I usually look to the nordic countries as perfect examples of the direction the UK should go in, but this seems incredibly cruel to me.. this is similar (but not the same obviously) to the way Nazis took valuables from Jewish people from WW2. It makes me really sad to see stories like this.
I can understand there are limits to how many refugees that can be taken in, countries like Sweden & Germany have taken in too many than can possibly looked after, and I blame countries like our own for that - with a population of ~65 million we really could do more than just 4,000, but to take valuables from refugees just seems utterly demoralising and heartless. I don't know how they can justify it.
