UK Supporting Refugee's To Go Anywhere But Here

Boris Johnson does like to tag the words' World Beating' onto things so when asked this week about the pretty woeful policy on Ukrainian refugees, Boris announced that his Government had a: 'World-beating record on refugees' and 'We've done more to resettle vulnerable people than any other European country' which isn't even in the same city as the Ballpark as Britain barely make the top 20 of the most welcoming European countries but he wasn't going to let the facts stand in the way of lying his arse off.
Unfortunately, Boris has surrounded himself with half-wits such as Pritti Patel who was sacked from Theresa May's Cabinet and then when Boris Johnson became prime minister, he promoted her to home secretary and kept her safe after she was found guilty of breaking the ministerial code for bullying staff.
Her performance has therefore been as awful as you would expect, while other European countries have opened their borders to welcome refugees, she went out of her way to make it almost impossible for any Ukrainians to reach this country by first not disclosing where most of the visa application centres were situated meaning refugees being sent on pointless journeys from Calais to Lille to Paris and back again.
Her underling, Kevin Foster, took to Twitter to say that refugees could always take advantage of the seasonal agricultural workers scheme picking fruit but by then Patel had announced that she would be making it easier for Ukrainians fleeing a war-zone to come to the UK and all they would need is that UK visa, their Ukrainian passports and a family in the UK which doesn't sound like it has been made easier and she had actually tagged on two additional conditions but then nobody asked me.   
She did stick up for herself though when some other MP's asked why when Poland has taken 1.2 million Ukrainian refugees, Hungary has taken 190,000, Germany 50,000 but we had only taken 50 by angrily pointing out that actually we had taken 300, or 3 times the the number of people you’d invite to a Downing Street bring-your-own-bottle party in the middle of a lock-down if that helps you put it into perspective.
Alongside her on the front bench we have the Foreign Secretary Liz Truss who won’t rest till every UK citizen is fighting in Ukraine although her speech that she would welcome any Brit who wanted to go to Ukraine to fight against Russia was sharply slapped down as illegal by everyone else,
still, she has been sitting in tanks for photo opportunities at every turn so she probably wasn't up to speed.  All in all, a perfect shambles but to be fair, did we really expect any different from this circus of clowns who were voted by the racists and fruitcakes into Office to bring about Brexit whose Raison d'ĂȘtre was to shift the foreigners out and keep them out?
