A British-owned cargo ship sank in the Red Sea after it was damaged in a Houthi attack last month, Yemen’s government said on Saturday.

The government statement said the Rubymar sank on Friday night and warned of an “environmental catastrophe”.

It is believed to be the first vessel lost since the Iran-backed Houthis began targeting commercial shipping in mid-November.

The ship was carrying more than 41,000 tons of fertiliser when it came under attack, the US military’s Central Command previously said.

On Monday, a Yemeni government team visited the Rubymar, a Belize-flagged, UK-owned cargo ship, and said it was partially submerged and could sink within a couple of days.
The US military previously said the attack had significantly damaged the freighter and caused an 18-mile oil slick.

100 years ago: the sun never set on their empire because they had the mightiest navy on the planet.

Fast forward to today: their home island has been overrun by goatfrickers, while their freighters are being sunk by other goatfrickers.

How the mighty have fallen.

The Brits are big boys, with the same toys we have. It's not our problem, no matter how much the forever warmongers beat their drums.

They’re busy trying to sell one their carriers. They can no longer afford to operate the HMS Prince of Wales.

It's at least as woke as the US Navy, so I'd guess that all of the line officers are in a seminar to discuss white privilege.

Long ago, life was clean
Sex was bad, called obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria
Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I'm poor, I am free
When I grow, I shall fight
For this land, I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria
Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the west to the east
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria
Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

How is this an environmental catastrophe? Fertilizer isn’t going to hurt anything

It's a shame no one's strong enough anymore to protect the seaways.
