Where’d the men get the pretty suits, and that snappy outfit the woman has donned is just ....beyond words! /sarc. Mr. Almondjihad must have gone shopping.

And, they just landed on Heathrow a little while ago dressed in their military uniforms before being flown away in a military helicopter for debriefing. Then, back to their families
in time for easter.

Cheers.

I was glad to see they were out of those ugly suits. Happy Easter to you too, Eurotwit!

These idiots should be happy to be home and happy to have done more damage to the US & UK alliance than the islamos could ever have hoped for. Im sorry to the (few) Brits who still have a spine but as a nation I will never respect them again. They really need to get out of the Gulf, go home, and stay the hell out of OUR way. We dont need friends like the Brits anymore.

Thanks for posting this.

Great altering jobs on the suits. Apparently the decision to free the 15 came quickly before the suits could be altered to fit.

I rejoice with them and their families.

I look with scorn at ROE and countries that accept them, that facilitated the iranian terrorist act to be committed in the first place

If it wasn’t for the English, you’d be speaking French or Spanish and would be living in a third world country.

If it weren't for the Americans, sweetie, you'd be speaking German now.

I'm an anglophile, but the behaviour of the Royal Navy in this incident was a moderate show, beginning the the Task Force commander, Commodore Lambert, continuing the amateur boarding party tactics, and, capped off with the utterly stunning collaboration of the two Royal Marine officers with the Iranians.

The contrast between Dame Thatcher's immediate launch of an armada to the Falklands and Tony Blair's obvious inability to defend England's honour was striking, and Blair's reputation will not profit by the comparison.

BTW, I've read a lot of British history, and I can't think of any British "Anthonys" who've been worth a fig - Tony Benn? Anthony Eden? risible.

not all of us think the UK is an embarassment and I have often said that same thing about if it wasn’t for the british we would be living in a third world country.

but while i am on the subject, the one thing i do think you brits are doing wrong is allowing for the building of that 70,000 person mosque in london

This will bring down the Blair government. Then the UK will quit the fight and head for home.

Once on safe soil, the Brits need to put a missile into an Iranian bridge or an empty military barracks, possibly Mahmoud’s summer home, something like that. They need to say “don’t screw with us again.”

They need to donate those suits to a Jewish charity.

Sheesh. What a circus.
