This is what happens when a bunch of sycophantic tossers get the top jobs for kissing breixt butt

From the Sunday Times today


Absolute dereliction that should of course see him resign, but they don't do that anymore do they, since we are lost to a generation of arseholes incapable of gravitas or integrity. The fact they did nothing for six months as the drawdown date neared just reinforces the fact that they could not give a shit about brown people half a world away, irrespective of how they may have supported during the occupation. In fact if one was being cynical one might suggest that this is not callous indifference, it a calculated plan to keep Afghans who are entitled to settled status, in Afghanistan, being unable to take up that opportunity cause bordering countries won't play, because no-one has asked them too...

Brexit Britain really does not like brown people and they really hate refugees, after all.

Although as an aside, interesting to see number 10 briefing against him... hhhhmmmmm

Things that I recall being a main point made at the time. And this is a theme throughout their conqueror history, actually. Brown and black people are somehow lesser to them. This is the most recent manifestation of their imperialist belief system. It seems they have found themselves in a state where they are retreating into an isolationist population while still going off to war whenever we do.

I'm hoping for a global shift in understanding soon. I suspect climate disasters, earthquakes, volcanoes and pandemics will force us to address these issues at some point.
