So the next conflict that the Brits are involved in, will they be "shocked" when the local populace does not collaborate with them? 
Not a very good message to send to the world.

Isn't that what happened to your translators in Vietnam?
Did many translators get shipped out of Iraq when your government pulled the troops out when they couldn't get Iran to give a decent SOFA deal?
It does seem like its par for the course to abandon the locals you recruit when the operation goes tits up.
