My fight is with power. It just happens that women are affected more. Partly our own fault for not standing up to people with power over us. It happens to men too.
My fight is with anyone who exerts pressure over another because they have more influence.
No they don't.
'Someone' COULD take the braver, less populist route, of actually doing what is best for the nation, based on the overwhelming weight of evidence.

I am not sure whether I heard this correct or not as I was getting ready to go and catch a bus but I thought I heard on This Morning when being interviewed her husband said that Iran maintain that he is a British Spy so she was helping him gain information.

And now a bad situation has got worse with Michael Gove equivocating about why she was in Iran.
We're at the stage where although Corbyn lost the last election the May government is disintegrating to the point where I think Corbyn and Labour could be the largest party if there were to be GE in the next 3 months.

It doesn't matter which party you vote for, the government always gets in.

Do you think that will happen as I cannot see the likelehood of GE in the next 12 months yet alone 3 as I cannot see TM or the Tories pushing for one until they have succesfully negotiated Brexit to fall back on for votes.

Perhaps if she had listened to Foreign Office advice on Iran,she wouldn't be in prison in the first place.But as a former BBC employee,who taught foreign journos apparently,I'm sure she knew better.

I'm not sure if they could make more of a mess of the county. How long did it take the Tories to win an election? How long could they hold it together for?

Thankfully the greatest part of the time spent between the end of WW2 and now has been spent under a Tory government, long may it continue.

I thought they already did run it, at least according to many brexiters here
Yet again on this thread an excellent use of irony...I just love the fantasy that the Tories are capable of successfully negotiating Brexit - hahaha ha ha - excellent stuff!!!

Anything is possible. All rational thought went out of the window the moment May lost her majority. The vultures are circling and they are ALL at it, in their own way - Boris, Gove, Patel, Hammond, Davis, Mogg.

Well they are all wrong.
Little wonder that countries like Iran act they way they do with Britain when neo imperialists people like you think we can interfere with how they treat their own citizens.
She is Iranian and was arrested in Iran, which is unfortunate for her British husband but the Iranians don’t recognise dual nationality status. The days of Gunboat democracy are over Mr Palmerstone.

It's never been done...uncharted waters if you like, the people voted so let's get on with it. Nobody, on either side, has a bloody clue what to do or what might happen.

Precision is not nitpicking.
She was in Iran to see her family, that’s why her old man was not with her........if they were all on holiday then sure, I could accept that it was a family holiday but it wasn’t.
She was in Iran to see her family, end of.

I know the difference between going on holiday and going home to see my family.
Both are enjoyable, but also different........this woman was in Iran to see her family, that why she wasn’t with her husband.
