Ayatollah attacks 'police state' Britain

The Telegraph

Britain is a police state where living conditions are worse than "the jungle", a senior Iranian cleric said yesterday.

Delivering the political sermon during Friday prayers at Teheran University, Ayatollah Ahmad Janati issued a tirade against Britain.

"Day by day, corruption, tyranny, felony, insecurity and different dangers are attacking human society," he said. "Just look at the fight against terrorism in Britain.

"All gatherings are under the microscope. People should know they are being watched.

"In cinemas, parks, streets and even in the railway stations, cameras are watching."

Claiming that police could "arrest anyone without any evidence or pressing charges", he asked: "Is this life for a human being? No animal in a jungle lives with the amount of insecurity that they have there."

He also castigated Britain for "spreading insecurity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine".
