Incredible mission creep..

BBc are reporting tonight the mission is now increasing somewhat...RN will now be looking to carry out search and destroy missions of the boats used to transport the refugees. Presumably this is along the south med coastline, in harbour, in Commando raids.
Did I hear it right? I've had a few pints.
They are all making it up as they go along. Once again UK forces are deployed into combat (which it is, no matter how you split it) and the matter is hardly even debated in Parliament.
I will try and find a source, unless someone can help me.?
This is on the radio news now, sort of slotted in at half time in the Chelsea/West Brom game somewhere in a story about the NHS and some other dross.
