Nice to think he might have at least some feel for the place (and not bomb around here!) An old blog profile here (from the Spectator). (Manages to have a dig at Glasgow too). I went to school with a guy fro Iran before the revolution. We used to blow stuff up out his back door with lighter fluid cans. But then who didn't 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 1 hour ago, exile said: Iran deploys riot police as backlash against government grows This is all manna from heaven for Trump. Ffs : In a series of tweets in English and Farsi, the US president Donald Trump said he was monitoring demonstrations in the country and voiced his support – sentiments that analysts have said are unlikely to win the protesters favours. “To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you,” he tweeted. “There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
