Emmie....yes, lets hope so. This poor woman has been used as a hostage for far too long. But I wish I had better faith in Boris.

[emmie]

well he is a persuasive fellow, let us hope that she and the others held are allowed home.

[emmie]

there are others to consider according to the piece, i wonder how long some have been in jail

[youngmafbog]

She was travelling on an iraqi passport so we have no diplomatic angles to use.

In addition there is something very fishy about what this woman was doing. IMHO.

[derekpara]

I agree with you, YMFB, and because of that she has become a bargaining chip in the Great Game.

I think she will be released before Christmas and Iran will have gained something to their advantage.

[emmie]

so not just visiting family, i find that hard to believe she was there spying or some such nonsense.

[youngmafbog]

If she was really spying then she would be dead. More likely she was training Journo's something the Iranians would take a very dim view of.

From what I understand she has history of slating the Regime, really not a good idea visiting places like that when you have made such views known. And if you must then travelling on an Iranian passport so you loose all UK 'rights' is bordering on insane.

All Boris can do is ask nicely, or as suggested above, buy them of in some way.

[emmie]

i see, buy them off, but what with..

[Gromit]

Boris Johnson on your side would only be a good sign if it were a best clown contest.

It’s like hanging from a thread and finding your saviour is Edward Scissorhands.

[emmie]

if she gets released because he bowed down to them, then you will have to eat your words

[youngmafbog]

Gromit, that has to be you best anti British comment yet. Absolute garbage showing you know nothing of reality.

Get a ruddy life man.
