Iran seizes British tanker
- Thread starter marco
- Start date
typical Spanish,,couldnt fight their way out of a paper box never mind seize an oil tanker,their track record since 1588 is pretty dire,as for the French i wont get started,the Rest of the EU well id sooner trust a convicted bank robber with my cash then them, sometimes its better the devil you know and il carry on pissing in Trumps back garden for now
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.

Oh yes happened under the Tories as a result of the PREVIOUS Labour regime, bit like the current crisis is the fault of the LAST Labour government.it was, but what caused it, miners strikes enabled by over-strong unions a result of the previous labour regime, andyway, political thread
Tories and the media have a long memory, the three day week was 47 years ago but of course it was so much worse than the cumulative effect of nine years of austerity and record cumulative borrowing and the current existential crisis brought on by the Tories.
At least in 2066 Labour will have some good excuses to use.
Call @Ban-jani .
Let’s not be silly now

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.

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'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.

Sending out flying pickets out to stop other people earning a livelihood didn’t endear them either.
