Life on the ocean wave
by planetparker
Isn’t it comforting in an age of political correctness and technology gone hay-wire to see reminders of Britain’s glory in the world, in particular those days when Britannia ruled the waves through its brave and hardy royal navy. I doubt a patriotic heart in the UK could remain untrembled by the news that the Royal Navy has resumed a task which it had apparently turned its back on two centuries ago; fighting pirates. Only the other day these latter-day Blackbeards in a wooden dhow attempted to board a Danish merchant ship off the coast of Yemen, but they were shown short shrift by the crew of HMS Cumberland, who fired on the pirates killing two of their number. The sea-lanes off Somalia have been plagued for years by these blighters.
Well done chaps! With people like you we never never shall be slaves eh!
