A year ago, would that have been a very different story two years ago?
Can I just put something to you?
Just because the war is off our radar a bit.
Well, it's not off the radar.
Yeah, but it's off our radar.
It is like, I mean, that's a huge part of it.
We talked about little else for a while.
We're focused more on the Middle East now.
The bombs are still raining down.
They're raining down in places in the west of Ukraine.
People say there's no safe place for a child in Ukraine.
If you need to look after your own first, right, you will never end.
I've never used that term personally.
I know, yeah, but just let me finish the sentence.
You will never end up looking after anyone else because our own will never be looked after enough.
Alan, is that fair to say?
And I mean, I think Simon Harris did characterize it like this, that you can't have one group of people, a lot of whom are working, getting free accommodation.
So do you think Ukrainians living here should possibly have integrated into society at this stage and not need free accommodation or not need subsidized accommodation in people's houses?
In fairness, can we just say on the fifth anniversary, nobody expected this to be going on for four years.
Yeah, but we made a decision about this war, a country in Europe that was invaded.
