Doing the audio for the intro to #OpArkTheAudioBook was actually really hard work 😢 but super proud of the end result by @ClaretPress #operationark #nowzad #AudioBook
Audiofile highly recommended the audiobook of Operation Ark by Pen Farthing, calling it "heartrending" and "a positive energy that maintains the listener's engagement." @PenFarthing @Nowzad

27th August 2021 Staff decide I go back to airport whilst the @Nowzad staff go over land to Pakistan as per the directive of @BenWallace70 🤔 @TomTugendhat on @LBC radio lied that UK troops had been used to carry dogs into the airport. They did NOT. But the lie stuck….

On the 25th August at 1.20am #BenWallace gave us official paperwork - a tweet😠We actually made the airport but a Taliban commander turned us around as an #ISIS suicide bomber killed 170 people including 13 US military at the Abbey Gate. It was pure carnage and horror. #opark

A 1946 Hungarian joke has a Jew seeing a Christian friend: “How are you?” said the friend. “I just got back from the camp," said the Jew, “and, apart from the clothes you have on your back, I’ve nothing left.” Jill Culiner on a hidden massacre https://t.co/63Y0Sc8T2D
