Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Prizes from Tehran included a ceramic tile bearing the stern features of Ayatollah Khomeini, as well as a copper profile of the late Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
43% : Highlights of my collection include a brass portrait of a glowering Saddam Hussein bought in Baghdad after the end of the eight-year war with Iran.
42% : Brexit provided some items - though as a remainer I boycotted leave campaign slogans and T-shirts.
37% : From the mid-1980s I made several nerve-racking trips to Iran, where the conflict with Iraq was always billed as a western-backed conspiracy against the Islamic revolution.
