Mick Hartley

It takes a comedian, Omar Djalili, to point this out. No one else is interested:

4 days ago The Times reported “Britain to ban Iran’s revolutionary guards”.

The UK have not proscribed the IRGC. The European Union has, as has Australia, Canada and the United States. Our Foreign Secretary even stressed that the we must act in concert with our allies in this regard.

Apparently the UK is discussing “the difference between a state based actor and a terrorist based actor.”

Hear it from Iranians: The IRGC IS the Islamic regime.

Hitler gave orders, the Gestapo (his police force) and the SS (his paramilitary group) carried them out. Both acted for the Nazis and both were designated as criminal organisations at the Nuremberg tribunal.

Are we saying that the UK government will designate the IRGC a terrorist organisation only after an international tribunal? How many more have to be killed before we act?

As the UK drags its feet, the question must be asked: what are we hiding?
