I think it lacks quite a lot of substance.
It does feel like Operation Isotrope, as you say, in January 22, when Priti Patel, who was Home Secretary, kind of lobbed this grenade at the Navy and said...
and said, fix it, and then really didn't empower them to fix many of the things that they could have helped with.
So I think there's a notion that the Royal Navy can steam over the horizon and fix this problem, which, as you say, is declining slightly anyway.
The reality, when you start looking at what ships we have,
which is basically none.
I mean, he's talking about the largest maritime operation in the channel since World War II, a very evocative image, but that's not the reality.
We don't have the ships.
And then if you do bring your ships to bear and you start investigating what exactly you're going to do with them and where, then that starts to unravel quite quickly.
Bye.
