I'm not altogether sure that a portion of "the Left" in the UK wouldn't rather have the Muslims, not for any conspiracy type reason but they're so reflexively wedded to anti-British/American/western European sentiment from being on the USSR's side during the Cold War that while not really a fan of Russia in Ukraine, feel that if NATO is against it then Putin must be doing something right.

It's very hard even for the usual olive branch brigade to suggest that Ukrainians have no right to defend themselves from entirely unprovoked aggression (especially when they're doing rather well at it)

@Guitarman123 I didn't actually dispute that, and I don't think even "hard" left British people object to Ukrainian refugees either. But there's definitely a contingent among them that - at the same time as being very welcoming - [u]also[/u] have sympathy with Putin's "NATO forced me to do to this", anti-Western argument
