McCarthy's very pertinent questions on Afghanistan, what would Benji do?

 Kevvo is spot on in his questioning:

Not least: why wouldn't we keep a base there?

I would absolutely cede that worthless country to these tribal and useless nomadic druglords and just make my own country, Benjistan, taking the entire border with china and everything of Afghanistan west of that maybe 100 kilometers. I'd found one supercity there and fortify it so strong it could never be assailed. Then I'd burn every opium poppy to the ground with sky lasers. I'd have short bomb proof tunnels with x-ray to detect bombs and only let in prospective new citizens from Afghanistan via the tunnel, if they get homesick they can't come back for five years minimum if they leave. My city would totally kick ass and turn a profit. I mean if Alexander the great could found Kandahar, I'm pretty sure I could found Benjistan.

Just saying

Also as an aside, never liked Piers Morgan, never will. He's a typical Fleet street muckraker that has absolutely zero regard for people's privacy, same as all his lowlife peers there, only cares about making money and fame from spying on people's phone calls. It'd be interesting to see what adulteries and dirty secrets his privacy for others hating colleagues could dig up on him. I'm loath to use the word scumbag in this instance notwithstanding what I perceive to be his low moral standards and hypocrisy and stick with the term base rascal. If he respects the monarchy as an institution and wants to affirm it, (I personally would abolish it but still I respect it), he should stop referring to their right royal highnesses the Sussexes, as 'weasels'. And if they abdicate their royal offices completely it still wouldn't be appropriate to call them weasels.

Let's say I thought prince Andrew was guilty as sin and a rascal. I still wouldn't be calling him a weasel, and I wouldn't be dismissing Harry and his wife and giving Prince Andrew a pass. Prince Andrew is a big naughty boy and he knows this. The Sussexes are honorable people. Piers Morgan is a rank hypocrite and a dumpster trash scrupulater. 

Hurrah Benji has spoken. Exeunt all flourish of trumpets.
