The Poor Mouth
The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

And now for that break
Time for a break
Will take a break from posting for a little while. There is so much I want to write about, particularly about Hungarian PM Orban and his increasing despotism but I am not in the mood.
Back soon.
Back soon.
Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani has appeared as one of a number of participants in a film called Corps et Ames.
Like Aliaa El Mahdy did last year, Gofishteh is making a powerful statement about cultural policies in Iran and particularly the status of women in that country.
The Iranian regime has had a hissy fit and she has basically been told not to return to the country.
Like Aliaa El Mahdy I salute Golshifteh's action. It is her body, her right and her choice.
