Jabberwocky Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ******. The UK government hasn't. Private business has. Do you have proof to the contrary? *****? Whats ****? No, but then I cant be bothered to look! Let private business pay for them in that case, or get the governments to order private businesses to stop forking out for nicked cargo. It merely encourages more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevski35 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i kind of agree with you. i think, we should offer them several thousand of the somalians we have here in exchange for the safe return of the 2 brits they are holding! Cunning plan, I like it:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudybay Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Somalia is a failed state as much of Africa is also. All ships should be armed and be prepared to shoot first and ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The Royal Navy was 50metres away from the yacht when it was seized but decided not to intervene, they then tried to cover up this fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 but they DO pay for cargo... we see images on the news if dosh being parachuted to them. The "they" are not the Government - "they" are the idiot owners of the ships/cargo, who are private individuals trying to recover their own property. If they hadn't coughed up the money, the piracy problem wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. Nobody is going to waste their time and effort capturing ships if they get no reward for it.

mj.scuba Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 At the moment the Navies that are patrolling can't take any strong action becuase they have no legality, when they find pirates red handed, they eventually have to let them go, if they throw their weapons overboard at the last moment, they can't even be taken into custody. This needs to change. Start blowing them out of the water just like they did in the old pirate days Have bait ships not filled with cargo but with an crew of Special Forces ready to shoot anybody that steps on board Have loads of remote control ships. When they're attacked and the pirates on board, remotely blow it up and send it to the bottom of the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me having to negotiating the seas where these rotters ply their trade I'd have half a dozen heavily armed Blackwater employees on board to dispatch them when they got within 50 yards of the vessle.
