No. We just want to get along with you like we do most of the rest of the world. We can't let you build a bomb though cos you might kill us all.
No British crew onboard. Eighteen Indian and five others from various countries. UK warship standing by as observers apparently.
"France and Germany called on the Iranian authorities to quickly release the Stena Impero. Germany's foreign ministry condemned the "unjustifiable intrusion" on shipping through the route, adding that the seizure "further exacerbates an already strained situation". The French foreign ministry warned that the ship's seizure "harms the needed de-escalation of tensions" in the region. Also calling for the release of the ship, the European Union's foreign affairs office, which represents 28 member states, expressed "deep concern" and urged for "restraint to avoid further tensions". I hardly had to look for that, it was so easy to find evidence to refute your ill judged lies.
What do you mean we can't keep them? Our fleet fish in EU waters and sell to the EU. We sold a hell of a lot of our quotas to the French and Spanish. It was the Brits who owned the EU quotas who did that not the EU. It was the greed of the UK Fleet owners.
Well here's the UK s position regards sanctions . Seems like they have a lot of concerns . concerns about a country’s internal repression of its citizens, regional instability and other human rights violationor arms embargoes concerns for the national and collective security of the UK and its allies concerns about a country’s internal repression of its citizens, That alone should see the UK placed under embargo due to this Tory governments policies... Lol

He's going to change the working hours of the Junior Doctors has he knows that will result in a strike one way or another...
Bit of a paper tiger these days is the UK . You could argue for greater presence of the RN in the straights of homuz to prevent this happening again but Tory austerity has pretty much made that impossible . What goes around comes around and I've a feeling Mr hunt is going to make a fool of himself in this particular round of diplomacy .
