So, she works for the Thomson Reuters Foundation and according to Wikipedia:
"Since 1983, The Foundation has used the Reuters principles of impartiality to train reporters around the world. The Foundation provides practical, skills-based training programmes available in seven languages and across 170 countries. To date, over 13,000 journalists have been trained internationally on 27 highly specialised training topics".
It doesn't look like Boris has said anything that couldn't be discovered in five minutes on the internet.

This woman's "British" status also appears to be somewhat suspect. She was born in Tehran in 1978 in in response to a parliamentary question, Minister of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth office Alistair Burt noted that:
​Iran does not view Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe as a British national, and has no legal obligation to do so. On this basis Iran has not granted us access to the charges or evidence in Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's case, nor provided us with consular access. Under our consular role we do not provide legal advice to British nationals and cannot interfere in the internal affairs of another country and have therefore not made an assessment of Iranian law. Based on publicly available information, we have raised our concerns with the Iranian authorities, but we are not in a position to determine whether Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's rights have been violated under international human rights laws. We continue to press the Iranian authorities to provide Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe with access to all the legal paperwork relevant to her case. We request consular access at every opportunity, not least so we can be assured of Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's welfare. We will continue "to assert that she is a British national, to press for consular access, and to support the family to the extent that we can".

In short, however you feel about Boris, there is no evidence to suggest that she wasn't doing exactly what the Iranians have accused her of.

Perhaps you'd prefer a government made uo of:
Corbyn

Abbott

etc
 
Abbott. The gift that keeps on giving.

I was going to include John "I'm a Maxist" McDonnell as well because his triumphant claim followed by snivelling denials is always good for a laugh.

Ah, what he heck...

In BoJo's defence, no reasonable country could possibly interpret "teaching people journalism" as a bad thing. It's only because Iran is a nutty theocratic regime that they've locked her up for it.

But I would infinitely prefer a Corbyn government.

Ah, the alluring promise of more swill in the trough.
Can you think of a socialist government anywhere or amywhen that has actually made the poor richer?

Remember, Corbyn is a fan of Venezuela.
 
In fact,the thread wasn’t about Labour,Dianne Abbot or Jeremy Corbyn.
Seems if you highlight anything this Nutjob does it’s like poking a wasps nest with a stick 😂
 
I have zero love for any of them.

Must admit, I’m similar,I just think this man is unreal, I actually can’t believe he is in the position he is in.
I think someone is having a massive joke on us, surely people can’t take this clown seriously.
I couldn’t care if he is a Tory,Labour or a member of the Nazi party, he is just a bumbling fool
 
he is just a bumbling fool

A "bumbling fool" who taught English and Latin at Geelong Grammar, an elite independent boarding school BEFORE going to university.
A "bumbling fool" who co-edited Oxford university's satirical magazine Tributary.
A "bumbling fool" who wrote for The Times and The Daily Telegraph: 1987–94.
A "bumbling fool" who went on to edit The Spectator - increasing its circulation by 10%.
A "bumbling fool" who, as an MP, represented the constituency of Henley in the House of Commons from 2001–08.
A "bumbling fool" who was elected Major of London for two terms.
A "bumbling fool" who returned to parliament in 2015, played a lead role in Brexit and was subsequently given a government post.
A "bumbling fool" who has authored 11 books including a very well received biography of Churchill.
Johnson may be many things but he's nobody's fool.
 
Ok,you like him.
Your entitled to.

He is not my cup of tea but hey,make him PM and we can be laughed at worldwide 😂😂

Not particularly but I'm not a fan of people who call people names and don't provide legitimate arguments.

As for the next PM, I seriously doubt that it'll be Boris.
Even though I'm not a natural tory, I'll go with Jacob Rees-Mogg. I frequently don't agree with him but he's both principled and measured.

Boris speaks for himself I would have thought?
 
Let’s agree to disagree
I’m not a politics lover,you clearly are.
I just find his interviews hilarious.
 
Doesn't mean to say that anyone with an academic qualification is automatically good at everything. He may be great at teaching or languages but he has no interpersonal skills and is probably a rubbish politician or whatever he does.
I know degree qualified people who don't know one end of a screw driver from the other and keep pretending they do...
 
Boris Johnson has carefully crafted his buffoon image. He hasn't got as far as he has without some nous, which makes him all the more unpleasant and dangerous.
