Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - Boris Johnson's death sentence

which bit? That he did a broadcast for an IRI propaganda outlet, that he sought to undermine attempts at holding the Russian federation accountable for the skrpal poisonings, or his night out at the palace with Xi?
Let's see some for b) he undermined attempts to hold the Russian federation accountable.

the first one we've covered, not a good decision but he didn't take money personally for it and raised human rights issues. The second he asked to see direct proof of Russian involvement and then condemned it when there was proof. The third was a State Banquet where he raised human rights issues. He talks to 'terrorists' we know, because he believes in talking to enemies to reach compromise.

Hardly the sly implication you made. On the other hand he's been a vocal anti-racist since he's been in parliament and has a voting record way better than most.
 
You might be right, but,The two "things" should be treated totally separately. It does go on, certainly in Somalia, but we should never barter or pay ransoms in exchange for hostages. It should not be encouraged. Fuel should not be given to these people.

I accept what you say, however, do you see any other way of getting Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe home?

It is also accepted by me, that even if we do send the money, they may not hold up their end of the bargain.
 
Corbyn is a buffoon, who has been seen in dubious company, however, he was never in a position to influence the outcome of this.
 
Seriously, WTF? You may not like Corbyn, you may think he's been shit at recognising/dealing with anti-semitism (which is fair enough) but this is seriously out of order.
Whaaaaaaaat? 🤣

Is Saint Jez the only politician beyond criticism here then?

He’s a MASSIVE wanker who was probably quite a senior member of the Woodcraft Folk.

I'm clearly not saying he's beyond criticism but I think it's ridiculous to feed into conspiraloon nonsense which is where MadeInBedlam's post seemed to be going. And was confirmed as such by his next post about ZOG. (Which he did then backtrack on and say was a joke :rolleyes:.)

how was I feeding into conspiraloon nonsense and where did I ‘backtrack and say it was a joke’?

Oh give over, Sue. If he’d said that about Boris, you wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow.

Google “Jeremy Corbyn Woodcraft Folk”.
 
he could coordinate their resistance against ZOG. Good to keep busy at his age.

How is this feeding into conspiracy theories? (Rather than the more obvious explanation that it was a dig at your man’s dodgy geopolitics and his own ‘hand of Israel’ nuttiness)?
 
Hi teqniq 👋

Any advance on the question I asked upthread (assuming you’re not just here to give a crap defence of JC)


Anyway back to Nazanin. What is and what could be done by socialists (in the broad sense) in response to her imprisonment and torture by the IRI

and while your here maybe you can share your views of those - like your saviour - who do have a history of what Sue so sincerely rails against:

supporting/feeding into the idea that some vast Zionist cabal is secretly running things. :rolleyes:
 
I have no real idea what anyone, socialist or otherwise can do wrt to the plight of Nazazin and the other hostages. Iran has consistently shown that it doesn't give a flying fuck for international conventions.

As to the rest of your post. Start a thread, like I suggested you do when you posted completely irrelevant stuff on the NHS thread. I might give a response there but I'm not going to here.

My posts on the NHS thread was how the NHS is privatising itself (as it has done since its inception). Hardly irrelevant to a thread on NHS privatisation. You’re welcome to put me on ignore. If you want me not to post you can take it up with editor
 
there is the crazy idea that one way for socialists to have solidarity with those tortured and imprisoned by the IRI is to er not go on their propaganda outlets (to er do the very thing that Sue accused me of upthread)

Personally I’d trade Corbs for Nazanin, and id even be happy to be seen agreeing to with pickmans model (ie throw in BoJo to sweeten deal)

A socialist campaign here for Nazanin - whilst sadly unlikely to lead to her release - is also (I would have thought) unlikely to make her situation worse. It would also have the benefit of being able to highlight the problem of state violence and political psychiatry (both here and in Iran), as well as upsetting our homegrown fash
