Failing that shoot the bastards
A tad harsh I feel. Doncaster Social Services may be somewhat detached from reality, but shooting them seems a bit OTT to me.

It wouldn't if you'd ever been there.

Gainesy, given that the RAF used to send its Untermensch to Finningl-eh (near Donn-eh) to be trained to occupy small holes in large aeroplanes, 'tis hardly surprising that Doncaster Social Services are a pretty busy bunch - because unfortunately some of the Untermensch managed to mate with a few 'Donn-eh' females, resulting in a significantly diluted gene pool for the Scargill Republic of South Yorkshire.

Through no fault of the females, of course, save that of having insufficent taste to reject the notion of mating with half-wing half-brains.......

Didn't you do a MEXO at

Finningl-eh (near Donn-eh)
prior to your extended stint at HMP Carterton?

Or did even the

'Donn-eh' females
reject you!

Nope, I didn't do a MEXO.

Just a couple of weeks or so wasting time on an MER course. Went into that awful place Donn-eh once (fortunately during daylight whilst the local alleged-females were still snoring in their lairs) - then escaped asap!

If I read the OP correctly, it was the British Interpreter and not the SFSG guy who did the deed.

Be interesting if the scenario was reversed and the Taliban were 'interviewing' security forces person . . .

There would, of course, be no threats or coercion . . . much

Article from the "Taliban Times"

Officers from the Sharia Enforcement Branch are investigating reports of inhumane treatment of Prisoners of War, Women wearing make up, children going to school and suspected informants. Allegedly, before the universal ritual Allah Wu Akhbar throat cutting and / or shooting, some Taliban miscreants have been shouting, yes, shouting at captives in a cruel attempt to glean information from them. Abdul Al Sikkin Al Quebir, the Taliban spokesperson denied this vehemently stating that such behaviour was forbidden by the Koran.

Also, rumours of widespread Western Special Forces infiltration of the Taliban has been derided as propaganda. Taliban Times interviewed several of our brave fighters, Khalid Abdullah, Abdsul Mohsin, Abdul Karim, Chalky, Kevin, Bubbah and Ahmed Al Tariq to seek their views.
