This is in relation to illegal economic migrants - not really they time or place to make your "illegal migrants welcome - jump on a dinghy" point.
Britain takes more actual refugees directly from camps that host the most vulnerable, than most countries in the world. It's almost certain that we'll take our fair share from Ukraine.

Why doesn't it say 'illegal economic migrants' then?
making stuff up again to suit your zenophobic opinions.

the USA, followed by Canada and the UK, resettled the most refugees during 2019




So essentially you're just angrily spouting nonsense because the facts don't fit with lies. We get that you hate Britain, but you should keep your smears to yourself at serious times like this.
 
This thread is a very interesting read. Not about abutting now per se, just the experience of someone who has been through sinular as a civilian, told dispassionately and clearly

A number of EU countries grant asylum to more refugees than the UK does​

includes those granted asylum after an appeal, so records a slightly higher number of people granted asylum in the UK in 2018 (17,205, of whom 13,845 were refugees).

The data shows that a handful of EU countries granted asylum to more people than the UK in both 2017 and 2018, with Germany taking in far more than anyone else.

, Germany (139,555), Italy (47,885), France (41,440), Austria (20,700) and Sweden (19,605) all granted asylum to more people than the UK.

If you only look at asylum granted to refugees (so not people with other forms of humanitarian protection), the UK is fourth behind Germany (61,350), France (27,135) and Austria (14,815).

The story is similar in . Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Sweden all granted asylum to more people than the UK, and all but Italy granted asylum to more refugees than the UK.

Excluding asylum applications where the outcome was unknown, but including those who were successful after appealing an initial rejection, to the UK were granted asylum or another form of protection in 2017—the lowest level since 2006.
 
The latest MOD update says the advance has slowed considerably (temporarily) likely due to logistics difficulties (and strong resistance). Apparently they are also going around settlements and leaving encircling forces. I fear another long night for those defending the areas around Kyiv.

Resettling is different to granting asylum.
