It's obvious what should happen - the EU and UK have to agree a fair and sensible plan for taking refugees in, but as Brexit (which the Tory government is responsible for) has poisoned relations between the EU and UK so badly, it isn't going to happen until a change of government, if at all.
uh? the refusal rate is going down fast just because ukrainians are all accepted (as they should be), but ukrainians aside refusal rates have always been over 50, sometimes over 80%, in most EU countries and in the UK, every year (again Germany another exception the 2 years they let in all sirians almost automatically).
Basically outside of clear "country of origin" war, more than 50% of asylum requests are routinely refused, and sometimes, depending on the country, it has been more than 80%.
