YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Almost 7,000 Afghan nationals are being relocated to the UK following a massive data breach by the British military that the government tried to keep secret with a super injunction.

The blunder exposed the personal information of close to 20,000 individuals, endangering them and their families.

The UK only informed everyone on Tuesday - three and a half years after their data was compromised.

The Ministry of Defence said the relocation costs alone will be around £850m. An internal government document from February this year said the cost could rise to £7bn, but an MOD spokesperson said that this was an outdated figure.
