Iran handed 'Asbo of Evil'
President Ahmadinejad shrugs off the Asbo as he flicks his Burberryesque scarf |
The prime minister said that with previous kidnappings of British personnel, its treatment of non-Muslims, its nuclear development programme and funding of terrorism in neighbouring Iraq, the anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) was the only solution he saw to bring Iran into line.

Mr Blair added that Tehran has been warned in the past that it was in danger of being slapped with the order, but now finally was the time to take tough action.
"I want to send out a clear and firm message to president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that this kind of behaviour simply cannot continue," Mr Blair stated.
Highlighting years of feuding between it and neighbour Iraq, which led to dog excrement being left outside the Iraqi border, loud parties on boats up the Shatt al-Arab and all-out war in the early 1980s, Mr Blair said that enough was enough.

"From tonight, Iran will no longer be allowed out past its borders between the hours of 18:00 and 06:00 local time. Furthermore, it is not allowed to associate with North Korea and must report to the UN at least once a week."
However, critics say that the Asbo will merely be seen as a "badge of honour" by the rogue state, which is known to enjoy its bad-boy image.
Pow!!!
"They need a nuking, it's the only thing that'll straighten them," said retired Colonel Montagu Spratt. "In the old days when places like Japan stepped out of line, they had several megatons dropped on them. Now thanks to bleeding heart lefties, you can't do that.
"It's a disgrace," he added.
