The main problems for the British couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, who are being held hostage by Somalian pirates is that they are white, middle-aged and middle class citizens. Therefore  they are worth nothing and the British Govt will do next to nothing to secure their release from the capture of the savages who kidnapped them and are starving them to death.

Contrary to the claims of those too ignorant to know what they are talking about, Mr and Mrs Chandler were not sailing in Somalian territory when their boat was ambushed – they were some 1000 miles off the coast of Somalia and in international waters when they were captured. These beasts do not operate within their own territory anyway, they do not lie in wait for some poor fool to wander in to their path – these animals seek out victims indiscriminately.

I find it all so hypocritical of Gordon Brown; that he is financing a war against terrorism and spending billions in doing so yet will not deploy a small number of personnel to seek out these poor people. And let’s not pretend we don’t know where they are, a person picking their nose can be seen from space these days! Somalian criminals, refugees and scum asylum-seekers who land in the UK are handed their Human Rights on a plate, not deported and supported in style in taxpayer funded accommodation – while the Chandlers are afforded no human rights at all.

Looking at the latest pictures of Mrs Chandler leads me to believe that unless action is taken she and her husband will not survive for very much longer. What is there to lose then by deploying some Mercenaries to go and find them? I am sure the Chandlers would prefer to die being rescued, by some attempt at least, than by being starved to death…or worse. And when it is over, drop a bomb on a stretch of east Somalia and wipe out these wretched bastards altogether.
