Afghanistan -is leaving the right thing?

[Vinty]

We are witnessing the end of empires.
The Afghan has seen off the British a century ago, they have seen off the Russians and now they have kicked out the Yanks.
Any student of the psychology of war could have predicted it.
The centre of economic and cultural gravity is shifting from west to east.
Just hope when they eventually prevail, they will be kinder to us than we were to them.

 

[IT Minion]

IS THIS A JOKE?

Boris & co want everyone from HongKong to come round.
Apparently 20,000 Syrians have come in the last 7 years.
God knows how many Iraqis have come as well.
Iranians arrive by boat everyday.
And, now, he wants 25,000 Afghans to come ?

Don't worry, we won't actually take that many people. We won't even take the security teams who guarded our embassy. Apparently we subcontracted that out and so they'll be fine as the Taliban will view them as being outside IR35.

Lol.

 

[SirGalahad]

WOW. All of those expert epidemiologists are now suddenly expert military strategists . . . .

 

[SirGalahad]

This is how bad the Afghan Army was. A bunch of stoners.

 

[noseall]

Macron & Merkel think

The unilateral 'America First' decision making regards Afghanistan, only seeks to reinforce European leaders' concerns about protecting European nations.

Meanwhile, useless weak minded sycophant Boris continues to lick any boots put before him.

Where have you been the last century or so? Cue: rousing orchestral music

The group in the Afghan society that are going to suffer the most are the women, so I have a some sympathy for any females fleeing, but looking at the images of those getting onto the aircraft and it looks like 90+ percent young males. They are the ones who should be staying and fighting for what they believe instead of running away. They will be bringing their problems and their ideals here

That’s one thing Mrs Mottie keeps saying - where are the women, it seems to be all men trying to run away.

Funnily enough, that talk about the many millions turns out to be total crap...

But that's the way with scaremongerers...

"The government will work with international partners and other countries to resettle up to 20,000 Afghan refugees in the UK, Home Secretary Priti Patel has said.
A new scheme will see up to 5,000 Afghans eligible in the first year.
But Ms Patel told the BBC it will "take time" to set up the scheme and "we cannot deliver this on our own".

A mere token amount when compared with the hundreds of thousands of EU nationals who have left since brexit...

And I bet the Afghans will have a far harder working ethic than our indigenous benefit scroungers who won't work!

 

[ReganAndCarter]

I thought you had that covered? "No problem" shooting innocent women and children you said.

So you admit the 'refugees' swarming in are likely to be foot soldiers?

 

[Brigade77]

I can't understand how they're saying we'll take XX 00's first year & XX 000's over a period of time?

Surely the ones who are desperately fleeing can be here within the next few weeks?

Are we being set up to accept Afghan as the new cheap labour source, to pay for the pensions* of all those retired pratts with too much time on their hands???

* Which is by a long way the biggest burden on our welfare state.

To be fair they'll have to be vetted for obvious reasons...

Ironically that will be quite difficult given that western departments in Afghanistan have been destroying documents before the Saigon like exit...

Of course there will be the odd memory stick or database entry hanging around...

Which could of course be valuable, or embarrassing...

But given the history of Assange and Snowden, I doubt anyone will dare to make the secrets public!

 

[noseall]

So you admit

I can confirm that you stated you leant to shoot a rifle in the Czech Republic and that you'd have "no problem" shooting desperate women and children coming ashore in boats. Nails.

Swarms?
5000 this year (about a dozen a day) and 15k in the coming years. With nearly a million job vacancies we could do with the extra help.

Dumb Brexers.

No, I learnt to shoot at school. CZ just gives me the chance to hone my skills and use bigger/more interesting guns. Since we went soft in UK and the snowflakes are queasy about anything more poweful than a cap gun, it's good to be able to go to a more liberated country. Despite high gun ownership, it's one of the safest countries in the world.

Are you really so misguided that you think the spongers on the inflatables are coming here to wait tables and drive lorries?
