Yaarrrggghhh! Good News fer Pirates

Shiver me timbers! This be true! The British Foreign Office has directed the Royal Navy to no longer detain pirates, even though they are sent into some of the most dangerous waters in the world, to ironically help stamp out piracy. They have also been told not to try an capture any buccaneers, as they fear they would claim asylum status, as their "Human Rights" would be infringed if returned to countries such as Somalia, a territory off whose coast piracy is endemic. An official FO quote says “There are issues about human rights and what might happen in these circumstances. The main thing is to ensure any incident is resolved peacefully.” Compare this with our French counterparts. A boat containing 22 of it's citizens was being held to ransom, which the boat owner paid. The French then sent 50 trained commandos to round up the gang and return the money. Since when did the frogs have bigger balls than us? Since this set of limp wristed arse wipes took charge, that's when. There was a time, not to long ago either, when the British Navy was the most feared armed force in the world, and our friends in New Labour have reduced it to to nothing more than a floating joke.

Stop the Nonsense!!!
