The depressing thing is that Royal Navy ships have now been told *not* to capture Somali pirates as the crew may then claim political asylum in the UK with the consequent expense of bringing them back to Britain, housing and feeding them, paying their legal expenses as they plead their case in the courts, followed by the likelihood they would eventually be allowed to stay in the country and thus fuel anti-immigration racism.
Back in the day when the Royal Navy ruled the waves, pirates were hanged and the corpses were coated with tar and left on public display for a year to warn others of the consequences.
