@iordanou The books are not banned in the UK anymore than they are in Ireland or the US. The author and publisher have voluntarily decided to withdraw the books from publication in the UK. The author’s books will presumably remain on the shelves until they’re sold out. There’s no ban.

[Brian @Brian3226900]

@katemackay55 The books have not been banned. The author and publisher mutually agreed to withdraw them from sale. A ban is a different thing entirely. This has nothing to do with the state but is a voluntary decision by the author and publisher.

@DiscipleElland Presumably all the shops that have copies will continue to sell them until gone. There is nothing problematic about that at all. None of the books have been banned. The author and publisher have mutually decided to withdraw them from sale in the UK.

@michaelmagee__ @BridgeBooksDro1 It isn’t illegal to distribute these books anywhere in the UK including NI. A mutual decision was taken by the author and publisher to withdraw them from sale. The UK has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[Brian @Brian3226900]

@MacaesBruno She isn’t banned at all. She and her publisher have withdrawn her books from sale.

@JohnBoyne Hopefully see you in Belfast on a future leg of the tour. Particularly enjoyed Lady Churchill’s euphemisms.

[Brian @Brian3226900]

@JohnBoyne I’m enjoying it.

@columeastwood Rather an abrupt reply. Narrowing the freedom of expression seems unlikely to help.

The final verdict for Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi who held a concert without the mandatory hijab in Iran was issued today.

According to the verdict, she and eight others involved are sentenced to 74 lashes, a two-year ban on audiovisual activities, and a two-year travel ban.

@ArnoldCarton @malodoherty @BelTel It’s free on the libraries app.

I will never fly into @SanDiegoAirport again having been spoken to very rudely there today. Manners maketh man.

@archivetvmus71 Thanks for posting this great clip. I wish this had gone to number 1.

@ThomasDolby As a fan I consider this to be their worst single.

Many Iranians are sharing this footage, commenting: “Free Iran.”
