I can see the odd one but these look mostly like blokes who should be defending their own country to me.

//The Foreign Officer quickly and efficiently spirited its Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Embassy and Consulate workers back to Blighty.//

That's odd because there was a report the Ambassador stayed to help sort out the Visas although in my opinion that is daft as it means yet another person the military need to protect.

//while leaving soldiers and Ministry of Defence staff to handle the fallout of the Taliban takeover.//

Well yes, the military are tooled up, th FO are not. Or are you expecting the FO to talk their way out of conflict with the Taliban?

Strike all you want me old China - it is an inconvenient true you do not want to hear.

// Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, has predicted “a reckoning” for Dominic Raab’s department when the immediate emergency is over.

Mr Wallace is reported to have protested that diplomats had been “on the first plane out”, while “18-year-old squaddies” were left to process visa applications in Kabul. //

And I still stick with what I said above.

The military are tooled up, especially in Afghanistan the Ambassador is not.

Do you want him given a MP5 and told to get on with it?
