Following a successful housing scheme – launched last week – to accommodate Ukrainian refugees , the British government is now considering using the hospitality and offers from Britons to resettle other, non-Ukrainian refugees, including thousands of migrants from Afghanistan .
The scheme follows criticism from neighboring nations noting the U.K. had been allowing too few refugees to enter, moreover, government restrictions making the process seek asylum too difficult.
Critics have compared the UK to European countries such as Poland – which has taken in over a million people in recent weeks – despite Poland being a next-door neighbor to Ukraine , and a member of the European Union that Britain left in order to set its own immigration policies.
While the United Kingdom ’s “Homes for Ukraine” programme allowed people to voluntarily offer Ukrainians a rent-free space in their residence for at least six months – with each household receiving £350 a month from the government – that generosity is already being abused.
After seeing over 150,000 members of the British public offer to take in a Ukrainian refugee , ministers are now “considering” using the scheme to resettle thousands of Afghans, many of whom have been living in hotels at great cost to the U.K. taxpayer. With the government struggling to persuade local authorities to house Afghans, senior government sources described the idea of expanding the Ukraine-based scheme as a “good idea.” Just last Tuesday, more than 400 people crossed the English Channel in small boats – the highest daily figure so far this year – with over 2,600 having crossed since the start of 2022. Last year 28,526 people crossed the Channel in small boats from France , over 20,000 more than the year prior.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
