Iran's Strange Foothold In UK.

Last night, at Iran’s PressTV studios there stood before
my camera two perfect English gentlemen by the names of
Andrew Gilligan and Richard Ottaway. Gilligan is now named
"The Journalist of the Year" and Ottaway is the Tory MP,
who sits on the powerful and highly-sensitive Intelligence
& Security Committee at the British House of Commons.
They're shown together at the above caption picture of
mine that I took of them just last night at PressTV.

Moments earlier they had just finished talking before the
invited studio audience, that also happened to include me,
and in front of the four TV studio cameras at one of Press
TV’s weekly forums. This week’s forum question was
“Europe in Afghanistan: Time for a change?”

Live Inside Iran's PressTV Studios.

As I observed and started to think inside the PressTV
studios, I began to wonder about what seemed to me
to be Iran's strange foothold in UK via its own "first
Iranian international news network broadcasting in
English on an around-the-clock basis" and around the
world from the British capital at London's Media House.
There seemed to me to also be alot of other strange
things and questions about Iran's PressTV in UK.

All this was set against the backdrop at the eve of
U.S. and Iran to face off at six-power nuclear talks.
No mention was made, of course, of that at last night's
PressTV forum, which was dominated by a largely
Middle Eastern audience from every part of the
Middle East - Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran,
Israel, etc - and all UK residents I believe.

I was selected to ask the forum panel a question,
about the War in Afghanistan, but they never got
around to me to ask me to speak my question which
wasn't my own but of the studio's own making. It was
given to me by PressTV staffer Nicki Chandis.
ooo
Hosted by Andrew Gilligan, the four panelists were:
Minister Giovanni Brauzzi, Interim Charges' D'Affaires
of London's Italian Embassy; Andrew Burgin, Spokes-
person, Stop the War Coalition, who wouldn't pipe down
even after host Gilligan tried to have him do so; along
with Guy Smallman, the noted photojournalist; and the
earlier mentioned Tory MP Richard Ottaway, who
was anxious for me to take photos of him with his ex-
BBC friend Andrew Gilligan together. I was more
than happy to oblige Richard, who plans to put one
of my photos of Gilligan and him on his own website:

ooo
Richard Ottaway also told me that Britain's strategy in
Afghanistan wouldn't be changed, if David Cameron
and his Tories got elected at the next British General
Election in which New Labour is expected to get
rightly clobbered for good and finally finished off ...

Last Night's Invited Audience At PressTV Forum. ooo
Iran's PressTV also employs the disgraced ex-Tory MP
Derek Conway, who is now listed as an Independent
MP; and Respect MP George Galloway, who declared
that the recent re-election of Iran's President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad wasn't and couldn't have been "rigged."
What would you expect him to say, when he's in the
full pay of PressTV? These strange characters are all
part of Iran's strange foothold in UK. That's what it
seems to me and to which I believe. Along with
Conway and Galloway, PressTV also employs
British journalist Lauren Booth, who made bizarre
headlines after she wrote about herself being raped;
and Yvonne Ridley, the English woman who tells of
her Taliban captivity and her then conversion to
Islam. Again, all of this is so strange to me that is
now coming out of PressTV to which is an integral
part of Iran's strange foothold in UK. I cannot figure
it all out, frankly, right now. Perhaps someone out
there who is in the know can help clarify all of
this to and for me? And, I hope so soon ...
