Pirates have human rights as well.

**Only in New Labour's cool Britannia could this sort of shit happen. The looney lefties of yesteryear are todays government and this is the result:

THE Royal Navy, once the scourge of brigands on the high seas, has been told by the Foreign Office not to detain pirates because doing so may breach their human rights.

Warships patrolling pirate-infested waters, such as those off Somalia, have been warned that there is also a risk that captured pirates could claim asylum in Britain.

The Foreign Office has advised that pirates sent back to Somalia could have their human rights breached because, under Islamic law, they face beheading for murder or having a hand chopped off for theft.

In 2005 there were almost 40 attacks by pirates and 16 vessels were hijacked and held for ransom. Employing high-tech weaponry, they kill, steal and hold ships’ crews to ransom. This year alone pirates killed three people near the Philippines.

**Now this may seem like a solution, maybe not ideal but a solution. Should the Royal Navy just blast the fuckers apart with a 50mm shell or two? No messy asylum claims, no worries about them being head chopped by some Islamic court and a safer shipping lane for all concerned.

Damn I am good, New Labour tie a problem up with paperwork and I find a solution. After all who cares about pirates, least of all Somali pirates.

I am sure that Somali pirates are not that fearsome as like most Somali's they I am sure like to dress up like womenfolk...

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “There are issues about human rights and what might happen in these circumstances. The main thing is to ensure any incident is resolved peacefully.”

The guidance is the latest blow to the robust image of the navy. Last year 15 of its sailors were taken prisoner by the Iranians and publicly humiliated.

In the 19th century, British warships largely eradicated piracy when they policed the oceans. The death penalty for piracy on the high seas remained on the statute books until 1998. Modern piracy ranges from maritime mugging to stealing from merchant ships with the crew held at gunpoint.
