Blame Blair, not Boris, for Afghan crisis
DURING Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, Boris Johnson received criticism from all sides on the debacle of Afghanistan (“PM defendsAfghanistan exit”,August 19).
Not a word was uttered about the folly of Tony Blair and the former Labour Government who took us into the Afghanistan and Iraq wars in the first place.
Those wars spawned insurgencies right across the Middle East and in Africa and a tidal wave of refugees surging across Europe towards British shores.
If criticism should be levelled anywhere then it should be focused on those fools who started unwinnable wars in the first place and caused the chaos now being seen.
