Pen Farthing, the owner of animal charity Nowzad who the Government controversially helped evacuate from Afghanistan last year, has said he is working on a documentary and book about the experience.
Farthing returned to England on a chartered plane carrying about 200 dogs and cats during the Taliban takeover last August. Downing Street denied that Boris and Carrie Johnson had intervened, despite claims that they were involved. “Nowzad’s name is still being used as a political football to deflect from the failings of the British withdrawal from Afghanistan,” Farthing wrote online. “Operation Ark was a success” he said.
