The discovery that one of the children admitted to the UK from the Calais Jungle turns out to be a 22 year old student from Kabul University, reinforces the lecture that the President of Afghanistan gave me, and about which I wrote in this column last week: Some of his people are bravely taking the fight to the Taliban, whilst others are giving up and running away.
The United Kingdom has sent many of its own sons and daughters to fight the Taliban. I asked the Home Secretary in the Commons last week, if she would bear the President’s words in mind, when deciding which priority cases are most deserving of our support.
