"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after" Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

Perfectly expressed.

True story.

Cutting welfare goes against Labour’s core values – that’s the point Labour governments have always had to anger their supporters to win ‘credibility’.

For all those clutching their pearls...

"Labour’s essential problem is that, for all its social democratic values, it understandably aspires to become the natural party of government in what is an overwhelmingly liberal capitalist political economy."
