Something really is wrong, isn't it?

Well, shiver me timbers:

Following a recent spate of pirate attacks* off the Horn of Africa, reportedly Her Majesty's Royal Navy has been powerless to act following official concern over possible violations of the buccaneers' human rights - and worries that they might seek asylum in the UK after being captured.


The rest of the article doesn't make it any better.

Let's see them try that 'human rights' crap with a Russian warship.

Our navy will have to stand back and watch how it's done, since labour don't want the military involved in anything that might turn a bit violent. Might scratch the paint!
