We have been for quite a while my friend, quite a while. Hell even the falklands was a push of our capabilities and we had a larger fleet then than we do now!


Maybe we need a good kick up the jaksy, just to show how weak we are, before the Gov will do anything about it.........

But a lot of thigns have changed in the UK, spend more money we british citizens will complain....

But we wouldn't need to use conscription, if we went to war we would have USA and Israel on our side.


As my mother and fatehr btw has said alot has changed, when the UK was threatened years ago they would stand up for themselves....

I do not want my country the UK, to have to rely on the US or Israel for support, would rather the UK show what we really are made off rather than hiding behind them both, hope members see where i amgoing with this...

Is the UK weak or is it strong on the world stage, cause right now Idont feel like we are.....



Yeah I know what you mean, it's good to have allies but it's also good to have your own power projection. If USA decided not to help us, we wouldn't actually be able to do much

Shots Near Consulate





Iran has sent a formal protest to Britain over an alleged shooting incident in Iraq.

Iran's state news agency IRNA reported on its website that British troops had surrounded the Iranian consulate in Basra and fired shots into the air.

Britain has denied any aggressive action, although the Foreign Office has made no immediate comment on the letter, sent to the British Embassy in Tehran.

This smells like its been setup by the Iranian government, they tend to use students.

Well...I wouldn't go attacking the Iranian Embassy, unless you wanted to be arrested under anti-terrorism laws lol

I tell you what though, keep an eye on the Irsaeli Embassy in London...it has been attacked before by Iranians, I think it was Hezbollah back in 1994. The car bomb attack.

What about a peaceful protest outside the Iranian embassy just to show that at least Westerners are civilized unlike the mess in Tehran.

Unlikely, and to be honest, what good would it do.

I heard about the April 6th date before the Rense link got batted about, from a journalist friend out in Baghdad at the moment. He was chatting with a guy who had been briefed by the Russian secret service.

Half of me wants to think we know because the powers that be want us to know.. and talk.. and therefore put the willies up Iran. the other is a little more scheptical and thinks this is all inevitable and just a part of the bigger intended picture.

I think you all need to see this. I'll need some time to do some homework, but I will have more to say on this later.

I think there are some great points made here..

www.nineeleven.co.uk...



There is something very fishy going on. HMS Cornwall is a state of the art ship with a radar tracking system that would have seen the Iranian boats as they left port. Why did the captain of HMS Cornwall not go to cut off the Iranians?. Why did the gemini boats not fight or at least run away when they saw the six boats coming?. No Royal Navy captain would send its people out without protection! Either the captain is an incompetent fool OR he was ordered to stand by and do nothing!' -- Beryl Hutchinson, Larnaca, Cyprus

The waters were too shallow for the warship. As to why they didn't warn them, I can't answer.

The Iranians were there waiting for them to disembark. Fighting them was suicide and we would now be at war. If they came out and were faced with warships, their crew pointing heavy guns at them, any resistance and trying to make a break for it would have been bad. Any "Death Before dishonor" talk is WAY beyond stupid.

The helo escorted them onto the merchant vessel and returned to the HMS Cornwall. It returned 90 minutes later when communications were lost. I'm not sure how many navies would leave a helicopter not used for much combat above a harmless civilian ship in friendly waters.

There was a Protest outside the Irainain Embassy in London a week ago, but that was Iranian Nationals, think it was through the BBC I saw the report, right @ the start of this crisis. Will check for links...

To be Honest, I dont think that either Goverment will back down, because they are all corrupt. I mean, who on Earth spends more money on advertising and trying to get more taxes out of people than actually help them???
I recckon we are on the verge of wwIII.
