British tanker - "Stena Impero" taken off-course by IRG

They'll be back by the 31st of October.

"Iran denying 2nd ship taken"

The Hormuz Triangle ?

armed guards boarded it; then allowed the vessel to carry on it's journey; according to the owners? Sounds weird

Still talking **** bap, and watching it

hows the Hornby engine, Frank?

Love they way they claim the ships are British, just vessels owned by corporates who avoid tax.

It’s frank from my perspective,yours bap?

Full of ****

choo choo!

Yep and I lost it ,more fool me **** happens

Iran stole a corporate oil ship and now that corporation is going to call for war shocker

Oil will go up and talks of war will fade in the coming days

It was stolen oil. So the Iranians took the right step imo.

A bunch of loons in their glass towers trying to send your kids to another illegal war

We know the drill by now

Hence why they try to stick us all in professional cloths and turn us all into psychos

Its easier to manipulate people who end up with the same mind set

I concur

Who are calling for a war?
Not seen anything and MrT opposed to war.

Piracy , nothing to do with war , So it was OK to blow Somalian people out of the Water , but no others ? 

Seems a little racist to me ?

War gets circulated and it gives them a reason to up the price of oil

There will be no war you can be assure of that

If they couldn't invade Iraq they sure as hell ain't invading Iran

I believe they did invade Iraq , or did I imagine the gulf war ?

Iran has committed an act of war; of course the UK has to call it that & respond. That's not going to happen, but officially Iran has started a war

Shoosh, don't mention the war.
I did earlier but I think I got away with it.

i think conditor has gone back to his train set, so need to whisper, Mr Bula

Jesus Christus.

Condi in a bit of a mood tonight. Must have suffered a derailment.

Pirates , Boats Scuppered Crew arrested , Dispatched back home in Dinghys , Job done .

SAS probably on standby Case.

someone needs to be there; got half a navy now so maybe dinghys is the way to go

The Waverley on standby as well.

Had many a good trip "doon the water" on the Waverley.

The Waverley
Likewise Mac.

I see there is a group set up to try and get the Maid of the Loch fully functional again.
Another Paddle Steamer I have fond memories of.

Me too Aka. Good memories.

The Iranians would have had a serious problem hijacking the Waverley with us two tanked up down below in the Bar.

Aye and Uncle Albert at the helm.

I was thinking more of Para Handy. Sunny Jim could have thrown lumps of coal at them and Dan could have hit them with his spanner.

The Vital Spark.

All this for imposing EU sanctions when we should not be in the EU and not a peep of support from the Europeans but Trump was straight in with the support.

You would expect the EU to step up and show some strength or at least put a statement out. Their new army is only trained in controlling its on population.

Try to remember this, when you read or hear things just like this,who does it benefit? well its not Iran now is it!

as long as its not Iran that's good

Big derail aka ...big ... from nonsense

That's right Sonko. French army too busy controlling the Macron protesters.

where's the nutcase? Has she already reclined in her deckchair?

in regards to the FS Twunt; aren't you all mighty relieved he isn't going to be the next PM?

Einstien ,bap.??

Einstein numpty
choo choo

another  attack?.... fire away bud...or a bully ?...

take a look in the mirror Frank; & think twice before you carry on what you started

I don’t do mirrors chap they only show you what you want to see,do they not??

now have a look at your 10:22 post, Frank

if you really want to join the trolls on here; at least be honest about it & don't try to twist the game ol' bean

Sorry for late reply bap.tell me why I’m I not honest.?

Hunt says all the right things to all the wrong people,ideal for a Prime Minister

Twunt & May - a ringer for Henry the bloodhound & an escapee from Rampton. What a pity Spitting Image isn't still about

Looks like we were tricked by the yanks; " How trumps arch hawk lured Britain into a dangerous trap to punish Iran"

I can't believe there will be a war either but how did we get duped into playing Pirates with the Yanks?

Are our people in charge really so stupid?

Iranians, over the past couple of weeks, have made it perfectly clear what thier intentions were but our Government have apparently been taken by surprise!
And to think it was Trump and his administration that were described as "INEPT" in those e-mails.

Iranians  have  been gradually invading us across the channel for months now.

the nutcase is chairing  a COBRA meeting later today. Blaze of glory exit? Or just the usual ass in the air submission

Here are some questions

Why did we HIJACK an Iranian ship? What fceking business was it of ours?

Where were the weapons of mass destruction?

Why did Morgan Stanley pay Tony bLiar $5,000,000 a year after he stepped down as Prime Minister, what had he done to deserve that?

I see the Petro$ went up today

Oil producing Venezuela taken care of not the Septics can turn their attention to Iran.

I just hope our Government can find some cajones and say NO. We don't want to meddle in the Middle East again to help your oil producers!

If you are a wolf that wishes to distance itself from its current pack, despite having been one of the alphas of the pack, you sometimes gotta make yourself the very obedient lapdog of a truly big dog and do its dirty deeds and bidding.

weren't we being obedient to EU sanctions

You actually believe that cover story? I don't think the EU orders soon-not-to-be members (or any other member) to use their military to hijack any ships. As far as I know, any EU sanctions are about EU countries or companies exporting oil to Syria anyway. Not about hijacking ships from random other countries that try to get oil to Iran.

It just so happened that coincidentally the US's lapdog, and not any of the other EU countries, intervened? Coincidentally as tensions between the US and Iran were rising (and I think the EU oil embargo sanctions towards Syria have been there since 2011).

Also

Carl Bildt, the former Swedish prime minister and co-chair of the European council on foreign relations, pinpointed the ambiguities of the British action in Gibraltar: “The legality of the UK seizure of a tanker heading for Syria with oil from Iran intrigues me. One refers to EU sanctions against Syria, but Iran is not a member of the EU. And the EU as a principle doesn’t impose its sanctions on others. That’s what the US does.”

