Thats not makes you a liabilty. Your troops surrendering without a fight and being used as political pawns is shameful.

But that was the first time.

This is the SECOND time.

This time makes you the liability. Perhaps every Brit unit and warship should have an escort when within 30 miles of Iran.

Our troops had little choice given the circumstances. They were massively out gunned.

As for us being a liability, that is absolute nonsense.

I really want to hear what those sailors and marines have to say for themselves when they get back that made them say the Iranian line. Not denying heavy coercion was involved, just curious.

I just don’t understand how two weeks of frailness on the part of the British government seems to mean a lot more to some of you than 5 YEARS of fighting together against tyranny.
