Doubt we’ll ever find out how it’s happened. Great news though.

What’s that got to do with it? Do you want her to stay locked up in a hellhole in Iran on the off chance?

From today's Guardian. Absolutely fucking shameful.
'Ratcliffe made three discoveries; first that her fate was linked to an unpaid £400m debt dating back to a deal to sell 1,500 tanks to the Shah of Iran; second, she was not alone, but part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps industry of hostage-taking; and finally that Boris Johnson as foreign secretary only responded to public pressure.'
Left to rot in a stinking Iranian prison for six years because the Tories refused to acknowledge, let alone settle, a legitimate debt.

The Tories have acknowledged the debt, but have always maintained that it should not be linked to this hostage. Trouble now is, sanctions estop us from paying.From today's Guardian. Absolutely fucking shameful.

I don’t think we’ll ever know the full details but I am so glad she is getting home.
