Government screws up

[DoctorStrangelove]

Slow learners, those forgetting history are doomed to repeat it: The First Afghan War, The Second Afghan War, The Third Afghan War.

"We" finally sorted it out by stopping their mouths with gold which shut the feckers up for a while.

The Fourth Afghan War ended in much the same sort of way.

Reminds me of Bliar asking someone why the Iranians hated us so much: being ignorant of history.

What was the UK even doing in Afghanistan in the first place? Fight on "our behalf", but for what? What did they actually achieve for the UK? Maybe just to keep on the side of the USA perhaps...

Amazing how 30p Lee has been very quiet on this one, I mean it's got all the hallmarks of a good bit of Reform publicity - immigrants, payouts and coverups.

I wonder who all in the Tory party knew about the details of the super injunction. I suspect the Deputy Chairman would have known, if he bothered to do his job and wasn't just grifting and gobbing off.

Kemi didn't turn up for her security briefing in March when she would have been told.

The opposition are supposed to be the government in waiting...

[WTFH]

When will we get a government that represents British interests?

in case the likes of tazdevil gets hot under the collar about bloomin' immigrants.

you may say that. - I couldn't possiblt comment.

I'm not proud of the British government leaking their data so they could be killed.

Then hiding it for multiple years because they are too ashamed to tell our elective representatives someone they employ has screwed up.

Proud that the fought on our behalf and we gave them protection. Not proud that the government didn't have the guts to say what they'd done, in case the likes of tazdevil gets hot under the collar about bloomin' immigrants.

Seems fair. They fought on our behalf. Nothing to be ashamed of. Just around 30K each. One off payment. Makes you proud to be British when we stand by people who are on our side.

Britain has offered asylum secretly to nearly 24,000 Afghan soldiers and their families caught up in the most serious data breach in history, it can be revealed.

The leak, which can be reported following the lifting of a superinjunction, led the Government to earmark £7 billion to relocate Afghan refugees to the UK over five years, threatening to open up a new black hole in the nation’s finances.

Gotta love the Torygraph (or possibly the ReformGraph) for not getting that disabling Javascript gives full access to their squalid little rag.

Up to 100,000 Afghans, that's a lot of extra tax on us to fund the necessary handouts! It's wrong to be British but we get to pay through the nose every time When will we get a government that represents British interests?

[SueEllen]

then hides it from parliament with a super injunction.

Oh and it only costed us £7billion.

It started under Boris Johnson and Starmer is complicit as well.
