which brings us to august which was a particularly historic month which is why i've revived dead channel internet geography sorry internet historian to tell us all about it afghan is this about the dog or the blanket or the biscuit there's a country alright well on the NUMBER_TOKENth of august NUMBER_TOKEN the taliban was rolling through afghanistan like a biscuit rolling down a blanket after a NUMBER_TOKEN-year hiatus the taliban were tally unbanned and they were back in town the american military had withdrawn so there was little resistance within days they owned the face and how did they celebrate with selfies on social media of course posting holiday snaps look look i'm holding up the capitol building occupying the streets but also occupying the fairground occupying the bumper cars no girls allowed americans also left behind a bunch of gym equipment so the taliban occupied that too to show off their epic gains over the last NUMBER_TOKEN years now while most people were fleeing for their lives there was one british holidaymaker heading in the other direction kabul has fallen but the airfares are cheap as chips this man's name was lord miles or as us australians would say kilometers miles had taken a flight to kabul to do some sightseeing and maybe see some locals when are you joining taliban i don't know um wendy moore based jokes he would keep a vlog and report to NUMBER_TOKENchan with updates look i was walking around afghanistan with a pink phone cable so you know they tell you i want to kill like you know lgbt people right so if i was walking around this and i look like i do like baby and if anything went wrong technically on his credit card it says lord miles even though he's not really a lord in any sort of way but they will think that he's minor nobility and therefore valuable as ransom so worst case he ends up a high value hostage more likely to be treated to tea and afghan biscuits than concluding his vlog with a beheading on the surface he seemed to have a great time but as the taliban's grip on the country tightened the situation got spicier for miles so they just think they're gonna kill me so we just need to turn around the car we speed away and then everyone starts getting traffic we abandoned the car we started running and then eventually i buy i buy a burka i stick one on and it's really hot so people just think i'm a woman eventually he conceded that he needed to sneak a flight home from kabul airport and so he did and he even bought terrorism insurance before the trip so he got a bunch of his ticket money back
