Refugees from Urkraine will be able to come to Britain if they have a sponsor and somewhere to stay.

For all the people saying they want to help, I wonder how many will actually get to come via this route?

I'll admit, I think the whole situation is awful, I've donated, I'd be happy to help with anything that needs doing the community to welcome them, but I'm not going to invite a desperate stranger into my home.

I'm concerned it could leave people open to trafficking, so I hope there will be proper checks in place where people are going to
