Provoking Iran, British style

What was the urgency to confer on the controversial author the prefix ‘Sir’? With the Iran-UK relations in doldrums over the nuclear issue and the recent capture & subsequent release of British marines by the Iranian navy, one would have expected the outgoing Prime Minster Tony Blair to avoid pin-pricking the Iranians.

The only path left for the English establishment is to rectify the mistake and re-establish its secular credentials by honouring Dan Brown, the author of Da Vinci Code, with the title of Sir..
