If she had been docile, she might have silenced her critics. Luckily the ingratitude police are on the case, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
============================================
What has Nazanin to be grateful for, surely not the 6 years accommodation at the hands of Iran when she should have been spending those 6 years helping her husband to bring up their young daughter. Or even the 5 Foreign Secretaries over those 6 years, except possibly one.
Perhaps for the gaffe made by Boris Johnson when he was Foreign Secretary when he stated that she was ‘simply teaching people journalism’ one of the supposed reasons she was held by Iran. When in fact she was being held by Iran for the return of money they paid the UK Government for tanks in the mid 1970s but the tanks never were sent and the money not repaid as sanctions were imposed on Iran.
Surely, after 6 years confinement in Iran, she is fully entitled to speak her mind, so those who don’t agree, get over it.
