KANDAHAR has fallen to the Taliban.

I hear the Governor has surrendered. Security forces have withdrawn to the airport.

This is a rout.
Herat likely to fall soon.

I imagine a lot of countries are now close to implementing their NEO contingency plans.

There are also rumours from Kabul of a ‘ceasefire’ deal. Which makes little sense. But Imran Khan has been in Kabul.
There will now be mass torture & executions of all those that supported the Govt. in Kandahar.

Meanwhile Helmand prison in Lashkargah has been taken.

How can Ghani survive this? Surely someone with an ounce of fighting spirit & leadership is needed.
People should be under no illusions. A group of villagers called the ‘Taliban’ did not implement a strategic plan across the country to rout the Afghan military. This has been devised & resourced in Pakistan.
This is no different from Putin’s invasion of Crimea.

My Grandad died this afternoon.

We could not visit him because of the virus

If you’re cracking on as normal, you will soon understand how serious this is when friend or family goes to hospital

You may never see them again.

Don’t be a prick, we are at war. Don’t socialise
1. Thank you for so many kind messages. I’m very sad, but feel that now is the time to come together. I’m so sorry for the division that Brexit & politics has sown in our society. I’m touched by the lovely messages from people from across the political spectrum. Britain...
2. Come together. There is more that unites us than divides us. The Govt is doing it’s best. It will make mistakes, but they are grafting, like our brilliant NHS & so many others. This isn’t about left & right, brexit or remain. This is about common decency
