Strange but unsurprising endgame.

Interesting end to all of this. Bulwark picked up 4747 people on its operations. And whatever your views on that one has to say well done them for doing their part as ordered.
HMS Enterprise has so far picked up zero people. Despite the leaders of the UK trying to reassure the House of Commons that humanitarian support would continue.
Interesting how the Govt will react to news, veer policy accordingly and fib when it suits them.
Also its very obvious how we need ( and presently totally lack) a good firm opposition in the HoC to hold ministers accountable to how the UK Armed Forces are used. And boy the Navy were "used" here.
