GUIDO FAWKES
The MoD team responsible for resettling Afghans in the UK under the various schemes launched and subsequently cancelled by the British government has seen a massive increase in its headcount since Labour took office. It is now costing millions…
The Defence Afghan Relocation and Resettlement (DARR) Directorate, which manages accommodation and more granular services for incomers under the ARAP and secret ARR schemes, had a total headcount of 101 on 30 June last year. Immediately after the election that figure jumped to 110 and it has since reached 178 as of August this year. Additional information obtained by the Guido FoI Unit has found the annual salary costs of the team have reached £8,449,240…
This comes after Sky News revealed over the weekend that “hundreds of Afghans who have been relocated to Britain under a multibillion-pound scheme to protect them from the Taliban have returned to Afghanistan for holidays and other trips” and threats to livelihood from the Taliban were exaggerated in order to gain residence in the UK. Extended families are often brough as well, requiring housing…
In the wake of the data leak scandal and subsequent secret relocation scheme Guido revealed in July that the government is spending half a million pounds every month on flight costs alone for Afghan relocations. Healey’s much-publicised decision to stop the schemes has not stopped the bills to the taxpayer…

Afghan asylum seekers ‘go home on holiday’
Ex-Armed Forces interpreter claims people are exploiting UK government scheme and that threat of Taliban is overstated
Afghans who have been relocated to Britain to protect them from the Taliban have returned to their home country on holiday, it has been claimed.
The Government has spent billions on a scheme to protect the asylum seekers from persecution in their home country after they supported British troops deployed there.
The alleged excursions back to Afghanistan have led to claims that the threat they face has been exaggerated.
A former interpreter, who served with British forces in Afghanistan before starting a new life in the UK, claimed that the Afghanistan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) had been exploited by Afghans.
The allegations were made after a data breach involving the details of over 18,000 soldiers and some of their family members involved in Afghanistan was revealed in July, when a super-injunction was lifted.
‘The only threat is unemployment’
The former interpreter, who requested anonymity, pointed to examples of alleged exploitation including fake Taliban letters, staged “torture” videos and false claims of Taliban attacks against asylum seekers and their relatives.
He claimed that some Afghans coming to the UK had already been granted asylum in other safe countries such as Denmark or Belgium, while others who were relocated only spent one or two days as interpreters with British forces.
He told Sky News: “The only threat is unemployment. We have witnessed … interpreters from various units, from SF [special forces] units… there are hundreds of them going in [to the UK], coming back.
“It made me disappointed because [British] people believed there was a high threat to the interpreters.”
The source also said that applicants were pushing to bring in large, extended families, including spouses and children, nieces and nephews, and second wives.
Under ARAP, an individual who is granted relocation is allowed to bring his or her spouse and any of their dependent children under the age of 18.
However, the former interpreter claimed that applicants were falsely saying their children were under the age of 18, despite being in their 20s.
The source claimed that examples of false evidence to strengthen an application included borrowing a neighbour’s gun and shooting a car to pretend the Taliban had done it, and videos of a man’s “wife” being beaten by the Taliban, only for it to be an unrelated video from the internet.
A different source alleged that the production of falsified threatening letters from the Taliban had led to thriving businesses in the country. He said it could cost between $1,000 (£740) and $1,500 (£1,110) to order a fake letter.
However, he claimed that the Taliban had cracked down on the practice.
