We have increased our population by about 2-2.5% by taking in refugees from the war since 2022. That figure is between 10 and twice as much as other western countries. We have taken in over 112,000 people into a country with a popupation of around 5 million. We have a housing and resource crisis. Ukraine did not cause any of these crises to note, the politicians did, but we took them in despite the challeneges faced such as the increased cost of living and housing issues.

Norway has a similar population, but we've only taken in 79000.

OK that's a lot.
