Afghanistan

[perrykneeham]

Looks like we're leaving another bunch of irredeemably muslim wankers to flounder in their own shite.

Could we do a reverse Wakanda and build a wall around it?

Enjoyed a reverse Wakanda in my time, masochist that I am.

"
A high-profile evacuation to the UK of Afghan female footballers fleeing the Taliban included a number of women who were not the top-tier players that it was claimed, a BBC investigation has been told.

Thirty-five women and their families - 130 people in total - were flown to the UK from Pakistan in November 2021.

Women footballers were seen to be at risk from the Taliban, and some feared they would be punished for participating in a sport the new regime viewed as un-Islamic.

They were granted visas by the Home Office. However, Newsnight has had access to the list of evacuees that was submitted to the British authorities in order to obtain entry to the UK.

While the names and other identity details are genuine, the description of the principal applicants as national players or members of a regional team - in some cases - appears to be false."

Send them all back. All of them. We don't need more liars and, as they and their families are not at risk from femifootophobia, they won't be in any particular peril back on the old country.

[mids]

Yeah, get rid. There should be consequences for these scum.

[perrykneeham]

Either they go back or they must be made to play football all day, every day, for the rest of their lives. And to support themselves financially by doing so. Them, and their families.

And the idiots that indulged this obvious scam.

[mids]

I bet that black football commentator, Gary Lineker, was involved somehow.

[perrykneeham]

Interesting that Australia claims to have taken the Afghan Women footballers. A bit or slight of hand, perhaps? Double bubble?

Perish the thought.

Also, stand by ..... "There is resentment among genuine players now living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, that others appear to have got out with false credentials."

[perrykneeham]

I see that those that stayed are still alive then. The Taleban didn't come for them after all.

Clearly safe to return, with their families.

[mids]

I wonder if any of this heroic dash for the border is true?

[perrykneeham]

It doesn't really matter now, does it? They've shown their true colours: liars and cheats who have taken advantage of our goodwill and been facilitated in doing so by credulous, brainless Guardianistas and dishonest, showboating lawyers.

[mids]

Might as well just send 'em all back while we're at it.

[perrykneeham]

Yeah, they were all party to the fraud.

Given the Taliban is waging war against the women of Afghanistan every single one of them should be allowed to stay.

All of them.

[perrykneeham]

Well, that's not really possible or desirable. We should just leave them to it. Maybe they can cut off the rations until the blokes start being a bit more reasonable.

Either way, I'm sorry that they belong to a crappy culture and live with shitheads, but what you gonna do?

[flatandy]

So, after all the “it’s only men coming here, if it was women we’d know they were real refugees” stuff, as soon as there are some women refugees we have “send them back to die”

[mids]

And of course, they should go back to effect change in their own country otherwise it will stay the same. It's the decent, humane thing to do.

And yet even the Guardian accepts that they're frauds. Not actually refugees.

[flatandy]

I think you're confused between lying about being elite footballers and fleeing persecution.

[perrykneeham]

Neither condition is correct.
