So. A motley crew of scruffy sailors from the Middle East was found drifting in British territorial waters last week, without the requisite permits and what have you. Happy to say that the appropriate authorities took them into custody for a few days where they were asked a bunch of questions about what they were up to, and a small investigation was launched to see if the story checked out. Turns out they were kosher, had just got lost while looking for Ireland, released a few days later, no hard feelings.
Good on you coastguard chaps! Can't be too careful, these days.
UPDATE
Mea culpa: a little too much Amontillado with breakfast. Got the whole thing arse about tit. Sorry!
Turns out they were British sailors taken into custody by Iranian authorities.
Well that just proves it! These people are no more than warmongering savages! Hell-bent on destabilising the region and starting World War 3 with their ceaseless provocations!

And I'm sick of hearing about Jordan.
Pity
