Pirates can claim UK asylum

Just how low can Britain go and survive as a free Western nation? Now some idiots in the Foreign Office have declared that pirates captured by British Navy can claim asylum in Britain. This is beyond reason and good sense. Are these officials so far under the influence of Islam and Political Correctness that they would destroy their own country?

This affects not only Britain, but the rest of the Western world because it sets president and signals the Muslim pirates that there will be no real punishment for their crimes. As a matter of fact, some pirates may wish to be captured by the Brits in order to get into the country, with all the benefits that other Islamic leeches receive.

Compare this clap trap with the French, of all people, who took direct action and apprehended some pirates that had hijacked a French vessel. Good for the French. Power is the only thing these Islamic brigands understand, and is the only thing that will stop them.

Shooting the pirates in the act is the only long term solution that has any chance of success. As Davy Jones would say: dead men tell no tales.

Pirates can claim UK asylum
Marie Woolf, Whitehall Editor

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.

Last week French commandos seized a Somali pirate gang that had held a luxury yacht with 22 French citizens on board. The hijackers were paid off by the boat’s owner and then a French helicopter carrier dispatched 50 commandos to seize the hijackers and the ransom money on dry land.

Britain is part of a coalition force that patrols piracy stricken areas and the guidance has troubled navy officers who believe they should have more freedom to intervene.

The guidance was sharply criticised by Julian Brazier MP, the Conservative shipping spokesman, who said: “These people commit horrendous offences. The solution is not to turn a blind eye but to turn them over to the local authorities. The convention on human rights quite rightly doesn’t cover the high seas. It’s a pathetic indictment of what our legal system has come to.”
