It's really interesting, isn't it?
Because you can tell from the tone of the prime minister's post online that a lot of people in the British government will want to shout about this.
They'll say, look, this is a way of taking the fight to the Russians.
It's very visible.
They've released the pictures.
They didn't have to do that.
They obviously want the public to be aware that this is going on.
But as Frank was hinting there, this is a ratcheting up.
You know, what happens if...
there was to be another event like this and actually there was a Russian military capability there guarding and perhaps they wanted to retaliate in some way.
I'm not saying that's going to happen, but such an activity like this is a ratcheting up, isn't it?
That's right.
And Al Carnes, who was one of the ministers who quit this week, was the Armed Forces Minister.
Before he came into politics, he was a Marine.
He was then in the Special Boat Service.
And he told us this morning there might be more operations like this.
And he also explained a little bit about the kind of thing that would have actually gone on.
And how is it the case, though, that this hasn't happened for such a long time?
Because the government made quite a lot of noise about saying, look, we will do this.
There are these ships moving through the channel, seemingly quite regularly, helping to finance Putin's war in Ukraine.
