Safety, security, society

“Our enemies have watches but we have time”, an Afghan Taliban quote related by Douglas Alexander

I declare that I am a reactionary

In a taxi listening to the driver

When my daughter is 12 she will go to Afghanistan or Pakistan or Dubai or Saudi

Maybe not Saudi, they think they are better than everyone

Their children have no respect.

Breathe

My nephew came when he was 12, he is always bringing trouble

Police is coming

His cousins back in Afghanistan are studying IT respect their father, and their elders

My nephew you cannot talk to

My nephew goes out at 9 and comes home at 3

I barely make the usual counter arguments, the Taliban et al.

I think about all the daughters

I think about all the daughters

Is it worse to have had a taste freedom?

Freedom my word

Respect his word

Breathe

We all ultimately want the same thing don’t we?

Safety, security, society

Breathe

A daughter’s choice

A daughter’s choice
