Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

What are people’s thoughts on this guy and his actions and attitude?

Do you think he has been wasting people’s time, diverting the attention and time of those trying to save other lives when they are working on getting troops back home from a very volatile and dangerous situation / area within a limited time frame, or do you think the he was right to want to take the doggies back to the UK? (Feel free to take a guess on my thoughts)

What did he do wrong?

Re: Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

If he sent me that message he would be staying in Afghanistan, he seems to have a sense of entitlement over everyone else, I suppose all we will hear about on the news now is this idiot whinging about dogs.

What I think about this man is unprintable.

Re: Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

Of course he and his staff should have been rescued, but I’m afraid the dogs are not a priority at all and no effort or expense should have been wasted on them.

Why should his Afghan staff have been rescued?

Re: Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

He wanted to get the animals AND his staff on the private charter plane. The Taliban only allowed him and the animals.

Apparently, many years ago, you were only allowed to take two . . .

Never heard of him, but reading that report i would have left him to rot.

Re: Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

I am in total agreement.

Re: Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing and Operation Ark
 

Don't think I'm a fan, he seems quite unpleasant
