Interesting piece on BBC News just now. Apparently, political protesters in Iran are being further clamped down on and are now being accused of being involved in 'terrorist activity'.
Seems a global tactic. They do the same here.
Except here, you're also accused of the same if:
1. You're a trainspotter
2. You are an octogenarian who shouts 'rubbish!' at a Labour Party conference
3. You put your dustbin out on the wrong day
4. Your dog has a poo in the park
5. You want to leave a football match early
6. You want to join a peaceful protest about any political issue whatsoever
...and so on and so on and so on.
And, especially with point six, you run the risk of being bludgeoned to death, violently assaulted, locked up for four weeks for no reason, whisked away in the night to a foreign country...
So, while we might rightly say 'oh, that's terrible' with regards to Iran... some of us at home - thankfully a dwindling minority - are still daft enough to think: "nothing to hide, nothing to fear".
And these are just some of the reasons why we cannot wait to see the back of ZaNuLiebour.
