well thank god for Brexit
and I dont often say that

we dont know what is going on -
one city the 'elders' pleaded with the conventional army to go away and allow the Taliban in without killing everyone..... ho hum we wait and see what will happen

[Gromit]

The Afghan Government have suspended returns from the UK and from the EU. They are not accepting any returnees for 3 months. So there is very little we can do.

At the moment there is no new refugee crisis and no mass exodus to Turkey. He fear is there might be in future if the Taliban gain control of the country. Which they haven’t yet.

[Gromit]

// Denmark, Finland, and the United Kingdom have already halted deportation flights to Afghanistan at the government’s request. //


// Kabul claims that there are currently over 10,000 Afghans returning daily from Iran, where the coronavirus outbreak has been heavy, and that they therefore no longer have the resources to accept citizens returning from Europe as well. They are requesting that all European countries halt deportations. //

Another pro Brexit anti EU Express story debunked. It is gift that keeps on giving :-)

EU is hardly paradise, is that really what leavers felt entitled to?

[youngmafbog]

It's hardly surprising though is it? Many member states are sick of being dumped on and in some cases like Germany it has caused major problems in the small towns many were put.

and not exactly paradise eeva

a fren' was going medicins sans frontieres because he was mad and doing stuff in kabul. You sign in with your national group ( Belgian) so they can come and get you if there is a rush for the door

eating out - OK but people wander around your table with AK 47s

one of the staff said - - I told him not to go
and I said - know a lot then?
and he said - - I am afghani

Still obsessing about your ex, TTT?

Any of these countries now moaning, if they are part of the Schengen agreement, have only themselves to blame. The real tragedy of Afghanistan is the sheer waste of time, money and, most importantly, lives lost through the cavalier intervention of the US/UK. None of those responsible can ever have opened a history book. Afghanistan is bandit country and the Afghan tiger cannot be tamed. To think that it can be is folly in the extreme.

It's the UK where these migrants really want to get to not the E/U . Better benefits in the UK. Whilst E/U migration has stabilised to the U/K ,Non e/u immigration to the U.K has actually increased since Brexit. Boris claims its all under Control. But they are still arriving by the Boatload.

The problem is TheChair it is still our problem. Its only too easy to make their way to Calais and hop over the Channel.

But I guess with your left wing views that is a good thing.

[gulliver1]

The UK needs these Boat migrants now to replace the E/U Migrants .Who else is going to do the working class jobs that the Brits won't do.

[Gromit]

We could have made a difference in Afghanistan, but we were very ill prepared and didn’t know what was happening.
The Taliban fled and we were supposed to keep the peace. But we supported the Police who were owned by the warlords, so the public thought we were on the wrong side and attacked us. Soon we briefly united the country because everyone were fighting us.
So muddled was the command, that we assumed anyone shooting at us were taliban, when most of them weren’t.

didn't know you served there gromit!