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/20/gulf-crisis-tanker-retaliation-iran-hormuz

Josep Borrell also dismissed the UK's very, very transparent cover story and attempt to mislead the public about the true reasons.

*Not about hijacking ships from random other countries that try to get oil to Syria, and that random country coincidentally happened to be Iran

sorry

It's pretty darn obvious this stunt happened because of the special relationship of lapdog and master between the UK and US.

and then lol, trump says "look after your own ships".   The right wing have found more ways to humiliate Britain than was ever thought possible.

And how is that a problem for the UK ?
It’s not our boat , it’s not our oil , and it has a foreign crew ,
Let Sweden or the eu sort it out we don’t care

Now I suggest the Swedish pm stops whining  at Britain and the US and starts whining at Iran
For stealing it’s oil and imprisioning it’s crew
See how that goes

Trump is only there to absolutely destroy the wests stranglehold of power

The fat git has done nothing but threaten without actually doing one thing?

If I was the alt right, right wing nutbars I'd be demanding him gone as well

Trump of course is right when he says look after your own ships
If Sweden or the eu wants his help that they ought to be nicer , good

That of course includes the usual anti American suspects in Britain , and on here
Don’t be rude and expect America’s help  , it’s bad manners

someone tipped us off about the ship in Gib water; any assumptions as to who?

I don’t care as long as it was illegal it should have been stopped

Of course I don’t want Britain stopping or protecting any ship ...unless it is a British ship with British oil with British crew
The rest of the countries , such as Sweden and the eu will have to look after themselves

lfc, do you understand that Carl Bildt simply pointed out how transparently your government is lying to you about the true reasons of their seizure of the Iranian ship?

He is not asking Britain to protect Swedish ships.

^ yeah, that was fun (though wasn't it Pompeo?). First the US proxy that is the UK seizes a ship at the request of the US, then when Iran retaliates tit-for-tat, the US government is all "Dudes, can't you even look after your own ships"

#specialrelationship

The eu doesn’t have a special relationship with the US edy , too bad , lol

UK will always go to war on America's orders. There is no doubt about that. The thing the americans are p1ssed at is how the british people spoiled the relationship with EU, which almost always supplied troops for these wars as well. Maybe this is just a plan to show the people how important EU is and therefore how bad brexit will be, once UK is left on its own and america starts playing tough. You only have to look at the govt's fooling of the public on brexit to see it wasn't a desired result.

But at the end of the day, all that is needed is a bunch of troops willing to fight a war without asking questions. I don't think UK has any shortage of people like that(lfc would be a perfect candidate though he might be overage, but there are many like him). This war with Iran though, I don't see it happening.

This is very true. If you are supplying sheep to participate in war, in unlimited quantity and without asking any questions, you deserve a special relationship. Unfortunately we don't have that because our leaders, also morons like yours, asked questions before supplying sheep, and outright refused on some occasions.

'Special relationship' is just a nicer way of saying 'the biggest lapdog'

Exactly so detraveller , now remember that and the eu can send it’s own warships to the straits
Don’t expect the U.K. or America to help thanks

It's the UK that has been asking France, Germany and others for help.

Ah no edy , it’s Sweden’s ship not ours
Now if the EU want it back they can ask Iran , good luck we’re not interested

i actually agree with lfc; tell the EU to sort it, send the Deutsche Marine & Le Royale on their travels

The sheer gall of Germany and France and Sweden etc to think that the U.K. should have to send British gunships to rescue their boat , deary me

Britain has quite enough warships to protect British boats and British crew
We’ve done it right through the Iran Irak war and at other times
That’s all we are prepared to do now that’s how it is

OMG, lfc is secretly GERMAN! Why else would he ever spell it Irak instead of Iraq?

Got ya all figured out, buddy.

So yes , forget about any special relationship , unfortunately times up

Such nationalistic concerns are not for me edy , I live on the earth like everyone else
That’s my viewpoint

lfc exposed

Lol , nonsense I am British and I thank God for that life and all it’s rich blessings :)

Africa with all its deserts would not be more foreign to me than Germany

Or indeed some parts of London :(

We have some great desserts in England

Gypsy tart! yum

The crew of a British-flagged tanker that was seized in the Gulf are "safe", the vessel's owner has said after speaking to them for the first time.

The British-flagged Stena Impero and its 23 crew were taken by Iran's Revolutionary Guard on Friday.

The owner, Stena Bulk, made contact on Tuesday with the ship's master who said they were safe and there was good co-operation with the Iranians on board.

The vessel seizure came amid heightened tensions between Iran and the UK.

Iran said it had detained the Stena Impero on 19 July because it collided with a fishing boat, but Stena Bulk has said it has received no evidence of a collision.

The owner, Stena Bulk, made contact on Tuesday with the ship's master who said they were safe and there was good co-operation with the Iranians on board.

All good so far!

Why don't we tell the IRG to get in contact with the owners of this ship?

Because we don't give a fcek!

Heard the Iranian Tanker might be released shortly.

Questions need to be asked as to why and under what authority we stopped their tanker?

We are not The Pirates of the High Seas anymore!

lfc

do you know the current Royal Family are of German extraction? German was the first language of our current crop of Monarchs first imported here 300 years ago? You do know Phil the Greek, the father of our next King was German and his sisters married prominent members of the Nazi Party?

You should be proud to be British and thank Got in himmel!

USA issues warrant for the seizure of oil tanker Stena Impero

Piracy alive and well

The real terrorist’s are across the Atlantic
