There is no point arguing with Iranians living in London. These are people who supported the Shah and privatization. After 1979, the new Islamic government carried out large-scale nationalisation of resources and banks. The London diaspora consists of the elite, whose assets, factories, land holdings, and bank accounts were confiscated.
London is one of the main financial centers where the Shah's supporters kept their funds. You won't argue with them.

The Shah's London supporters are mostly deposed ruling classes—the comprador bourgeoisie and the bureaucratic elite. Their support for the monarchy is a desire to restore the system that ensured their privileged position.

American bombings will not bring what these people consider 'democracy.' They will only radicalize society. An American 'puppet' will take over the government and sell off the country. The Iranian people figured out what's what and won’t allow this to happen.

These are instructions for the medication neurontin. The instructions are printed in Latvian and Estonian in a country where one-quarter of the population is Russian-speaking. This is a significant linguistic minority. Although most Russian-speaking people use Latvian, in medical situations, patients should be given the opportunity to read the instructions in the language of a significant minority. This should facilitate patients' understanding of important scientific and medical texts (not everyday texts). Otherwise, the risk to the patient's condition and well-being increases.

Failure to provide patients with the opportunity to understand medical or scientific texts constitutes linguistic discrimination against a significant minority of Latvia's population. It should be added that, starting this year, doctors in Latvia are required to communicate with patients of a significant linguistic minority only in Latvian, even though many doctors and nurses know the language of this significant minority well and do not object to communicating with their patients in it.
