[/quote] Why do you think it’s obvious? [/quote] Because you hear about her constantly in the news and is always high profile. They regularly feature her story on LBC and her husband, who has all the time and money in the world to travel to see her and for foreign meetings. There are thousands of people locked up abroad that you never hear anything about at all. They are from Hampstead!! When callers phone LBC to suggest she may actually be a spy the presenter goes into full meltdown. Maybe after all my years of research into the true nature of things has made it easy for me to spot an obvious fake story like this. Sorry for the late reply!! [/quote]

Brit mum Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s release from jail has been held up after Iran raises ransom bill to £500m with interest

BRIT mum Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s release from jail has been held up after Iran ramped its ransom bill by £100m, it has emerged.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has secretly agreed to settle a 40 year-old debt to Tehran as the price to free the sickly dual national, who turned 40 on Boxing Day.
But The Sun can reveal that diplomats are now locked in a major haggle over how much interest should be paid on the £400m historical debt from a botched military deal.
A court ruled in 2010 that the UK owes Tehran the money after pulling out of an agreement to sell it 1,500 Chieftain tanks after the Shah was overthrown in 1979.
But sources have revealed that Iran is insisting that an interest rate of up to 8% is levied on the cash, pushing the total close to £500m.
Iran will next month haul the British government back to court in London as it mounts a renewed legal bid to enforce the payment.
