Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
It seems she is about to return to the UK. I assume this is because the UK Government have stumped up the £400 million that is alleged to be owed to Iran. If this is the case, why did it not happen previously?

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
I have a feeling that we're about to witness a sudden thawing of relations between the West and the Iranian regime.

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
It's a possibility. And, if she did, it's also entirely possible that her family knew nothing about it. But we'll never really know one way or the other, and casting any suspicion on her isn't going to do anyone any good. So I'm inclined to go with the official position that she is innocent.

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
I think the best take on this is that her daughter is going to be reunited with her mother after sevens years of forced separation. That is a good thing.

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
Are you suggesting that he is not completely strategically objective in all his decision-making? Next thing, you will be suggesting that his prime motive is deciding what is in it for him and his privileged cronies...Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 12:45 pmOk best not mention the albino baboon Johnson's incompetence got her re arrested and jailed.

He also needs a new source of holidays now that his Russian pals have closed their villas.

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
Yep, it's all grubby real-worldism, I'm afraid. But it's not just us. Most of Europe will have to snuggle up to a regime that still stones women to death and hangs gays, and another regime that chops a journalist up into little pieces and flushes him down the drain.

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
This lady does not seem to appreciate much, slagging off Governments past and present, having a go at her hard pressed husband for thanking the Government for her release, yet spent the weekend at a Government mansion resting. Certainly seems to lack tact. Left Iran for the freedom and democracy of our great nation now biting the hand that feeds her. I bet her marriage will be on the rocks soon unless she gets real.

Ffs, what a terrible post. This woman has been let down by the government for 6 years and you post bollocks like this.
We wouldn't pay Iran 400,000,000 pounds we owed them, and Nazanin was left high and dry
Boris Johnson, when he was home secretary did her no favours, and only when the oil from Russia could be in short supply, does the government pay Iran the money it rightly owed them.
If I was Nazanin, i'd have shown my anger in a more forceful way than she did
This government is totally useless in everything they do

Since when has it been acceptable to pay ransoms for someone who has gone on holiday to another country?

Re: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
I only saw about 30 seconds of her interview . Did she also slag off the Iranian government for making up false charges against her and making a political pawn out of her .?Dextercoindexter wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 3:53 pm This lady does not seem to appreciate much, slagging off Governments past and present, having a go at her hard pressed husband for thanking the Government for her release, yet spent the weekend at a Government mansion resting.

Then again , in her defence, her parents are still in Iran but she has not been graceful here. One would have thought she would be over the moon and thankful to be reunited with her child and long suffering husband.
