There is nothing difficult in it really. Bear in mind that the people being processed are already in a safe country within europe, its not like we are bordering ukraine

If they're at utility bills, how do you think that list is going? Not everyone was an evacuee before bombs started flying, so even expecting that folks will have passports is a complete stretch.

Already in a safe european country is irrelevant, and is along the lines of the made up nonsense that seemed to be created in anti-asylum seeking circles of "first safe country." Was never a thing then (proven in UK courts), and it's either not a thing or completely irrelevant now.

You know how the media manipulates the people in this country when poland have already taken in 1.2 million, and our hundred or so is deemed too many.

Who said it was ‘too many’?

When we know what we've done to help out as a country (or not), and people are making excuses and commending our little effort, it's not because they think we should be making more of an effort.
