@Jackie GOOD LORD.So there was a Royal Navy warship there.The British navy said, "Don't board the tanker."And the Iranians did.Why have a navy if you aren't going to use it? Iran committed piracy, and the Brits did nothing.Pathetic.

@ThomasWic @Jackie 'Pathetic' sums up UK gov and the whole dirty/spineless Establishment generally. Tbh THIS is just another example of 'our leaders' complete institutional spectacularly criminal FAILING of the true,strong Brits they're ((not)) representing OR defending. FFS we are literally brushing shoulders on our streets with 23,000 (2017) 'persons of interest' (Islamic terrorists/sympathizers) who are supposedly being monitored. IMAGINE a gov who literally play Russian roulette...

@ValleyControl @ThomasWic @Jackie - Pretty much says it all: "In 1982 when Britain retook the Falklands with a Naval task force, the Royal Navy had 80 major warfighting vessels. Today it has 19 excluding submarines, and ten of those surface ships are undergoing long-term maintenance. The vessels that can be deployed have a raft of problems including aircraft carrier HMS Elizabeth's lack of fighter aircraft and the Type 45 destroyers that are fitted with engines that slow down in hot weather."

@ValleyControl @ThomasWic @Jackie - Pains me to read how the Royal Navy was left to wither away. We need a strong ally in the UK, and I hope the new PM is able to turn things around quickly.

@Lonestar @ThomasWic @JackieAmen to that. We need strong leadership in this country and a leader who can bring back our pride - it is a massive massive task as we have been spiralling downwards for years. The problem here as we are about to see if/when Boris gets the nod is that our politicians are purely self interested. We have already had Tory MP's stamping their feet and resigning because it looks as though the job is his.

@Lonestar @ThomasWic @Jackie Some Tory MP's have talked about voting against the government and bringing it down if there is a "no deal" Brexit.That could open the door to the despicable CorbynSadly we can't clone DJT but we need someone of his calibre to fix things

@ValleyControl @ThomasWic @Jackie - sincerely wishing the best for the British people. Brexit, and your form of government confuses me greatly, however.

@ThomasWic @Jackie since this is what the Iranians are doing now, have a tanker loaded with explosives and on a skeleton crew. Have it w military escort. Have navy tell them "don't board that tanker!"When they do, skeleton crew bails and detonate the whole ship.Now... Think the survivors on the Iranian ship will be so eager to board the next one?
