Stop trying to create drama and force the conversation towards this. The poor lady was locked up for more than half a decade. Shes not wrong, any one of us would expect to be rescued far sooner if we were in her position.
Complaining about the British government doesn’t really have much effect, but they are in theory accountable to the British public. The Iranian government (or Russian etc.) on the other hand doesn’t really care what we say.
An actual article written by an actual journalist telling people to be black-and-white absolutist and avoid nuance. Fuck off.
Yes Iran’s regime is abhorrent for taking political prisoners. Duh.
Yes our government should also have paid its debts way before now and should never have let this go on for as long as it did. British people in “scrutinising their own government” shocker.
I don’t blame Britain. I blame Boris Johnson, who cared so little that he could not be bothered to grasp the details of her situation, whilst he was Foreign Secretary.
Boris is to blame.
But the media need to leave her alone now.
Don’t criticise the govt. or dissent whatsoever. If you do you’re “attacking Britain”. Foul article.
