trastrick 866 #187 Posted September 1, 2021 This may clear it up for you all. WIKI: "A military disaster is the defeat of one side in a battle or war which results in the complete failure of the losing side to achieve their objectives. It often, but not always, involves a high and disproportionate loss of life. The causes are varied and include human error, inferior technology, logistical problems, underestimating the enemy, being outnumbered, and bad luck.[1][2][3][4]"` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M 1,625 #189 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) 'Operation Warm Welcome', the government’s Afghan resettlement programme, doesn't seem to be going that well. Some Afghanis who were resettled to the UK, after the Taliban took over their country, have begged to be allowed to go back home. The authorities have not registered them with local health services; one local council had no baby milk left; some 7,000 are in bed and breakfast temporary accommodation; sadly one little boy plunged to his death in Sheffield after his family were put in a hotel. Councillor Danny Thorpe of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, south-east London, said the lack of organised government support when 700 Afghans arrived in the borough in August was “unforgivable”. “This was one of the most shocking failures of government that I ever encountered,” he said. ‘Send us home,’ beg Afghan refugees stuck in UK hotels | Refugees | The Guardian Perhaps Boris could go around and tell them some bad taste jokes. That'd cheer them all up Edited October 9, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
crookesey 635 #190 Posted October 9, 2021 The French just stand back and waive them across, and to be honest I can’t blame them, best it happen over here than over there. The EU is playing with people’s lives, politics is a really awful thing, how much does it cost to treat people fairly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
