Far-left Labour MP Richard Burgon has backed calls for the UK to pay war reparations to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, echoing demands from socialist front group the Stop the War Coalition.

On Tuesday, the Labour MP for East Leeds, Richard Burgon, said there “is no military solution in Afghanistan”, adding that “the focus now should be on reparations and supporting refugees.”

“The crisis in Afghanistan is the result of 20 years of disastrous military intervention. Just as in Iraq & Libya, backing US-led invasions led to a huge loss of life,” the Secretary of the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs continued.

And now we see the true insurrection of the west - started from 9/11 and the hate America crowd that always supported the Taliban and Al Quaeda.

This would include the Democrats and Barack Hussein Obama

The left is the same in all countries. The left is the enemy. The left wants our republic overthrown.

No matter the nation, the left, as usual, continues to make complete Obamaholes of themselves. (And Obamahole says it all, not?)

The very next day, on 9/12, tv news types had no difficulty finding Ivy League brats who couldn’t bring themselves to say that the terrorists had been evil.

I support this MP being airlifted to Kabul and parachuted in, so he can begin negotiations. Open ended negotiations.

Anyone think he’d be up for such a solution?

Nah, didn’t think so.

A Labor MP walked into a bar.

Ouch!

While still rubbing his head from the hot he offered the bar reparations.

Give UK tax dollars to the Taliban? Wow.

This jerkoff would have been Justice Minister if Corbyn had been elected.

The war in 2001-2003 in Afghanistan was worldwide supported and was GOOD

They freed the afghani people from the Taliban. Women were able to be educated, people lived freely and people could LIVE

What screwed it up was

  1. The USA not going into Pakistan and killing Osama bin Laden in 2002 and destroying Paki nukes
  2. The USA getting involved in Gulf War 2 which led to the rise of the Islamic state

The USA should have gone in and left in 2004 and handed over control of Afghanistan to the UN
