It must be for purely financial reasons that we’ve pulled out of Afghanistan, and understandably so in my opinion. I mean 1500 retired Gurkhas bleeding the treasury dry and living off the fat of the land with their £20 a month pensions, swanning around like Premiership footballers. There’s only so much the country can afford. I’ve even heard rumours that our lovely ‘dinghy diver’ guests might have to be downgraded to 3 star hotels and be given Samsung smartphones instead of IPads and iPhone 13s if we all don’t pull our socks up, work a bit harder and pay more tax soon.
And if I hear about even one of those moaning, entitled soldiers complain that the army barracks which our bearded, peaceloving tourists have kindly vacated for them, albeit slightly fire damaged and shit up the walls, I shall email my local Tory MP and sternly demand the immediate disbanding of the entire British Army.
Yours sincerely
Outraged from London.
