LBC caller says Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe should donate money from her ‘Hollywood blockbuster’ to charity

An LBC caller has called on Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to donate the proceeds of her yet-to-be-commissioned ‘Hollywood blockbuster’ to charity in a bizarre rant this morning.

The caller accused the British-Iranian mother, who was recently released after being detained in prison for six years, of orchestrating a “politically orientated” attack on the government, who she said had failed her on multiple occasions.

Speaking in public for the first time at a press conference following her release from detention, she said she had seen five foreign secretaries over the course of six years, adding: “That is unprecedented given the politics of the UK. I love you Richard, respect whatever you believe, but I was told many, many times that ‘Oh we’re going to get you home’.

“That never happened.”

A caller on Nick Ferrari’s LBC show suggested Zaghari-Ratcliffe should be more grateful for the role the British state played in getting her released.

Here’s what he had to say:
