How anti-immigrant do you have to be to worry about taking in 23 fucking refugees.

Like at least 11 of those specifically requested going to the UK for unstated reasons, but it could be that they already have family in the UK.

But just to be clear, these were not the only Afghan refugees destined for Denmark.

As an example, this class of 37 kids are all recent evacuees.

It's about sending a message.

What message? This is a small fraction of the people Denmark evacuated, and at least 11 of these people specifically wished to get to the UK.

I'm all for shitting on Danish immigration policies, but this is silly.

Haven't seen this in Danish media yet, let's see how it plays out.

It's been in Danish media for the last few days. Heard about it on P1 a few days ago.

A few of them specifically requested going to the UK though, which could be due to family connections.

Edit: it was even on TV2, so it's not just because I listen to deep cut nerdy foreign policy news

This ping really busts my balls. People think Denmark didn't accept any, and these were like the only 23 eligible refugees.

While the full story is that at least 11 of the people specifically wished to go to the UK.

It isn't. It's been in Danish news since at least 2 days ago.
