Somewhere, a Batley school teacher and his family are in hiding, 'incredibly angry & upset', in fear of their lives, after being threatened by a similar mob, and you, his MP, have said and done nothing.
'Our country deserves far better.'
BBC: UK has only taken 50 Ukraine refugees, the EU one million.
Well, yes, seeing as, Poland, where most of them are, is next door to Ukraine, whereas UK is about 1400 miles away.
