THE SITUATION in Afghanistan has appalled us all.
One of our borough’s four MPs rightly raised concerns that the country once again become a breeding ground for terrorism which aims to destroy our way of life.
Theresa May knows what she is talking about. As well as a former Prime Minister, she was a long-serving home secretary with access to appropriate intelligence briefings.
She was taking part in an emergency debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday, where she wanted to know if British policy had been to “just think we had to follow the United States and on a wing and a prayer it would be all right on the night”.
There are no easy answers to the unfolding situation, but what is right is to make preparations to welcome Afghani community members who need a safe home here in the borough.
We applaud the borough council for ensuring it is ready – let’s do what we can to welcome our new neighbours.
