It's like the War of Jenkins' Ear all over again.
|
|
By:
it must have been a shock to them that pirates were operating in that stretch of water.
idiots make them pay for the mistake that they have made |
|
By:
so what happens if no one pays the 5 mill ? and the pirates carry out the threats ?
and england have done nothing i suppose we need the money for iran and the banks |
|
By:
hate to say it .. but i'd let them keep the silly old fools
|
|
By:

By:

By:
they're a conference side, other clubs get demoted leagues or told to repay the money, seems unfair that when other teams keep a tight budget to suvive teams like the forementioned just run up massive debts in the knowledge if they go into admin they'll only have to pay a few pence in the pound....................there RANT over

They are simple african folk trying to make a shilling from stupid cvnts daft enough to sail within reach of their high powered boats.

If you walk into the lions den or in this case "pretty close to it" then you are not the cleverest. No tax money should be used to pay any ransom. The SBS/SAS should be used and if that fails then at least they tried which is better than nothing in my opinion. I hope these people are returned safely.
|
|
By:
Genius.
|
|
By:
Keel haul them all imo. Or make them walk the plank. See how they like it
|
|
By:
so who pays the SBS/SAS now let me think
|
|
By:
THEY DON'T PAY EM 5 MILL
I'LL DO IT MYSELF FOR 500K |
|
By:
No. The state has no right to take moeny from people and give it to criminals. It also encourages the act.
|
|
By:
wit-ham we do, but we don't pay them £5 million for a few days work !
|
|
By:
To be fair they were nowhere near Somalia. They were going from the Seychelles to Tanzania. Yes of course we should help them, but we're not dealing with a state here, there is no state in Somalia. It's not like you can put political pressure on them. The British government has a duty of care to its citizens abroad and if a ransom has to be paid, then grudgingly yeah we might have to pay it.

By:
Deffo not. If you pay you endanger many others.
Hunt pirates down and kill them. I don't believe this about the US Navy can't find 'em. They have satellites, and aircraft carriers. If the pirates can find each other, the US Navy can find them. |
