Castrated Nation

The political class are unanimously convinced that we must continue to finance their exciting adventure in Afghanistan . We are always told the reasons for this are ,'not explained well enough', they feel badly about it , they often say so ... Au contraire say I , from the Pakistan domino theory, to bewilderingly inconsequential statistics about Afghani female education, they do a magnificent and incessant job . Its almost as if someone had something to hide , there is so much explaining .
The most confusing reason for rushing around a desert shooting people, is that otherwise we will be blown up by Muslims ( they say). This might explain occupying Yorkshire or Islington,given the provenance of our home brewed bombers , or , not letting so many in in the first place. …but Afghanistan .? I just worry that people will suspect that Politicians just prefer strutting around on the world stage at our expense to getting our rubbish collected. Lucky we know exactly how high minded they are isn`t it .
Those thinking of supporting nice Mr. Cameron have been accused of being autistic and castrated by the French Europe Minster . Apparently our wish for self determination will inconvenience the tribes of scribblers we employ , which is terribly inconsiderate , A little crestfallen the Nation kicks a can thoughtfully along the gutter and starts coming to terms with its irrelevance… after all even the US only cares about us if we do as we are told by the Germans ( they say). Still castrated though we may be, we keep buggering on and considering our lowly status we are lucky we were allowed to join in the fightiong at all .Naturally other more important countries have done far more ..
Troops in Afghanistan -United States - 68,000 ,UK 9500 ,Germany 3380 ,France 3070 ,Italy - 2,795 ,Netherlands 2600 ,Poland 2030 ,Spain - 1,000 etc. Oh dear , that’s strange and spending is also perlexing . US equipment spend in Afghanistan for 2009 is £463,000 for each soldier. For Britain's 9,000 troops in Helmand the Afghan-specific equipment spend equates to just £288,889 per head. For Canadian troops fighting in Kandahar province, the spend is equivalent to £507,539 per soldier .Now lets ets have a look at the butchers bill..Dead Soldiers- Britain 230 ,Denmark with 28 ( worst kill ratio) ,Holland 41 ,France 36 ,Germany 36 Italy 22 ,Poland 14 Etc. ...I suppose its just a good job we are not an important country with international obligations we take seriously like our European betters . Best to let them get on with it I think . Thats enough , bring the troops home
