Raab exposed again and possibly "taking one for the team" in front of an investigative parliamentary committee?
Note the French govt began evacuating its local Afghan staff on 10 May 2021, incl cooks, drivers and cleaners. The aim was to only have French staff remaining by July, and indeed a final evacuation flight for non-essential staff took off on 17 July when the Taliban already controlled large parts of the country, four weeks before the fall of Kabul (ref Politico reports).
Where was the equivalent evacuation plan for the UK? IMO the failure of the Brit govt to act sooner is criminally incompetent in light of the Taliban's previous murderous behaviour to those suspected of aiding their enemies in killing many of their members. What were the UK's military, diplomatic and security advisors telling the government and when?
There are fools in charge of the UK whom we have to suffer time n again, but nothing like the suffering any abandoned Afghan allies will experience.
