fellow-scribblers had written for today's newspapers. The latest trend in the UK is the Government offering £350-per
-month ($456) to take in a Ukrainian refugee.
The two Journos thought it was a grand idea until the moderator asked them if they would allow those fleeing the troubles
in Ukraine to live in their spare bedroom. Both of them flapped and dithered and then explained such undertaking requires a
knowledge in dealing with trauma. At the end they both declined.
