Biden promising to get all Americans out. Dominic Raab on the phone to Lunn Poly trying to get a refund.

This lad among others trying to get out. Didn't make it.

Well he’s right in one respect, who isn’t more interested in football and music than work? I know I am

Poor sod. It's absolutely horrific.

Brilliant from David Squires as always.

I see the papers are publishing Tony fucking Blair's comments on this.

 

Never have the words "sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up" been more necessary.

Absolutely. Any leader in charge would have done the same (even Lib Dem’s who allowed them to be seen as anti war when they backed it) but yeah he needs to go and wallow in his ill gotten gains and fuck the fuck off

The notion that the Americans invaded Afghanistan to ensure they had decent running water is beyond parody.Especially considering they have almost entire cities of homeless in their own country.

Anyway an army fella on the radio before was saying the evacuation has been an utter shambles and the planning was abysmal. 

I was shocked aswell.

Good job nobody's ever said that, then.

Some ex marine and animal charity chap, based in Afghanistan, giving Boris Johnson a one man party political broadcast on BBC breakfast. 
 

We probably need to close a few threads that have been critical of our misrepresented leader.
 

Apparently the world needs to get behind the floppy haired hero as he attempts to defeat the enemy that is Joe Biden. 
 

Any reference to his role creating the fuck up in the first place should be forgotten as “we all need to get behind Boris, who’s doing amazing work”.

Can't say I'm privy to the finer points, but the bulk of our media coverage and logistical efforts appear to be focussed on a former royal marine who has an animal sanctuary in Afghanistan.

Who said that? I don’t remember anyone saying that.

The deference we show to senior military types in this country is embarrassing. There's a long line of talking heads on the news called things like 'retired General Sir Mike Goldpants III', spouting shite but with a peerage under their belts and a HUGE study in the background with biographies of Montgomery written by their equally pointless retired mates. People who've made an entire career out of being led around by the nose by the Americans.

Although an Islamic scholar on R4 yesterday said the Taliban are now good lads and all Muslims are celebrating their return.

Would have been interesting to see the reaction in the media here if the orange sex case was still in charge.. as he would presumably have done exactly the same.

No we invaded Afghanistan so schoolgirls could read Jane Austen books.
