Sheila Daly said that the Taliban would ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever’
But Ms Daly asked if council officials were prepared for the Afghans to begin ‘blowing us up’, a comment that drew audible gasps from others at the meeting.
She said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever’. The Government has pledged to resettle 20,000 Afghan refugees in the longer term, an effort that has been dismissed as ‘inadequate’ by pressure groups.
