They're student protestors. As a barometer of Iranian popular opinion they probably shouldn't be taken any more seriously than one would take the protestors outside St Pauls.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

The old man was over working in Tehran the last time it all kicked off staying just along from the US Embassy. He brought back some recordings he had made of the crowds which were quite impressive, they had full orchestras marching with them so a jolly good racket was heard. Apparently that time he could go out as by declaring yourself British was okay. I presume now that might not work.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
