Meet Bahadur. He came to London in 2003 from Kabul. A broadcast journalist on the front line in Afghanistan, he made the decision to leave after some of his colleagues 'disappeared', when the Government of the time took issue with their reportage. Listen to him describe the way in which constant war led to huge expansion in Kabul, how some Taliban policies have led to real pain for the population and how much he misses homegrown Afghan produce and food. A Black Cab driver here in London, he likes his job but being a father and grandfather, there's one associated element that causes him constant anxiety; the task of shepherding inebriated young Londoners.
