George Osborne, the former Tory chancellor, also thinks Boris Johnson deserves some credit for the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

What for - for keeping the fuck out of it after previously having made Nazanin’s situation measurably worse with his lazy, clod-hopping intervention as Foreign Sec?

No. Johnson deserves no fucking credit for anything.

Yeah, credit where it's due, sounds like Liz Truss basically said, "Oh FFS, just pay the bloody thing and let's get her out of there", and set the wheels in motion.

Which begs the question why her predecessors did not.

I think the timing has more to do with our need for cheaper oil. Iran is one of the worlds biggest exporters of crude oil so it make sense to build bridges with the regime.

It makes sense if you're a government which doesn't really give a fuck about climate change and only says nice things about green issues to shut the hairies up. And your interest in Human Rights extends as far as "if it's not happening to me I don't care".

I can see it making sense to Johnson & Co plc.

No. Johnson deserves no fucking credit for anything.
Now let's be fair. He can have a tiny, tiny medal for his contribution - but only if he collects it at the same time as he picks up his wardrobe-sized, cast iron cock-shaped award engraved 'for services to making the plight of political detainees worse by being a stupid cunt'.

He said Gabriella had picked out which toys to show her mother when the plane landed, and that one of the first things he would do was make his wife a cup of tea.
This has got me in tear-streaked bits :cry:
