So Salman Rushdie get a gong in the birthday honours list. Good for him!
And Iran gets all hot under the collar about it. Bad for them! I hope someone in the Foreign Office points out that it is none of their business and they should sulk about it in silence. After all, we’re not exactly threatening any Iranian citizens with murder are we ?
And a few days later, Pakistan also gets into the act. Again, what right do they think they have to criticise us when we honour a great writer ?
