Breaking News: Ho, Boy
Yacht Carrying 5 British Nationals Stopped by Iranian Forces, Taken to Iran
No link yet. Got it.
…”On 25 November, a racing yacht owned by Sail Bahrain and crewed by five British nationals, was stopped by Iranian naval vessels,” reads a statement from Britain’s Foreign Office.
“The yacht was on its way from Bahrain to Dubai and may have strayed inadvertently into Iranian waters…”
I wouldn’t be so sure of a quick release in this day and age.
wtf are these europeans thinking toodling around over there on their yachts?
Meh. Who cares? Let the Iranians have ’em. Or the UK could grovel some more, try and get them back. Though I don’t really see the point. Surely they have an over-abundance of idiots, eh wot?
Their pick.
I think we’re in for some groveling, given it’s the British modus operandi of late.
Well, sh*t ~ in all honesty? Ours too, lately, thanks to the most apologetic ditherer-in-chief ever.
Maybe they were headed to Dubai with a giant novelty check, seeking to bail them out, and the Iranians decided they wanted some ‘a’ that?
I guess the Iranians figured that the Somali pirates shouldn’t have the monopoly on kidnappings.
I hope they’re not going to wet their pants and hug their teddy bears while crying themselves to sleep like their Royal Navy brethren did.
