Thumbs down TU-95 Enter British Airspace

Despite what Cameron said the TU-95s entered the London FIR, British Controlled Airspace, off the west coast of Cornwall chased by two typhoons. They crossed Civil Upper Air Routes being used by civil airliners. They were in Class C airspace! (Never even asked for a clearance Eventually the 'Bears' left British airspace and entered Irish airspace. I really cannot see how this can be acceptable.
