British-based men of Afghan origin are spending months at a time in Afghanistan fighting Nato forces before returning to the UK. They also send money to the Taliban.
A Taliban fighter in Dhani-Ghorri in northern Afghanistan last month told the Guardian, he lived most of the time in east London, but came to Afghanistan for three months of the year for combat.
"I work as a minicab driver," said the man, who has the rank of a mid-level Taliban commander. "I make good money there [in the UK], you know. But these people are my friends and my family and it's my duty to come to fight the jihad with them."
They're working as FUCKING MINI-CAB DRIVERS! What is wrong with this country? Are we so riddled with immigrants, we can't weed out Taliban fighters. Our troops are dying in that shithole for a gas pipeline and they're fighting insurgents with Birmingham accents. One even had an Aston Villa tattoo! Unbelievable!

You're right, DL. 'Unbelievable'
Yet why am I not in the least bit surprised ?
What's wrong with you DL? The Taliban have a right to make an honest living and feed their families. Would you rather they collected benefits? As the UK has a desperate need for minicab drivers it's a win win situation but you're too prejudiced to see that.
Har har fucking har.
Banned - The ones guilty of treason are Blair, the Labour Party and all those involved in the murder of our citizens at the London Bombings as an excuse for all this Iraq, Afghanistan "terrorism" garbage in the first place.
These are the people who are responsible for the murder of our troops - no one else!
Groompers, I don't know why we are amazed. This country has gone to hell in a hand cart and it's just getting worse as far as I can see.
Banned, I think it's about time the treason law was upheld so that these cunts could get hung, if the EU let's us.
McGonners, Why can't they be mini-cab drivers in Afghanistan for 9 months and then come over here and fight. They would do less damage.
Stanners, I don't have any problem with him protecting his friends and family from the British invading army, if the situation was reversed, I hope I would be doing the same. But, as you know the problem is why is he over here. I'm trying to find something light hearted to say, but my wife has told me we're going out Christmas shopping, so I'm afraid it's escaping me!
Billy, you're right there. They are dying for a gas pipeline from the Khasac gas fields, but I suppose that soldiers usually die for someone's political machinations. The only excuse IMO, to die for your country, in this day and age, is when it's under threat of invasion.
You ever been in one of London's mini-cabs?
These blokes have got to go back to the relative safety of a duck shoot in order to lower their stress levels.
Grief's cheap if its not your own, in the world of politics, conglomerates and their profits.
@Crinkly Arsed Phil... "You ever been in one of London's mini-cabs?
As an out-&-about kinda guy in the London of the 1980s-90s me and me rufty tufty punk rock mates knew better than to get into an unknown mini-cab. Dodgy as fuck even then when the dangers were their clapped out cars, crap radio stations and total lack of Londons "Knowledge".
Fuck knows why anyone would use them now that they probly want to chop your head off and put the vid of it on the fucking internet.
As then, if you don't want to get fucked by a 'mini-cab', use your local one, pay through the nose for a proper Black Cab or get another round in and fucking walk home, far safer.
(Not that I'm saying that pissed up girls who jump into the nearest "ahmed mini-cabs" Ford Vectra deserve to get raped, just don't do it, blokes too.
Crinkly arse, I only had the opportunity to get a mini-cab in London on a couple of occasions and as you say, it was, an experience!
There's a video of a US soldier shooting up a HP printer doing the rounds today and I would have to say if he's an example of the marksmanship in the Us army with a machine gun, it's no wonder the Taliban are winning. When they were fighting the Russians, they were freedom fighters, now there bastards. Funny that!
Banned, it might be worthwhile growing your hair long, getting a perm and one of those Jamaican hats, botox your lips and get a job on the mini-cabs, they must make good money if they can afford to take 3 months off!
* Vauxhall Vectra :(
Banned, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's the worst car I ever had! It blew up twice for timing belt faults before it had done 30,000. Good job, I didn't pay for it, well apart from 3 months lease.
I grew up driving Cavaliers and was well pissed off when friends told me what a pile of shite its replacment was; turned me into Mondeo Man.
Banned, I've had a couple of Mondeos and a fine car they are too. A bit too juicy on the fuel nowadays, unfortunately.
