Afghan Interpreters etc.,

Post by raptor9 » Sat Aug 07, 2021 9:22 am

Delighted to see on Sky News that we have had the good sense to extricate all the Interpreters and their family's that worked for us during the conflict. They are now in this country. They would have been tracked down by the Taliban and killed in the increasing conflict there now. How nice that we live in a caring country!.

Absolutely the right thing to do, at least it's one thing this government has got right.. :thumb:
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Fine as far as it goes. However some lost their jobs for such misdemeanours as refusing to clean toilets and are still there in fear of their lives. A defence minister is said to be looking into each case individually which is the right thing to do.

What a mess this is turning into already since the troops pulled out!
