Brit Hostages Freed
"Gift to Britain”? “Brave border guards”? Is this bunch full of s**t or what? If Jimmy Carter hadn’t been President and let them get away with this once, we wouldn’t have to put up with this crap? If any of you out there has a Time Machine™ could you please go back to November 1976 and stuff some ballots with votes for Jerry Ford? Please!
Iran To Free UK Captives
(SKY NEWS) - 15:31, Wednesday April 04, 2007
Iran is freeing the 15 UK sailors and marines taken captive in the Shatt al Arab waterway 13 days ago as a “gift” to Britain. Some have been shown on Iranian TV speaking to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadk at his palace in the capital Tehran.
Their release was announced by the president who said they would be handed over to the British embassy. He said he had pardoned the sailors as a gift to the British people and to mark the birthday of Islam’s Prophet Mohammed and Easter.
A Downing Street spokeswoman said: “We welcome what the President has said about the release of our 15 personnel. “We are now establishing exactly what this means in terms of the method and timing of their release.”
President Ahmadinejad announced the Britons’ release after awarding medals to the “brave” border guards who had arrested them. “I would like to thank the Iranian coast guard for courgeously defending our Iranian territorial waters,” he said.
He then pinned medals on the chests of three Coast Guard officers. The ceremony was performed during a press conference broadcast around the world. The controversial leader said he was “saddened” that Britain had violated Iranian waters.
He also accused the Government of concealing the truth about the affair and the EU of being too quick to condemn Iran. “Is this the kind of attitude, manner that we want to run Europe - this is the European Union - without investigating they announce a certain stance.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
