Yep. Gets posted about here at least once a year!
Also a bobby sands themed restaurant over there, ironically enough.
“Baby” Sandez sounds like a Colombian drug lord.
Unfortunately, given the poor state of education in English public schools, Rupert and Horace have no idea who Bobby is
Apparenly some teenagers replaced the sign as a troll after the revolution and the name stuck.
It’s the street of the British embassy. It was called Winston Churchill street, and they changed it after revolution. Top trolling!
Didn’t Fidel Castro do the same in Cuba?
Very tall sign. You could hang something from that.
Let’s not forget that the regime in power in Iran executes hundreds of political prisoners every year.
There is a Rue Bobby Sands in France somewhere. The offices of the sportswear company Kappa are there.
Discovered this on the labelling of a Kappa manufactured Aston Villa jersey I have, it’s fitting as apparently Sands was a Villa fan and mocked relentlessly by his fellow inmates about it.
There’s stories from the Iran-Ireland playoff 2001 of taxi drivers taking detours to show Irish fans the sign.
And the Irish Passport Office in London is on Cromwell Road.
Yes
Yeah it’s common enough knowledge
Iranians, MOSTLY a great bunch of lads.
That settles it…. Let them build a nuke!
How is Babi formed?
There’s a street named after him in Paris too I think
