Again. As far as I understand it was a private charter flight paid for by donations. The animals went in the hold and the Taliban wouldn’t let the Afghanistan personnel and their families through. Had the government did what they were embarrassed into doing in the first place it’s quite possible that the Afghanistan personnel would have gotten out too.
“be nice”
Pen Farthing left expletive-laden message for Peter Quentin
Former Royal Marine used foul and abusive language as he sought a way out of Kabul for his animal sanctuary staff and 200 cats and dogswww.coventrytelegraph.net
As I said the guys a prick and actual human lives were almost certainly lost because of his ridiculous antics. This isn’t about Boris, it’s about the people trying to save lives in Afghanistan
It needed an OK from the government. Nothing more nothing less. Raab could have done it from his sun bed with a mobile phone. A few Afghans never got the opportunity to go in the hold because of the deliberate delay by the government, the flight didn’t stop anyone from getting on a flight. The only people that did that was the government. Given PF couldn’t get his people and family on this privately chartered plane I’m guessing that it was half empty, at least. Not sure how you’re not getting this. This flight hasn’t stopped anyone getting out of Afghanistan, had the government not been dicks this flight would have had many more people on it as it would have gone before the Taliban took control of access to the airport and more people would have gotten through. This should and could have been an opportunity to increase capacity getting out but that was scuppered by our government.
Hard to be nice in such a serious situation after you've been fucked about .
I'm all for him saving his animals , why not .
I'd save my dog over half the humans on this planet
Blame Biden, not pen farthing
I'm also going to guess you'd save your pets over Boris if given the chance
It’s scary. On the aircraft front I was reading something earlier that says that the actual number is less as numerous aircraft were used to escape with and sizeable numbers are already in neighbouring countries. There’s also the issue that the US had something like 60’000 contractors in there maintaining them and they’ve all left so the Taliban is unlikely to be able to use most of it as they won’t have the spares to maintain them or the personnel to do the work. Also wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a series of drone attacks once all American bodies are out in a couple of days on things like the Blackhawks and C130’s.
Think I read one got shot down crossing a border.
Read that too. Apparently the west has been tracking and satellite images show numerous US supplied Afghanistan aircraft parked up on airstrips of neighbouring countries.
Tries (but fails)
It's like when Johnson says 'we're working round getting clock'.
I don't know,but it does mean I can't get a blood test until 27th September...
Are they made of glass? There was an issue with vaccine vials as we'd closed the UK based factory that manufactured the glass and therefore had to import which meant being in competition with other countries. Could be something similar.
You lucky person. Did he exhude an air of authority and knowledge on the subject of education?
He came to check on the C02 monitors he’s promised but hasn’t actually managed to deliver so far….

Can’t see it myself. I guess it depends on how big his ego is and how stubborn he is.
Look at the replies to that tweet. There's already people in there defending them for breaking their manifesto promise.
I don't actually mind them putting up taxes to pay for services. Am not convinced they've picked the right tax to put up, however...
