Meanwhile, the latest response of those who rule us, upon having the clocks turned back 200 years, has been to
- fire some smoke grenades at a safe distance from a pirate ship so as not to hurt any pirates

- get NATO and the UN to sit down round the table together to come up with cunning new ways of absolutely not hurting any pirates in any way at all.
Shiver our furry timbers!
