They’re fine with barbarism but not OK with barbering

I’M NOT going to moan about the Yanks any more, though Biden’s decision to pull out of Afghanistan was one of the cruellest things a man in his position could do, particularly when the old fool went on television and told the world, “the war in Afghanistan is over”.

It’s never been over. America, Britain and other nations were policing the country so that people could genuinely have a normal and decent life.

Now the Taliban are in charge and, by the way, they didn’t defeat the West as they are saying. The forces for good left and it was the biggest political mistake in recent history.

The Taliban haven’t changed. I don’t suppose nutcases with ridiculous religious views will ever change and I see now that barbershops have been banned.

Apparently their God doesn’t like men shaving. In the 21st century, have we not moved on from this sort of thing?

They really do want to go back to the Stone Age, don’t they?

CAN somebody please give John Bercow his own TV show, or include him in the next reality TV – anything so that his overwhelming desire for celebrity status can be achieved.

I feel so sorry for this little man with a big ego. He’s failed in politics and now he seems to be losing his grip on the thing he most enjoyed about being Speaker – the public recognition.

Honestly, appearing at a fringe meeting of the Labour party, addressing the crowd as “comrades” and spending 15 minutes having selfies taken was just desperate.

They could sneak him into I’m A Celebrity, bring back Big Brother (or Little Brother in his case), or he might even make Strictly more watchable if they parachuted him in as a late replacement.

There must be some way we can help this poor little chap achieve his goal.
