History Lessons from Years Under Islamism in Iran

'Iranians did not just submit to these new laws; they rose up in protest. This uprising was met with torture, rape, and death. With the regime eager to wipe any who dared to resist, the people had no choice but to surrender. Everyone's daily activities were now under the scrutiny of the Islamists.

Many will still think it is impossible for something like this to happen in their country. What they fail to understand is that Iran is an example of exactly how successful this meticulous grab for power can be. Islamists in other countries including the West are pursuing the same techniques on the path to seizing power. It is a quiet, and subtle process, until the moment you wake up with no rights, a culture of fear, and no promise that you will live in freedom or even to see the next day.'

Whilst reading the whole article, one could ponder why Jeremy Corbyn gets a free pass for previously appearing on, and even being a part time presenter on, Iran's Press TV. The sainted Jeremy Corbyn appearing on, and therefore tacitly supporting, the state TV station of a state that murders its citizens, is homophobic and anti democratic. Is that excused because Iran is also implacably anti Israel and anti the USA? These lefty types really are quite vile.

A serious, unbiased, news organisation would ask questions about the suitability for power for such a person who appears on Iranian television, calls Islamist terrorist organisations 'friends', consorted with the IRA, allegedly was an informant for the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War, supports the vicious regimes in Cuba and Venezuela. However the BBC is so biased in its support for the Labour Party that it will ignore such questions, preferring to attack Trump and Brexit.

The BBC is a clear and present danger to the interests of the United Kingdom, it has to be tackled.
