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.

Dances with (well on) Mullahs
Jump Rope from Firoozeh Bazrafkan on Vimeo.
Before I take my break here is one of a couple of things I couldn't resist posting. This video is by the supremely talented Iranian artist Firoozeh Bazrafkan. Firoozeh lives and works in Denmark.
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.
