Royal Navy won't fight pirates 'in case they claim asylum'

Royal Navy won't fight pirates 'in case they claim asylum': "British Foreign Office officials are understood to have advised the Royal Navy not to confront or arrest pirates in the region for fear of transgressing human rights legislation or encouraging their seeking asylum once taken to the UK"

The British Royal Navy, once the scourge of pirates everywhere, has been advised not to apprehend or even confront Somali pirates on the Horn of Africa lest these pirates claim asylum and a life on the dole in the U.K. Once in Britain they better not illegally download any music to their MP3 players otherwise they would face the full majesty of British Justice.
