Don't know why they don't just blow them out of the water and leave no evidence of their existence. Simple!!

That wouldn't work very well. The pirates mates back home would take it out on the current hundreds hostages and just up their ransom prices.

Like I say it is a superb business model that works very well . As nearly every country is affected it can only be solved by a global response. That isn't going to happen.

As we sow, so shall we reap. This is the price we pay for sitting on our hands and hoping someone else will solve the problem. A larger, insoluble problem.

This also applies to the appalling record of the last few governments here (both Conservative and Old/New Labour - breakless parents incapable or unwilling to teach their children to become useful members of society - those who laud celebrity and live their lives vicariously as a result - and finally (in this short rant), to the masses for whom  the mantra - 'Anything will do, I don't give a opps' is uttered in the hope of sliding through life or employment in the expectation that they will not be asked to exert themselves and that, should anything ever go wrong, someone else will sort matters out.

Abundant seeds have been indeed been sown and we are now beginning to witness the bitter harvest that was inevitable as a result of such apathy and irresponsibility.

Shouldnt really disclose this and wont reveal sources but here is a genuine letter sent to a local council. This person was not a typical "chav" such as Den may alude to , but an older person who shouldve known better. Honestly it isnt made up, but demonstrates the attitude and lack of general manners that plague our society:
"I am writing to complain about council tennants being angry because I throw washing machines and TVs and other electrical junk down 2 flights of stairs its perfectly safe ,and no ones been hurt yet.
 They also complain because I throw rubbish away by the railings of xxxxx park.A rubbish council truck cleaned it up so why they moaning?I have my rights and will do as i wish

PS they also complain because i pick on ill or old people.what i do is my affair "

Must be great to live next to this person 
As regard to the RN and the pirates it really mustve been SO tempting to just blow them out of the water

My faith in the RN is getting lower & lower, did anyone see Royal Navy Caribbean Patrol?

HMS Manchester was unable to sink a plastic 8 foot boat! Pathetic...

That's a corker Jerry but seems, sadly, to be the attitude prevalent in many of our people at the moment.

maybe the answer is a no sail zone enforced by Nato?

Wait a minute, no oil so just sit back and let the cost be passed on to US the consumer by the companies paying the ransoms.
