"Britain had earlier handed over eight suspected Somali pirates to Kenya after it obtained assurances they would get a fair trial and would not be executed, UK diplomatic and defence officials said."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/…If this isn't decadency, tell me what is. Britain used to have a naval army some 200-300 years ago whose cruelty was feared and unmatched by any pirates ever.
Now it's "here aah the pihrates, just promise you wohnt hurt them, ohkay?" Where's the honour? What happened to ripping the guts open, nailing the bowel to the mast and convincing the fellow to run with a torch and a spear, huh?
- spot on. now everyone will want to be a pirate. no disincentive.airey
