Title: Yacht in Iranian Waters
Post by: Jonny on December 01, 2009, 03:51:20 PM
This has annoyed me this story.

I'll explain why in quotations:

"An Iranian official has said "serious" measures will be taken"
"if it is proved they had "evil intentions"."

RIGHT LADS! THEY'RE MAKIN' WEAPONS IN THERE, WE KNOW IT!

WE'LL INVADE-

IN YACHTS.

CHARGE!!!

... far be it form me to sympathise with Iran in any way, shape or form...

... but as far as I can see the yacht DID stray into their territory.  I would imagine that an Iranian boat straying into UK waters would be treated pretty harshly...

Mark.

I'm not so sure, I would like to think it would. I don't think the PM has actually even spoken to Mr Russia about the 'Bear' planes that keep coming closer and closer

Agreed.   And the papers would be having a field day about how the evil bar-stewards must be up to no good.

I feel for the families involved. I hope that the Iranian Government sees this as an opportunity to win goodwill and treat them well and let them go home soon. If it was a yacht with an Iranian crew straying into in British waters then I'd like to think we wouldn't all get silly about it being a security threat. Offer to help with repairs and send them on their way.

It's a yacht though, not a torpedo armed yacht. Or a battleship. Or a stealth battleship or anything.

Still.. They better wise up.
