Thing with it is visa's are an instrument of control over immigration - people fleeing a war zone are not immigrants they are refugee's

I'll be surprised if they reduce fuel duty tbh as it's not gone up in a while.
They could cut vat on fuel though.

They may come up with something that they'll trumpet as the greatest thing ever,
but when looked at in detail will probably be not so great.
Whatever they do it won't be enough.

Wouldn’t the government want higher prices? If I remember right, fuel has 2 taxes on it. One is a flat rate of approx 55 pence per litre and then there is another 20% tax on the rest.

The higher the price, the greater the revenue for the tax man.

A very pertinent point. Refugees have special status but we seem to have drawn a line that they must have family connections. It’s obvious we don’t want any of the older people who could be ’deemed’ as a drain on our economy because they’ll be the ones who, like many in UK, don’t have a need to hold a passport, or even an ID card. Sound familiar?

How have we come to this?

Heard an Irish Parliamentarian earlier - such a refreshing attitude. He said people didn't need a visa to go there as a refugee. When asked about concerns about security and maybe Russians masquerading as refugees being amongst them he said they have no issues - those number would be tiny if any at all. He then said oh by the way Russians fleeing Putins Russia were welcome there too anyway. He said if they can get to Ireland they will be processed there - they will be temporarily helped into accommodation and assisted in getting somewhere permanent or when its all over and they want to return then repatriation would be assisted too. He said they do not take the view that immigration is a bad thing and Ireland will help anyone who wants to help themselves. There was almost a smirk in his voice when he said that Ireland - like any other modern economy post pandemic has local labour shortages so these people will be able to pay their way and assist in economic recovery.
