My scepticism was obviously missed.
In the article quoted the only direct British mention was the
Royal Navy. The only direct link was that Shell had an office on the Thames. The only indirect link mentioned is
crewed by . . . Brits . . .
.
There is a possibility that oil bought by a part British company that I part own in a ship that might have a British crew members might be hijacked.
There is an equal possibilty that a cruise ship manned by British officers, carrying British passengers also part owned by me might also be at risk.
Why was there no appeal by RDS to European States such as Italy and Greece or to the navies of Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Dubai? Or even to the owners of the oil - the USA?
Why us?
