Not sure of the numbers. Are you comparing apples with pears? You say Republic of Ireland has admitted more than 20,000. Is that in the 3 weeks since the UK system was launched (in which you are comparing the 500 UK figure to), or for the entire crisis so far?Heard reported today that UK has actually admitted all of 500 Ukrainian refugees. 500! When there are 200,000 offers of accommodation registered, and such as the Republic of Ireland has admitted more than 20,000. Three weeks after the 'system' was launched (18th March I think) we have admitted 500 - maybe even 1000, it's utterly shameful and embarrassing. What the he** is going on. And please if all that we've got is 'security concerns' then I despair - as if the UK is the only country in Europe that has terrorist security concerns.
It's either a Home Office shambles or something that can't be mentioned never mind discussed. Can anyone explain in a non-P way please why our verification and vetting system is - or has to be - so drawn out. If the answer to that question is 'No' - then so be it. I can draw my own conclusions.
I also read an article, dated from 4 days ago, that says 2,700 Visas have been granted in the UK under the new scheme, although the total figure since the beginning of March is 25,500.
