      I mean we were very good to them. Considering we’ve a housing crisis and all

      If you can go back to Ukraine on holidays….. You can go back for good!

      Pretty sure Reddit will say this is a Russian disinformation campaign.

      If we are doing this for Ukrainians we should be doing it for all refugees.

      It’s all about being good human beings. After four years you’d like to think those that came have got on their feet and are loving their lives here and able to manage now.
      If not, they’d have the same access to supports like the rest of us? I hope so anyway.

      Has there been any studies on the return to the economy here from supporting Ukrainian folks that came? I remember reading something from Poland that the supports given were equal to or outpaced by the return in taxes or business activity or some other metrics.
      Not that peoples lives especially in war should be brought down to euros and cents. But it helped quieten the giving money away for nothing arguments.

      When the war kicked off it violated our sense of moral right and wrong in a visceral way, that many other conflicts don’t for a variety of reasons. It was clear that the “whatever it takes” approach would have a shelf life. Humans get used to stuff and live in the here and now.

      I hope Ukraine wins this war and I hope the Ukrainians who fled here to escape it live wonderful lives, here or elsewhere.

      55% of poll respondents also believe Ukrainian people have made a positive contribution to the country.

      It shows people can hold competing thoughts at once that 1. By and large, these are decent people who have integrated well but 2. We can’t have hotels full forever, at some stage they have to fend for themselves like everybody else.

      Despite all the attempts at driving wedges, it’s good to see the majority still see nuance.

      It’s actually mad seeing Ukrainians on long term job seekers. I work in DSP and come across people who have been on it since they arrived, four years. It’s really hard to stay on it that long, most people are forced onto ce schemes. People on full non contributory pensions and accomodation paid for, I wonder will that stop too or will they keep the pension? Will we see an increase of Ukrainian homeless once the landlord payments stop next year? It’s mad like seeing the amount we have taken in compared to much larger European countries. Not anti refugee at all but we have completely just thrown a blank cheque book at temporary protection. It is creating a lot of anti refugee and immigration sentiment.

      Not just Ukrainians but all supports should be a leg up rather than an optional lifestyle choice. It should be a support to get settled and improve personal circumstances – time to get a job, a place to live and then leave the supports for the next person who needs and deserves it

      The supports ran for a good long time, enough time for people to find their feet and either decide to stay (they are very welcome) or plan to return if things stabilise. It was an emergency response and the humane thing to do, especially given our own experience of forced migration, but eventually it had to wind down. I don’t see anything wrong with this.

    11. Soft-Affect-8327 on

      I get it. We put the supports in place expecting the start of WWIII as Russia steamrolled across to the Polish border. Instead life goes on in a country the size of France & Switzerland put together, with refugees from the easternmost parts of Switzerland.

      They deserve a spot, and a good one at that. I wonder if there’s better ways of giving them that spot.
