One hopes...that with how things are going with Russia etc things will finally calm down with Iran, small steps.

Lesson learnt, don’t go to Iran.

Oh you mean dont sell weapons? Wont happen. The nuclear deal will be restarted and the UK will also buy Iranian oil as well. Watch this space.

Would you rather she stayed there and we paid more for oil?

It is the hypocrisy of the UK Govt. They were quite happy to see her remain there as it gives negative publicity to enemies but come the fuel shortage and all of a sudden there are no problems any more.

Suddenly Iran are our best mates and all is forgiven

we all know why they're free now and I genuinely feel sorry for what they had to go through. Just shows how little people mean to the government.

I've still got to pay £3k to stop my parents freezing to death cheers bojo the bozo.

Not quite right there. 3 individuals involved, a debt we owed since the 70's. Very little to do with Boris alone.

Agreed.

Truss hasn't yet realised she had a fake call from an Iranianian minister discussing the swift code for the money transfer.

Hope they can do a reverse charge on that £400m

Sly the ideal insurgent for Iran rescue ? doesn't have the charisma of Arnie, but, he beat the Russians before;
- is Rambo III allowed in Russia

She sounds really quite ungrateful and stuck up. I had sympathy for her but not anymore.

Ungrateful!!?? So would you if you were kept in prison for 6 years for something you didn’t do. She’s missed the best years of her daughters life and was lied to over and over. I’d be ungrateful too.

When you say she didn't do it, are you 100% sure about that?

The only people that claim she did it were the Iranians, and the wonderful clown that was Boris when he was foreign secretary and was applying his usual amount of rigorous intellectual understanding and competency to it.

Do you really believe she was just a ‘charity worker’ ? It’s like someone I know being just a diplomat!

I've looked up her job history.

She was definitely involved in a project to select and possibly train / subvert local Iranian journalists so she is guilty by the Iranian yardstick. They don't want freepress or freedom of expression.

Whether by our standards she is guilty isn't the question here.

I just looked her up, she only got her UK passport in 2013 , 3 years before she was arrested. I thought she had grown up in the UK to be honest.
