18 Answers
People being pulled from their houses and executed. Absolute chaos and heart breaking scenes at the airport.
Boris's comment, "Things are slightly improved today". As if he was talking about The weather.
The man is an imbecile.

Biden made a mess of it, as did the UK.
They had a year and a half to prepare but it seemed to catch them by surprise.
They seemed to believe they could leave and the Taliban would be slow to capitalise.
This is what they were saying 10 days ago.
// military experts predict that Kabul, the Afghan capital, may fall within 30 to 90 days. Some lawmakers are taking that prediction with a grain of salt, according to a congressional aide, although they say that the Taliban may be able to seize the heavily fortified city in six months to a year. //
For once I do not blame Johnson. He was badly let down by his colleagues, particularly Raab who should be sacked.
Our Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence have failed miserably. They knew 18 months ago that the US were leaving, but judging by the mess this week, they did nothing.

All through the pandemic and the continuing push to slow down global warning we have been told by people on this site that the governments should listen to the experts, they know best. On this occasion the American and UK listened to the experts and worked on the prediction that Kabul would be taken between 30 days and a year. Well, the experts got it totally wrong but as usual the governments get the blame, the usual ensued, damned whatever they do.
As i have said a million times before(stop exaggerating Myff),Britain should never involve itself in foreign wars.The first world war-the kaiser was never going to invade Britain,the second world war-Hitler was only ever wanting to defeat Stalins socialists.The Korean war-What The Funicular.We stayed out of Vietnam only thanks to Harold Wilson.The Iraq and Afghanistan adventures-British lives lost for no reason.Just stay out of future wars please Britain.
Planes, guns, night-vision goggles: The Taliban's new U.S.-made war chest. Can't see this improving anything in the near future.
