Do not think Trump asked for this otherwise he would have taken credit in early morning tweet very next day and given multiple news conferences. This looks like totally UK based action without taking US into account and no reason to take EU into account.So if the EU weren't going to do anything/couldn't do anything why did we have to. If it was to help America why ? why always us. Everyone else seems to get along fine without bending over backwards to help them.
Don't mess with my mates.Nuke the fcukers.
Nothing wrong with flying pickets it’s “only you” that thinks otherwise ;-)Sending out flying pickets out to stop other people earning a livelihood didn’t endear them either.
The NUM were just as culpable; and that strike ultimately did for them a decade later.It was a deliberate strategy by Heath to turn public opinion against the miners.
There was no need to do it.
It clearly worked looking at the posts on here.
Jezz calling out Trump today for scrapping the Iran nuclear deal which is the background to this current crisis.
Meanwhile what is the Don doing to help us.
Er, well he's slagging off Sadiq Khan ( again) and re tweeting Katie Hopkins, so all good then.
Most likely the destination of the Iranian tanker was unknown until it hit the Gib straights obviously at that point Syria would have been its final destination, it WAS in British waters and that's the reason we seized it,the ship was breaking sanctions and we were right to seize it, if it had got through it would have clung to the Northern Africa coast until it reached Syria out of reach from any EU country.The tanker never was in any other EU country's waters only British so Spain,Italy etc could not have seized it 'only us'

Maybe was a strategy to take focus away from Brexit, looks like it has backfired badly.
Point 1. Spain who are in the EU do not recognise those waters as English, they state that it is Spanish so they could have got off their fat arses and done something.
Point 2. If we are talking international waters any EU country could have seized it.
Point 3. It is EU sanctions, had we had a working government we would be out of the EU already and therefore not officially arsed about their sanctions, we could have allowed them into our waters to enforce the sanctions.
Point 4. We do everyone else's dirty work and as always we cop the shit afterwards.
