The former UK Royal Marine who evacuated 170 rescue dogs and cats from his animal shelter in Afghanistan said UK government didn’t help him to enter Kabul airport.

Paul Farthing, the ex-Marine who goes by the name Pen Farthing, arrived in London on Sunday with about 100 dogs and 70 cats on a privately-chartered plane after waging a media battle with the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) to get his flight cleared.
