bannedfromHandV Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So if we have indeed ended up paying this debt to secure their releases, the burning question surely is why wasn’t it paid years ago so that the bulk of this detention time could have been avoided?!

Money no object now. Another £400 million ain't gonna make a dent in the debt we have incurred in the last 2-3 years. Just print a bit more money ennit.

In global financial terms it's chicken feed Mind you sending Johnson when he was Foreign Secretary to Iran to sort it out might just have delayed her release by a good few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK accepted the court of arbitration finding that they owed the money , but I think there were various arguments against paying it , one was EU sanctions meant we couldn't legally pay it ( Pre Brexit), at least according to the Uk lawyers and the other was that the MOD felt the money would be used for funding the Revolutionary Guards .. I don't know how government works tbh but it does seem that the MOD were the main protagonists in stopping the payments There were some discussions few years back about paying Iran with medicines and hospital equipment rather than hard cash but that seemed to go nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KentVillan Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 What does each VT post reaction really mean? Are you really crying with laughter or was it just a faint smile Does the trophy mean “thanks” or “congratulations this is an award winning reply” Is it ever possible to use the confused reaction in a way that isn’t like pulling a face at someone on the playground… and who holds the record for the most confused reactions? 2 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Ah it's almost "pointless engerland friendly" time, which means the usual suspect will make a thread about it Other Football.

hippo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Why do we say "fish & chips twice" We don't apply it to anything else for example we don't say "a pint of lager twice" or "a cup of coffee twice" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed that. I would say 2 portions of fish and chips please. Actually I wouldn't, I'd more likely say one portion of Roe and Chips and one pasty and chips please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
