Iran is a very similar country to UK. Same size population & the man in charge is completely out of touch with the people he's supposed to be governing

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostAnyone see it? A tad more booring than some of his other travels, but it was interesting to see how Anglicized Iran appears to be. Almost everything, train tickets, signposts, menus, appear to have English translations, and in some cases the English translation came before Arabic. The people seemed normal / pleasant too - they weren't carrying suicide bombs and newspapers reported on British events, and a couple of young single women even flirted with Charlie and crew on the train. Charlie was a bit worried about getting his throat slit by pirates on a boat trip though for some reason. It's repeated tonight on BBC2."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI haven’t seen the programme but I’m puzzled. Do you mean Arabic or Farsi (Persian)? Iranians are not Arabs not do they speak Arabic, they are Aryan hence the name Iran. They were not originally Muslim but followers Zoroastrianism, believers in the signs of the Zodic, the sun etc.Comment
