The UK government will ask the public to house Ukrainian refugees in their homes, in plans to be announced this weekend. According to The Telegraph:
Ministers will launch a hotline and webpage enabling individuals, charities, businesses and community groups to offer rooms to refugees with no family links to the UK.
The move follows criticism of the Home Office’s “chaotic” rollout of its scheme for Ukrainian refugees with family in the UK, which has led to delays and complaints of excessive bureaucracy.
Western officials on Thursday warned that the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine could rise as high as four million in the coming days, almost doubling current estimates of 2.2 million.
It came as Boris Johnson warned that Britons may face a “bumpy period” of economic pain as a result of banning oil and gas imports from Russia. The Prime Minister said the UK would take “dramatic steps” to achieve an “independent energy supply so that we’re no longer capable of being blackmailed by Putin”.
People offering homes will have to agree to take Ukrainian refugees for a minimum period of potentially six months, demonstrate that the accommodation meets appropriate standards and, if necessary, undergo criminal record checks because many of those fleeing the conflict are likely to be women and children.
Ministers are expected to set targets for the number of offers, and will look to other accommodation providers including councils and housing associations.
Mr Johnson said earlier this week that the “rooms for refugees” scheme would mean “everybody in this country can offer a home to people fleeing Ukraine”.
A source said: “It’s a humanitarian call for action. The majority will be doing it out of philanthropic motives.”
The UK government is waging psychological warfare on its citizens.
They used a fake pandemic to destroy the economy, plunge millions into poverty and wreck what was left of the NHS. They terrorised the population into participating in a dangerous medical experiment too. I could go on of course.
Then, they imposed sanctions on Russia, knowing full well that taking such measures would be catastrophic for food and energy costs here in the UK and that this would push families, already reeling from the covid shock, to the very brink.
And now they’re asking families who don’t have a pot to piss in, to take in refugees.
It’s psychological warfare alright.
Something has to give.
