Darren Grimes’ reaction to the Kabul Airport scenes was as bad as you’d expect
The situation in Afghanistan following the departure of US and UK troops, remains chaotic, and people have been making desperate attempts to leave the country.
On Monday, this shocking footage emerged.

Responses to the stark scenes were very much as you might expect.

Most reactions were like that. The Prince of Bad Takes, Darren Grimes, had a very different thought.
The response was almost universally on the same page – and not a page Mr Grimes would like.

This WAS his foreign policy, you simpering doofus. https://t.co/ro0Y6biSMI

Yeah Darren, it has nothing to do with Trump releasing the current Taliban leader and 5,000 taliban militants, without involving the Afghan people, and indeed against their wishes.
"Reasoned". By Darren Grimes.https://t.co/psE9q7J1lQ

Say what you want about Darren Grimes but his knowledge of Donald Trump’s policy to pull all US troops out of Afghanistan is quite disastrous. #craftywank https://t.co/GqtwATGNPn

Darren's mum has decided to let his room go to an Afghan refugee. She says he has to move into the loft and take his photograph of Mrs Thatcher and his box of kleenex. #craftywank https://t.co/MgV3IbzMhA

Darren is going to feel very silly when he sees the video of Donald Trump advocating the Taliban take over from the US Troops that are withdrawing following the deal he signed. https://t.co/wL61Yo1LEi

Prior to calling on Joe Biden to resign, this was what Donald Trump had to say about the withdrawal.
“I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn’t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.”
