Wise cracks aside, I believe we do need a re-think.

France seems to have adopted a more independent approach, certainly as far as Afghanistan goes. It began evacuating Afghans working for its embassy and other French organisations in May; months before the Taliban regained power.

France was accused of being overly pessimistic about the impact Biden’s announcement of a full US military withdrawal by September would have on the ground. By contrast, the UK has bound itself tightly to the actions of the US leading to the panicked evacuations we've witnessed.

https://www.itv.com/news/2021-08-31/...-not-a-holiday
Quote:
Boris Johnson is "away" with his family in England's West Country, Number 10 has revealed, but his spokesman insisted the prime minister is not on holiday.

The PM headed off for a four-day break away from Downing Street on Sunday, after the final British troops left Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

But Downing Street insisted the PM was "continuing to work" as Britons and Afghans remained stranded after the withdrawal of forces from Kabul.

His spokesman refused to say Mr Johnson's time away amounted to a holiday in the face of repeated questioning from journalists at Monday's behind-closed-doors media briefing.
:rolleyes:

Spokesman’s statement
Quote:
The Prime Minister is away for the next two days in the west of England but is continuing to work and will be back in the office in Downing Street on Thursday.

“He left on Sunday, I believe.”

Asked if the trip was a holiday, he said: “He is away, as I say, out of the office for a couple of days but he is working.”

Is it government or civil service at fault? Or both? I doubt ministers process documents etc, it's the civil servants. So unless something major needs actioning in which case I'm sure he will be contactable the day to day running will still happen.

(a minor detail, except being from different countries /speaking different languages (Urdu (if they did, as they were all born/brought up in the UK (except for one who spent his first year in Jamaica))/it happening in a different year (2005), and the bombers all having short beards).

You're only interested in tripping me up. Whether the person in question is mumbling in Urdu or Arabic (and prolly holding a copy of the Koran in his hand - I've seen it myself) is of little importance. To go over it again with greater clarity:

1. A person with a backpack on the Underground etc;

2. That person being bearded and evidently Pakistani, Arabic or some other Muslim affiliated origin;

3 That person mumbling something that might be in Arabic or Urdu.

Everyone else in this thread will have understood the minimum words I used to describe the issue. To remind, I said:

'It is entirely right for us to be extremely suspicious [of the Taliban] and go on what evidence we've got," General Nick Carter said.

"But again, we would be silly, I think, if we didn't give them a chance".

The military chief said the Taliban, who regained control of Afghanistan in less than a month after Western forces left, should be given "a bit of space to see whether or not they're going to govern in a less repressive, more reasonable, and more inclusive way".

He added: "It may be that they will."

The Taliban have banned hairdressers in Afghanistan's Helmand province from shaving or trimming beards, saying it breaches their interpretation of Islamic law.

Anyone violating the rule will be punished, Taliban religious police say.

Some barbers in the capital Kabul have said they also received similar orders.

The instructions suggest a return to the strict rulings of the group's past tenure in power, despite promises of a milder form of government.
If they ban everything how are they going to make money/living and keep everyone out of poverty?

There's no ideal solution to the current crisis. Without aid they will probably leave the country in greater numbers than they are already doing and end up in refugee camps in neighbouring countries and doubtless people will be unhappy too when some then cross the channel into England.

There were some interesting testimonies shared recently about Afghanistan from US generals. They said that keeping just 2,500 troops on the ground would have prevented the collapse of the government.

I'm sure the UK and its remaining allies wouldn't find this a prohibitive number.
Quote:
Two top US military officials said they believed that a few thousand troops should have remained in Afghanistan and acknowledged other tactical and intelligence failings during the chaotic withdrawal of armed forces from the country.

During testimony before the Senate armed services committee on Tuesday, Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and Frank McKenzie, US commander of troops in the region, both made clear their personal views were at odds with the decision President Joe Biden took to withdraw all troops by his September 11 deadline.

“My view is that 2,500 was an appropriate number to remain, and if we went below that number in fact we would probably witness a collapse in the Afghan government and in the Afghan military,” McKenzie said in testimony, in comments echoed by Milley.
