“This is the Royal Navy that not so long ago endured missile attacks and air raids and hung in there in the Falklands.”
In only one generation the Royal Navy went from stud to impotent.
Obviously the RN warship didn’t really try to stop the Iranians from illegally seizing the tanker, as IF they had tried the Iranian raiders would be sleeping with the fishes & the Iranian boats would have been sunk.

Is this the same Royal Navy that sunk the Bismarck?
British fagged ship.
“Stop, Or we shall write a stern letter to the Times!”
Yep! True that! (Snicker, snicker)
(Snicker, snicker)
Abject Surrender Alert!
Whats ironic is that Britain will imprison its own citizens, such as Tommy Robinson, merely for exercising freedom of speech, but it cant stand up to third world tyrannies. Or maybe thats actually not so ironic.
bttt
Even Monty Python couldnt make this up.
Might as well take down the Lord Admiral Nelson monument at Trafalgar Square.
Next step, they are going to try harsh language. If that fails, a diplomatic note.
Or, they could just sink the Revolutionary Guard boats.
“This is the Royal Navy that not so long ago endured missile attacks and air raids and hung in there in the Falklands.-
- Where the Brits lost the HMS Coventry due to inadequate air defense capability compounded by the poor decision of her Capt. to cross the bow of the HMS Broadsword which did have the capability to shoot down the incoming air attack.
If you’re muslim and you don’t stop, they don’t do anything.
If you’re white, they open fire on you.
I remember a few years ago when a Russian ship was seized by Somali pirates. It was recaptured by ruthless Russian special forces who then loaded up the Somali pirates including their wounded into their boat and then riddled it with gunfire sinking it. Videos were made of the event and circulated worldwide. Needless to say Somali pirates never again molested any Russian ship.
Where is Mr. Bean when they need him?!
Actually they were not special forces. They were armed merchant marines and sappers. They supplied these pirates with plenty of fuel and mined the boat - explosion w/fireball happened a short time later.
