Rethink and deviate away from current government policy not to allow ransoms to be paid to Somalian pirates, in order that Paul and Rachel Chandler may be freed and allowed to return to their families!.

It appears that a ransom of £100,000 was agreed by both hostage negotiators and the Somalian pirates holding Paul and Rachel Chandler, around about the 20/21 November. However, the payment was blocked by the British foreign office, who reiterated their stance that The Government does not allow the payment of ransoms.This I believe is a dangerous and somewhat naive game to play with the lives of British citizens and will only add to the anguish felt by the the family of Rachel and Paul Chandler at a time of the year when Families should be together!

Surely sending the message that actually, yeah, we might be willing to negotiate with pirates and terrorists is an even more dangerous message to send, because they’ll encourage more kidnappings and the like.
