    Crew were just threatened, no actual assaults, so if happened on a high street, they would just get a talking to, they were just innocent scared stowaways where crew had threatened to throw them overboard (will be the defence)

      I was watching this yesterday evening on ship radar 24.

      There were 2 RNLI boats nearby I was assuming the SBS could have disguised themselves as RNLI, however helicopters, dressed in all black, flash grenades and armed with machine guns would send a better message!

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

          The charges will probably be some variation of international piracy, so they'll be hanged at Wapping. Wishful thinking, obviously, but they should be looking at 20 years followed by deportation.

            They might prefer 20 years followed by hanging

                Not if they manage to impregnate a woman or two, then they will be arguing they have a right to Family Life.

                      No good grounds for anyone from Nigeria to claim asylum. There are problems with Islamists groups etc but there are safe places and it is a reasonably democratic nation. Certainly no-one engaging in major criminal activities should be accepted.
