: 169, 053
🇸🇰 Slovakia: 113, 967
🇲🇩 Moldova: 84, 067
🇷🇴 Romania: 71, 640
🇪🇺 Other EU: 157, 000
🇬🇧 UK: 50
very generous indeed

[JG-pkgq]

Very generous. Only 50 visas so far! And how many Russian oligarchs live in the UK?

[Mohsong]

They shouldn’t look at UK as an alternative place to reside. This country is over crowded enough and rather than put Ukrainians in housing how about the UKs homeless people? Allowing thousands in would only raise the already unaffordable house prices

[d.tim]

We voted brexit to stop immigration and it made no difference at all.
Voting is a waste of time in the UK.

[superguy]

How bout some generosity for the struggling British families?

[IrishBoy]

Charity begins at home. There are more than 280, 000 homeless people in England Homelessness figures are counted by each home nation separately, however 2020 figures collected by Shelter showed more than 280, 000 people in England alone had nowhere to call home
