It’s sad to hear that actor Dennis Waterman has died at the age of 74. A familiar face on our screens for generations. His role as Terry McCann alongside George Cole’s Arthur Daley in ITV’s Minder is part of television folklore. A much loved show and rightly so. RIP Dennis.

I can verify this first-hand. 2nd choice is (generally speaking) Germany and so on. Maybe as the crisis deepens, and neighbouring countries struggle to accommodate, the UK will become a more attractive destination

It may be an unpalatable fact for some but most Ukrainian refugees want to move to a neighbouring country - typically Poland - rather than the UK. They live in hope of a prompt return to their homeland.
