The Voice of Reason Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I was always brought up to have good manners. Ingratitude is bad manners. Her husband who would have had more interaction than she with the politicians involved had the good grace to thank them for their efforts.

Stitch Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I really wish, that someone would ask her, what happened to her Linkedin page. It disappeared straight after Boris, or his researcher read it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheCourse Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 21 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: Just watched her press conference. Little criticism of Iran from her for holding her but plenty for the various foreign secretaries holding office through the six year period. It’s not like they kidnapped her. Seems a tad ungrateful to me. Husband Richard acknowledged the contributions of the politicians in getting her released though. It appears to just be accepted that this “debt” existed and was payable. Maybe it was (in which case I’m surprised the UK Government welched on it for so long). Or maybe it wasn’t and the Government decided the cost of giving into blackmail was a price worth paying. Or more likely the truth is somewhere in between. Anyway I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt after what she’s been through. Don't forget there's still a man being held in Iran like those two were. She'll be very careful not to sound triumphant or to criticise or upset the Iranians in any way as this could jeopardise his much hoped for release. If it were my loved one being held I'd want all concerned to be as nice about the Iranians as possible, albeit through clenched teeth. And yes, criticising the UK government would gain Iran's approval and, again, increase the chances of the other hostage's release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And criticising the UK Government won’t do her much good if it happens to her again. I can’t imagine any future Foreign Secretary would bend over backwards to help her.

The Voice of Reason Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) It seems from todays Guardian that Nazanin did sign a confession to unspecified charges ( but she did say that she was forced into it by UK officials) Its all very curious Edited May 23, 2022 by The Voice of Reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
