skinz Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The interpreters helped British forces in order help their country, their countrymen and themselves, their elected government should give them secure homes and new identities if they at risk. Smithy. Don't you get tired of repeating yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Chaos Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Because we have to fight them with one hand tied behind our backs. A thousand tooled up Taliban fighters could amble by camp bastion and we wouldn't be able to take a single shot, just watch them walk past. Google the current rules of engagement, it's a joke. Anyway, we should let the interpreters in. They'll be classed as collaboraters and given a hard time just like any other conflict (particularly ww2) since the year dot. At least they speak English ! Good point,all of it.Especially my bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They're Afghanis, why should they be allowed in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The only answer is yes. However, I expect they'll go and live in an enclave and watch homeland/Islamic TV making no effort to integrate at all. As they must speak English to be an interpreter you are more than missing the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angos Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They're Afghanis, why should they be allowed in the UK? Yes, I was under the impression our troops stayed on to train Afghan troops who in turn would make Afghanistan a safer place to live. Our police can give witnesses new identities after they give evidence, so I'm sure the Afghans can do the same for these few interpreters and their families, its a big country with safe areas.
