FEAR OF ARRESTING PIRATES DUE TO CLAIMS FOR ASYLUM. THEN KILL THE SCUM. problem solved.
H/T LiveLeak
There isn’t anything to add that I might get away with.
Sad state of the world though. Maybe the future belongs to the muzzies and pirates after all.
UK = Don’t nick pirates, they claim asylum!
THE Royal Navy has been ordered not to arrest pirates — in case they claim asylum.
Warships must simply watch if merchant vessels are attacked, it was revealed yesterday.
Meanwhile crews have been warned that fighting modern-day cut-throats could violate their HUMAN RIGHTS.
Last night seadogs were enraged by the shock decree to our proud fleet — once the scourge of buccaneers across the seven seas.
It comes amid an explosion of piracy off the East African coast, where ships have been hijacked by armed gangs and crews held for ransom.
Earlier this year Colin Darch, 70, of Appledore, North Devon, was freed with his five crew after 47 days when his ship’s owners stumped up £350,000.
Yesterday respected shipping newspaper Lloyd’s List revealed: “Foreign Office officials are understood to have advised the Royal Navy not to confront or arrest pirates in the region, for fear of transgressing human rights legislation or encouraging their seeking asylum once taken to the UK.”
Furious shipping chiefs confirmed the order following a summit with EU anti-piracy officials in Brussels — who said the Navy had been told its presence in the region was simply to act as a “deterrent” to kidnappers.
The European Community Shipowners’ Association demanded “direct action be taken against the pirates” — like the French Navy has been pursuing.
One captain stormed: “As a nation we should hang our heads in shame.” [yeah, you should!]
A dozen ships have been attacked in the past two months — and almost 200 seamen are currently being held captive.
Last night it was unclear who gave the order to the Navy.
The MoD said its rules of engagement were an issue for the Foreign Office.
But the FO insisted: “We don’t give the MoD instructions on how to operate.”

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.
