Abstract
The post-Brexit ructions keep coughing up amusing little titbits on both sides of the Channel and the North Sea but, really, who can freely indulge in schadenfreude over empty supermarket shelves and the prospect of a turkey-free Christmas while Afghanistan is going on? Sure, we Europeans can smack our lips at stories of the great McDonalds milkshake shortage in the UK or even, more seriously, a lack of blood sample bottles. But it’s tough to enjoy those little misfortunes while desperate Afghans are fleeing for their lives, which they had often risked in the first place to work with their American, UK and European allies.
