UK twinned with Iran ? 

Comments:0   Add your comment
The news over here in Singapore has extensively featured the attempted bombings in London and the attack at Glasgow airport this weekend. Channel News Asia has led with the story, as have CNN. The radio and press have also covered the items extensively. And one of the main stories is the fact that Australia have said that Great Britain is now classified as dangerous to visit as Iran. Along with Guatemala, Jordan, Rwanda and Uzbekistan apparently. Even my taxi driver on the way to the airport tonight was asking why the UK has turned into such a 'lawless society' (his words, not mine). Now that may be stretching things a tad but perception is reality as they say. And if that's the case then the effects on the (currently strong) economy could be devastating.
