It will be interesting to see if any politicians step up , as GrannyMac mentioned, many have two homes with brilliant allowances..
The Labour ones seem to be keeping their heads low at the moment.. [2010]

That's because they're shit-scared that someone will ask if any politicians will step up.

If there's free money in it the politicians will fill their boots. Nothing surer.

Many are students who have paid for the privilege of being there.


Well can't they go back to their homes where they came from?

I've seen no expectation that people will take in refugees. Volunteers were stepping up before money was even mentioned.

Well explain what you think the £350 per month represents if it's not an inducement for people to volunteer?

And can I now assume, safely, that non-Ukranian residents do not have the right to relocate to the UK but should return to the country from whence they entered the Ukraine?

Of course £350 might be an inducement to some to volunteer.  Lets just hope the screening works both ways.

The reports I've read suggest that foreign students in Ukraine do want to go home.  Just one of many.
