“Insulting and frankly appalling”

The words in the title come from Sir Kier Starmer today in response to what Trump (draft dodger) said about Nato forces- “They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan… and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines.”

The response has been consistent and forthright from many Nato countries today, but it was a UK radio show that really showed how much his careless, and completely incorrect, words can have an effect on so many. To clarify, the UK lost 457 troops in Afghanistan and in total the allies lost 1,160 brave soldiers, none of whom used bone spurs as an excuse not to fight for their country.

Caller after caller today nailed the sentiment, the heartbreak words can cause and the overwhelming negative feeling so many of us have of this cowardly, spoilt, depraved individual.

The clips are only 2 mins or so in length, but be aware they are emotional!
