Mrs Ratcliffe, is now the time??

Should the foreign office make the best of a bad thing
by taking advantage of the lrainian govs recent advice to
UK not to back US policy in the gulf region by doing a swap
with them, we release the tanker if they release Mrs Ratcliffe?
Could be worth a try?

Regards Donkeyman!

Mrs R is not worth it.

It's unfortunate, but she pushed her luck with the Iranian regime and is now paying the price. She knew what she was up against.

OK .... she should have known ...

She should have known better than anyone, she's Iranian, she's a journalist working for the enemy. Naive? Arrogant? I don't know.

That woman deserves everything she's getting.

She holds dual nationality. So do I.

It means that when I am in the country that I am a citizen of I become a full blown citizen - with the other country that I am a national of has absolutely no say in what happens to me.

Therefore she is NOT British when she is in Iran, she is an Iranian AND SO NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

I agree she should have or did know the state of things in
Iran, but nothing she did was different to any other tourist!
Nothing she did was illegal anywhere in the western world?
She chose to make her life in uk just like thousands of
others, and we allowed her to stay here,
Therefore l believe our state has a duty to offer all possible
assistance to her just as it should to any other citizen?

She is a woman chained to a bed in a psychiatric hospital.

She may be guilty of naivety, possibly even arrogance, but deserves to be treated with respect.

Not our problem.

That's 100% down to her fellow Iranians.

Nothing to do with us.
