No, from war torn countries.
If you're against people seeking refuge in the UK, then that's your opinion.
I understand the issue surrounding economic migrants and while I think the topic is over-discussed (considering those coming over on boats make up a small percentage of our migrants each year) and is spoken about divisively, that doesn't mean I don't think there needs to be something done to stop/limit, it for the benefit and safety of everyone, including those who aren't seeking refuge who are making crossings.
However, in terms of Refugees? I just am surprised to see it so brazenly marked on a symbol inciting hate. Usually those who are against immigrants insist it's *just* the economic migrants they are against, not those seeking refuge.
I wonder how the Ukrainian refugees feel about such messaging. And the many thousand from HK who have come to the UK to escape the political unease in their homeland.
Also, would love to know how much the people who erected this
actually care about Veterans. It's kind of giving... performative.
