Well this was always going to happen wasn't it. Where did people think the services and facilities for these people would come from? Did they imagine Bob Geldof, his uber rich chums and the great and the good would be laying them on? Did they think the influx would have no impact on the hugely overstretched social/educational/health services struggling to cope with our own vulnerable and needy? Did they think extra child fostering/care services would be conjured out of thin air? It's all too easy for those who aren't at the sharp end to be generous of spirit when they're usually not the ones who're going to suffer the impact...
