You’re being careful with how you say it, but the meaning is clear. You’re more comfortable with Ukrainians because they’re European and you assume they’re safer. People from other countries get treated as suspicious by default.

The UK could vet people from anywhere if it wanted to. It chooses not to. So this isn’t really about how the system works, it’s about who you feel comfortable letting in.

When you strip it back, you’re just ranking refugees based on where they’re from. That’s the reality of it.
