It's women with children that are being sent across the border to Poland first because of the vast numbers involved and the harsh weather. I didn't say that I agree with it or not mate, I'm just telling you that's why they are doing it ! It's in the Polish border guards hands not mine

And the Ukrainians. I've seen a black girl a student, being thrown off a train and a white girl given her place. Have also heard claims black students have been shot at by Ukrainian police or military. The Ukrainians have a big processing centre close to the Polish border at the least where everyone leaving is checked. Processing of non- Ukrainian passport holders is reportedly taking a long time.

He certainly has BR. From the Independant

Boris Johnson has invoked some of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic stereotypes in a book he wrote when he was a Conservative shadow minister. He describes “Jewish oligarchs” who run the media, and fiddle the figures to fix elections in their favour. He portrays a Jewish character, Sammy Katz, with a “proud nose and curly hair”, and paints him as a malevolent, stingy, snake-like Jewish businessman who exploits immigrant workers for profit. There is nothing subtle about this. We know what antisemitism looks like. Johnson has form when it comes to anti-Jewish hatred. As editor of the Spectator he chose to publish articles in which the notorious racist Taki Theodoracopulos boasted of being “an antisemite”, argued black people “have lower IQs than whites” and praised Enoch Powell as a “great man”. Johnson defended Theodoracopulos, calling him a “distinguished columnist”.
Johnson’s contempt for minorities, women, LGBT+ and working-class people is well known, so it’s not surprising this extends to Jews. We share the pain that many feel about antisemitism on the left and we will continue to hold the Labour party to account. But we wholly reject Boris Johnson’s cynical attempts to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns to distract from his own disgraceful bigotry.

Yet it was Labour that was investigated by the EHRC, Labour whose MP's resigned because of antisemitic threats to them, a Labour Jewish MP that needed police protection at the Labour Party conference.

Boris is a typical journalist and spouts off about everything. The acid test is whether there are many senior Jewish MP's in the Tory party. There are.

I think it was the bit she said about any Brit wanting to go fight in the Ukraine was welcome to do so. The Defence Secretary contradicted her said it was not advisable. Other Countries have since said the same as Truss.

You’d be a mug to leave. Chances are they’d find a way to stop you being allowed back in.

Ffs. Or it was some other strongly worded statement that mirrored what other leading politicians in the west have been saying.

It's propaganda.
