After Russia and Germany, now is it the UK?

Another day, another hellish move. You would think after two decades of war, we would at least know who the enemy is. But apparently, the line between ally and adversary depends on who made the spreadsheet.

Taliban Fighters Secretly Airlifted to UK After Major Data Leak: Report

Taliban fighters ‘brought to Britain’ in airlift after data leak

Let’s call a spade a spade: the UK government just airlifted Taliban-linked individuals, some with blood on their hands and sexual assault records, into Britain, while thousands of women, girls, and loyal allies who risked everything for democracy remain trapped. In what world is that okay?

Let’s not forget: the Taliban's Supreme Leader has an ICC arrest warrant for gender persecution. That's not a metaphor. That's a literal crime against humanity. And still, the women and girls suffering under this regime are not seen as urgent enough. Not prioritized. Not even protected. Why? Because they don’t vote in the UK? Because they’re “out of sight”? Or maybe because women's suffering has always been the fine print of international policy, acknowledged only when it's politically fashionable.

Is Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) so negligible for men in power that it is a miniscule like issue? Probably yes when it doesn’t cost them votes, money, or geopolitical leverage. This isn't an oversight. It's a choice. When you repeatedly abandon the vulnerable and protect the powerful, it stops being an accident. The situation here isn’t just another bureaucratic blunder; it’s a jaw-dropping indictment of selective compassion, elite-level incompetence, and the global shrug-off of VAWG, especially when it’s not politically or economically “convenient” to care.

This is the kind of statecraft that cares more about not being sued for data breaches than about keeping promises to its allies. The secret airlift, the super-injunction, the lack of vetting, and now this belated PR clean-up, it reeks of institutional cover-up over moral clarity.

Meanwhile, Afghan girls; barred from schools, barred from employment, erased from public life; are not just being neglected; they’re being knowingly deprioritized. The UK, after Russia’s recognition and Germany’s soft de facto pseudo-legitimacy… it’s a worrying pattern. Western countries will talk big about women’s rights when it suits them, but when it's time to act, they lean on excuses, red tape, or worse, distraction.

So let’s ask the obvious:

How does a government criminalize asylum seekers crossing the Channel but secretly resettle extremists because of its own security failures?

What does it say about a nation's priorities when it airlifts
war criminals and sex offenders while leaving behind those
who fought with them, especially women who now live
under threat daily?

Let’s remember one thing while we ask these questions: this isn’t cultural difference; it’s systematic oppression sanctioned by a regime whose leader is being pursued for crimes against women. And the world is playing diplomatic footsie with them.

And if this isn’t disturbing enough, let’s look at what’s happening to Peter and Barbie Reynolds: Shackled, malnourished and suffering convulsions: son of UK couple imprisoned in Afghanistan warns situation ‘escalating’ and they could die

An 80-year-old British man, shackled, malnourished, and convulsing on the floor of an Afghan prison, alongside his 75-year-old wife, who has reportedly turned blue from starvation. The couple, who have lived in Afghanistan for over 18 years and dedicated their lives to education and training, even earning Taliban recognition for their humanitarian work, are now languishing in degrading conditions, without charge, with the UN warning they may soon die.

The British government? Silent. Officials visited. There’s no movement. No urgency. No accountability.

Peter and Barbie Reynolds stayed behind when others fled, because, in their own words, “How could we possibly leave these people we love in their darkest hour?” And now, while men with extremist ties are quietly settled into British towns, this elderly couple, beloved by generations of Afghans, is left to suffer in the dark.

How can a government airlift Taliban-linked men… and abandon people like this?

Civil servants, interpreters, activists, and women’s rights defenders are stranded in limbo. They watched their sisters burn their degrees, bury their dreams, and now they’re told to wait. Again. Wait while the men who persecuted them start fresh in a country that once promised protection, while Taliban-linked men eat breakfast in British towns. That should haunt every Parliament seat.
