Two of the Afghan men evacuated from the Taliban-run country with their wives and children under the government’s generous refugee programme have called for extended families to be brought over as well, with one complaining that it was taking too long to get permanent accommodation.

Shams, a former communications officer who worked at the British embassy in Kabul, was brought over with his wife and six children and had been staying for over a month in a hotel in Buckinghamshire.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, Shams said that he appreciates the opportunity to be in the UK, but more should be done for his “colleagues and relatives… in hiding from the Taliban”.

Asked whether the UK owed it to his extended family and the rest of the embassy colleagues, Shams replied: “Yes.” Red the rest at breitbart.com.

  • Let’s coddle our future jihadists while Beijing Biden leaves Americans in Afghanistan. Ocommie’s Destroy America First plan is progressing quite well. Lock and load.

  • I can easily hear Biden’s response to this same question: “Sorry, but you’re not Hispanic and there’s no guarantee that you’ll vote Democrat, so you don’t get S – – T!”
