Britain to get a 'slap in the mouth' from Iran

[AverageJoe]

Oh dear. This doesnt look helpful.

Mr Mottaki said the protesters "should not be encouraged by a few... statements by certain countries".

He added: "They should not pin their hopes on them. Britain will get slapped in the mouth if it does not stop its nonsense."

Mr Mottaki's speech was broadcast on Iranian television with an English translation on screen.

Who or what is the mouth of Britain? Portsmouth? Glasgow? Richard Littlejohn?

maybe if we send them a few ipods and another rubber boat there calm down

In context the "mouth of Britain" is David Miliband. I think I can get 100% behind the idea of Mr Mottaki giving Miliband a slap in the mouth. It's a kind of diplomacy I believe we should encourage. It's painful, undignified, pointless, and only funny in a sort of juvenile sadistic fashion. What's not to like?

think the iraninan goverment would want us to be humilated rather than cheering him on can't offer to buy him a pint as he's a muslim

the iranina goverment are barstards but lamping milliband would be funny as feck

 

[rikwakefield]

bitch slap

 

[Stoat Boy]

Initally this was being reported as a 'punch' in the mouth.

Thats much more nasty than a slap.

 

[Bajie]

Seeing as the Iranian gouverment are bunch of old bastards who love nothing more than getting their troops to rape civilians I am inclined to say come and have a go if you think you are hard enough

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Notice they're getting all hard man when it's Milliband that's in line for a slap. A well aimed fart could knock him over.

How about they take on Prescott?

 

[mattie]

He'd eat them alive.

 

[butchersapron]

Then throw them up.

I can remember reading a cheesy thriller by Freddie Forsythe about a mythical super gun that Saddam had and all the malarky involved in blowing it up and much was made of the threat being promoted as a 'fist'.

Something about the whole thing about it being an unusual threat in Arabic which is more a culture of the knife as opposed to fisticuffs.

Might be a load of old tosh but it does make me wonder about the semantics over this thread.

 

[Bajie]

So Britain is going to get stabbed in the face instead? They favour the ass in Turkey.

The Iranian view of British influence and capacity for meddling is really very flattering to our rulers. As if they could summon crowds of demonstrators in Tehran, let alone play any of the fancier tricks for which they are blamed/credited! It really is a daft part of Iranian political culture massively to overrate the enmity and capacity of 'Little Satan'. It's almost entertaining - certainly funnier than their nasty habit of hanging homosexuals and stoning women.

Somewhere around the isle of mull I think. We should be ok.

Yep, it's simply a plot to manufacture an external enemy who isn't the US to get the population to rally around, and to be able to demonise the protestors as putting the safety and stability of the country (and your families!) in danger - more traitors within! It's entirely for domestic consumption and is nakedly transparent. They did the exact same thing after the election.

Dartmouth.

Is still the first target in the event of nuclear war, and also Freemason-Central

Maybe we need to start worrying about Hizballah now?
