It is odd how the trivial can grab attention. What struck me about the front page photograph in today's papers, of the released British commandos, was how awkward they looked, all dressed up in badly fitting suits, like the one Borat wears. But the suit worn by the Iranian President didn't look any better. It was not much of an advertisement for Iranian tailoring.
When they arrived back, they were in army fatigues. I wonder if they were allowed to keep the suits as a souvenir?
It would have all looked less contrived if the Iranians had got someone from their British embassy to buy a lot of stuff for them at JJB Sports and send it over in a diplomatic bag. Don't they have any sense of style?
