Some might find it ironic that Yvette Cooper (as Foreign Secretary) is arguing that a couple who were on a motorbike tour of Iran & have been jailed for spying (for ten years) is'completely appalling and totally unjustifiable'.... when as Home Secretary she proscribed Palestine Action (a decision now in some doubt after judicial review) which involved the prosecution of peaceful protestors under the Terrorism Act.
