Afghans Flight

Posted by Sheila on 16/7/2025, 9:33 am

I read a few years ago about the plight of Afghans who had worked as interpreters for the British Forces. I know they needed help. I read it was taking time as they all had to be vetted, some were refused as not being who they said they were. Now we read names were accidentally published putting their lives in danger. So they have been brought to the UK in secret I believe since 2022. Still arriving to date. It’s just not good that governments past and present have tried to keep it a secret. A £7 Billion pound secret.

Sheila, apparently sex offenders, who had previously been rejected as undesirables, but now these sex offenders have been granted the right to live in the UK, how long before they rape or sexually assault again.

The cost of keeping asylum seekers and benefit claimants, over 1 million foreign nationals claiming benefits and keeps on rising, one day, in the not distant future, we will wake up and there will be nothing left in the coffers for the rest of us, god help,us.

Liz, unfortunately you are correct, they now don’t have time to check. I think they are only now telling us as the newspapers have had the embargo lifted.

It was OK for us to allow Afghan people who'd helped our Military come here for safety, but there wasnt four and a half thousand of them.
Under normal circumstances after a war they'd want to return home, but with the Taliban still in control that cant happen.
What a situation this is

Most of those Afghans will be on benefits & costing the UK tax payers a fortune & like Liz said, they will eventually empty the coffers that are there for us British people .
What can be done about this?

Has anyone ever wondered about the number of supposed Afghans who helped British personnel in Afghanistan, to my mind there seems to be a hell of a lot, were there 10 afghans helping each military person in Afghanistan, I do feel that some clarification is needed?

They were doing checks a few years ago and some were proved as not being truthful , now it’s just open doors for them all. I wonder who “ accidentally “ leaked the list. Unfortunately, civil servants today are different to years ago. No rigorous checks anymore, except for higher grades.

The person who leaked the information has not been sacked just moved to another position, only in the Civil Service would this be allowed to happen, employees are never accountable anymore.
