I had to use two charts because Germany hosted so many refugees after in the early 1990s that it made the reading the remaining data not possible because of the scale of the axis.

The Germans admitted so many asylum seekers in the early 1990s that I have had to reproduce the graph without Germany so some meaningful interpretation can be made of the three other countries.

The British started to admit a great many more refugees at the end of the 1990s compared to the already large number admitted at the beginning. Italy is only started offering shelter to a significant number of asylum seekers since the end of the 1990s. The French have been pretty consistently admitting reasonable numbers of asylum seekers and adjusting their quota upwards in a crisis.

Sweden took in so many asylum seekers in the early 1990s that I am reproducing the graph for the period after to give the data more meaning. Swedish generosity so dominates the rest of Scandinavia that it distorts any reading of the graph unless it is split into two.

When notoriously insular Japan and South Korea overtake New Zealand as a refuge for asylum seekers, the Left of New Zealand politics, which loves to lecture the rest of the world on peace and human rights, clearly dropped the ball as the self-appointed consciences of the nation. Being a nuclear free New Zealand is not a passport to moral superiority in the 21st century.

The last time a large number of refugees were admitted to New Zealand was under the 1990s National Party government.

I support the Kurdish army because they are about the only faction in Syria that are quite clearly fighting to be left alone and will not harm anybody else as long as they are left alone.
@jeremycorbyn was von Stauffenberg’s plot to assassinate Hitler a near tragedy?
