      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.'

            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.

              Some mates of my elder brother happened to be in Tehran on the day of he Revolution - far from being revolutionaries they were on the Hippy Trail from Glasgow en route to Kashmir - I recall they mentioned altough it was very noisy - no hame came their way .

              They had to concoeal their stash of smuggled whiskey bottles whcih I was told were eventually traded by an obliging hotel porter for some Hash .

                    Ok, looks like they got out

                    Reuters Iranian police have secured the release of six employees of the British embassy compound in northern Tehran who had been taken hostage by hardline students earlier in the day, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

                    "Police freed the six people working for the British embassy in Qolhak garden," Fars said.
