keep our fingers crossed for her and the family, let us hope that Boris Johnson's visit did some good.

[mikey4444]

Yes Baz.....its high time this woman came home...fingers crossed !

Presumably the £40 million (it was that, wasn't it?) that our banks were holding for the Shah of Iran has been discovered to be properly payable to the state of Iran. Good news, anyway.

[emmie]

and if she does, lets hope that Johnson gets some credit, because he held talks with the top brass, which is more than anyone else has done

[mikey4444]

Emmie....I am not Boris's biggest fan, but if he can get this poor woman back home, then he will can count on my support....handsome is as handsome does and all that.

[emmie]

indeed, lets hope she comes home soon.

Mikey, //I am not Boris's biggest fan, but if he can get this poor woman back home, then he will can count on my support.//

No doubt he'll be eternally grateful. (Mikey who?).

[anneasquith]

Should Boris have " stepped in " sooner than he did ?

[naomi24]

anneasquith, since she holds dual nationality, Boris was under no obligation to step in at all.

[anneasquith]

You believe that Naomi?

[vetuste_ennemi]

//Should Boris have " stepped in " sooner than he did ?//

Should Boris be interfering with "due process" in the Iranian legal system?

If due process allows known advocates of terrorism to walk free in the UK it's not that difficult, is it, to understand that some other version of "due process" might compel an innocent person to be banged up?

The laws and the definitions are based on culture, and, as every schoolboy knows, all cultures are equal and "Diversity is our Strength".

anneasquith, //You believe that Naomi? //

It's accurate.

Give over Naomi. This poor woman is married to a British man and has British kids, which she hasn't seen for some considerable time.

I couldn't give a monkeys about her nationality....stop nitpicking....if Boris can do his bit to get her home, then that is OK with me.

[naomi24]

Mikey, // I couldn't give a monkeys about her nationality//

Surprisingly perhaps, in matters of international diplomacy your opinion isn’t taken into consideration. I’m not nit-picking – simply stating a fact. She has dual nationality which by its nature, like it or not, complicates matters somewhat.
