I don't think they would have dared!

The government of the day knew full well that The Kids who were listening to pirate radio were the exact same The Kids that The Scary Reds wanted to recruit to their own ends. And at least to date, the transmitting ships had not been of the heavily-armed variety ..... Perhaps it's not so ironic who was responsible for the Marine Offences Bill, but a carefully-chosen figure to send a crafted message. But that's about as political as it's safe to take things out here, I think; PM me if you're interested in continuing that line of discussion, and we can adjourn to the safety of a blog.
