I just hope that reasonable settlement to this can be found before it esculates further. No one wants to see a 3rd. Peace hopefully.

Hi Ken ... Your not the Ken Norton that gave Muhammad Ali a run-for-his-money are you ? just kidding of course ... a little light lightheartedness as a smother for the more serious subject that you so rightly raised above.

Re: Grace 1
Bit more on this with the possibility of retaliation against a British flagged tanker.

Re: Grace 1
Who is now running the UK? With the ongoing problems of who is going to be the UK's next PM , who would be giving the orders to send Marines to take that Tanker, if things go wrong no doubt the tea boy will be in Sh%t street again .

Re: Grace 1
Without getting into politics seems the old nuclear attack
advice is getting near true, place a brown paper bag over
your head, place head between knees and kiss your r's
goodbye ?
K.
The trade talks where the US insisted their businesses carving up the NHS was on the table..? Cancelled?
Oh dear.. how sad.... Never mind!

Re: Grace 1
The trouble is Brexit and that is why France and Spain are quiet , they want the penny and the cake , Spain are annoyed that Grace 1 is in Gibralter waters , but even if the Grace1 was in any waters sanctions have got to apply that is why the UN has them , as for Donald Trump , do not rely on him to help us out if the brown stuff hits the fan because he is all talk and no action he thinks that if he shouts loud enough people will listen and fall in line. At least the uk has got some back bone even though we are overstretching our selves again .

Re: Grace 1
The captain, chief officer and two 2nd mates off the Grace1, have been released by the Gibraltar police (they are all Indian nationals)) and another news snippet HMS Duncan is off to the gulf to relieve HMS Montrose in order for her to return to Bahrain? For repairs, refuelling and crew r&r. The M.O.D say at present they do not have any plans to escort all U.K. registered vessels through the straits of Hormuz, remember U.K. registered could mean isle of man, Gibraltar, Cayman islands on the stern as to Johnny foreigner they are all part of the u.k. registry.
