What a god-awful betrayal of these people. The ghouls in our government have absolutely no moral compass when it comes to the treatment of other seemingly dispensable human beings.
The next time British forces get involved overseas, and need help from the locals for interpreting etc, they will struggle, as the locals will see the way the Afghans were treated and go “Fuck off I’m not helping you”
The govt is so desperate to stop brown people coming here it’s abominable
I’m surprised we didn’t glass Saudi Arabia, that hellhole is the breeding ground for these indoctrinated cunts.
Poor show.. These people did not deserve to be abandoned to the wolves.
The whole thing was a clustefuck but the way we’ve just abandoned so many of these people to whatever fate their going to suffer is fucking shameful.
I bet you don’t
culture of the United Kingdom and their values sounds like something lifted right out of an imperial colony.
Didn’t read the article cos frankly I don’t have any sympathy for traitors. They sided with the invaders. That is what you get for supporting the colonisers.
That just sucks man, I feel so sorry for these people.
UK can never get rid of colonialism apparently.
It turns out that collaborating with your country’s invaders doesn’t always work out.
The next time we get involved in a conflict abroad this could come back and bite our armed forces.
In the scheme of things it’s incredibly few people and a negligible cost to take care of them.
But, Tories gotta Tory.
Too may UKipper Brexiteer arrivistes in the UK govt, the ERG is their version of Momentum only nothing like as bright.
They don’t treat anybody except their mates in an appropriate fashion.
Luckily they should be consigned to history in a couple of years time.
At the last election 53 percent of Brits voted for left of centre parties but that result was obscured by our First Pass The Post voting system, that number should sky rocket next time with so many people prepared to vote tactically to get the Tories out.
And when they come here in dinghies – they are economic migrants, because the only war where you can be a refugee is in Ukraine. Nothing to do with their skin colour of course.
After several years in Afghanistan as manager of locally employed contractors (LECs), and speaker of passable Dari, I’m very skeptical of stories like this. I found that there is something of a national trait amongst the Afghans to not help one’s self, expect others to help you out and act indignant when things inevitably don’t go go their way.
I was in Hamid Karzai International Airport until four days before the withdrawal and, equipped with a mobile phone managed to assist scores of Afghans, and their families get through the perimeter and onto a flight. Pretty much everything that could be done, in those awful circumstances was done and at great risk.
If you want to point the finger of blame at anyone, then look no further than that stupid old fool in the White House, Joe Biden. He ordered the withdrawal, and the Americans sneaked out of Bagram Airbase in the dead of night leaving everyone in the lurch.
A sentiment near-universally shared among collaborators when an occupying power withdraws in defeat and the puppet government they were shoring up collapses.
I am grimly amused to ponder how many people engaged in hand-wringing histrionics over this would consider ‘quisling’ a just term of opprobrium.

Said every government worker, ever!
They’re not exactly the best employers around…
