That article is just pure lol-material from beginning to end, starting from the awful Beiber haircut/wig of the guy in the picture down to the ridiculous comments at the bottom.

When I first heard about this I was sure the Iranian foreign ministry were just trolling. Now I'm not sure, it could be they genuinely believe that the UK has a case to answer re protesters whilst they don't.

    I can well believe that they regard themselves as morally superior, having recalled this piece, articulate in expression, but utterly farcical in content, by Darius Guppy
