I notice, with very little surprise, that there do not appear to be mass protests in the streets of London after the tragic and baseless shooting of the Iranian protestor, Neda Soltan.

Why would this be, I wonder? Could it be that the people who are so eager to turn out on the streets to demonise Israel at every turn are less anxious to offend those who are in charge of the Islamic Republic? Surely not.

Sooner or later an ayatollah will blame the evil Zionists for fomenting unrest against the regime and then it will be safe to demonstrate again. Colour me cynical.
