ALEXANDER MELEAGROU-HITCHENS
Yesterday, I blogged about an event taking place that night at UCL which was to commemorate the Iranian Revolution and all the great things that movement has done for the world. It was of course headed up by Yvonne Ridley, who was in for a nasty shock. It seems that none of the actual Iranians in the audience were that hot on the whole murderous religious fascism deal, and disrupted the event so that it had to be called off after only ten minutes. The video is below.
Heroes.
