This is a shocking waste of both time and equipment. They are paid to Defend our Realm, not lark about on military equipment which has been paid for by the taxpayer. I can't believe they daubed slogans on the met balloon - this might affect its ability to gather vital data. It's even possible that the balloon was released solely for this video which would be an appalling and unjustifiable misuse of an expensive item. Maybe HMS Ocean should be sent back to sea for Christmas until they learn how they should conduct themselves. I blame weak leadership from the Officers.
