I know, I know, I'm just being a woolly liberal politically correct Guardian reader, but such comments make me cringe, even when said in jest (as I know it was )

Nice turn of events today showign just how "Open" and "democratic" the rulers of Iran are. They have today banned almost all internet useage and blocked most mobile phone signals and stopped all mobile text messages being sent or recieved.

they have also banned all foreign journos from going out of their hotels and reporting from the streets. this last bit is at least a teeny tiny bit better than israels disgusting banning of all foreign jounos as it went about its massacre in Gaza a few months ago.

Either way, nothing over there is about to change any time soon. As Tim rightly says, let the religious mob in and it'll take a hell of a long time to get them out again. Unless their masters "engineer" it that they go, as the Shah's masters did when it was his time to go.

I find religious fanaticists more worrying and all too powerful, in so many places. I know how lucky i am to be able to express my views without fear
