Afghanistan: Pen Farthing sorry for foul-mouthed message to aide

Foreign Office minister James Cleverly also said on Monday that the government had prioritised the evacuation of people over pets.

"As one interpreter asked me a few days ago 'why is my five-year-old worth less than your dog?'," the Conservative MP added.Mr Farthing also dismissed claims that he was helped into Kabul airport by the UK government. Mr Farthing added he was the only person on the flight but he was told there was "enough capacity" to get the remaining people in the airport out."Americans, the British, had obviously stopped taking people in because there had to be a point where they stopped taking people in.Dr Iain McGill, was a vet on the plane back to the UK with Mr Farthing.

He added that Mr Farthing was "very concerned for his staff and for all the other people suffering in Afghanistan".

Animals safe but 1,000’s left in danger ⚠️

I was hoping now they are back you would stop reporting his every word, at least him his wife and the dogs are ok, weird really I thought he wasn’t leaving without his staff.

I'd have left him and his animals. Insisting in being rescued and putting people's lives at risk. Toss pot.

Why Is He Sorry? He and The Animals Were Lifted Out - His Staff Weren't! The Western Democracies NEED Some Foul-Mouthed Messages From People On The Ground! Afghanistan NEEDS To Be Starved Of AID And Anything Else! The Taliban Are Now Going To Run The Country!

I’m sorry I was unmasked as a nasty sycophant…

Whole load of Pearl clutching like MP’s don’t sweat, or name call, or steal, or take drugs, or break laws…

No need to apologise Pen. My language would’ve been much worse if I was in his position!

Dopey plank. 🙄

Why? He was honest!

Nothing to apologise for

It’s understandable that he would be stressed and lose his temper. At least he said sorry.

Love the way this guy plays the BBC. A perfect paparazzi outlet for his anti UK rhetoric. But that’s not surprising, they have lost the art of journalism in favour of sensationalism. Try chatting to some of his former colleagues. Think you will be rather surprised.

This is Pen Farthing who said he wouldn't come out unless he could bring the animals and his staff; then left his staff. You can see why people in the area have such a bad opinion of the British who prioritise animals over people.

Interpreters left behind. To face death or torture. Do the white elite at the BBC share the view that animals are more important than Afghanistan people.

I do hope these animals didn't take places from humans I am incensed that animals were evacuated

Nothing to apologise for, he SHOULD destroy that no-mark

A plane full of cats & dogs while people are being murdered on the street. I love pets like the next person but I can’t balance this bizarre fiasco. It’s as ridiculous as giving animals medals. Feel free to shout, rant & throw in facts to elevate your conscience.. line crossed.

dont be

Sorry that other people heard it, not sorry he said it
