If there was no demand, there would be no smuggling!
Should be patrolling the channel , I don't care what happens over there
All this over a natural plant
Cant our government sell it to fund the NHS
they should be at the uk borders instead of acting cosplay out there
If they can seize 40 million of cocaine in the Caribbean then why aren’t they here protecting our island nation?
So the so called ROYAL British NAVY can cruse the Caribbean sea for drug dealers BUT CAN NOT PROTECT THE BORDERS round the UK and protect the very people they are meant to HOPE YOU BOYS HAD A GOOD PARTY after stopping ONE boat so why not come back and stop all the boats invading your country……
The drug draling British Empire used to run drugs into China
Never mind cruising the Caribbean they should be here in the Chanel stopping the migrants.
What about stoping dinghys?
There is going to be to be some celebration aboard that ship the weekend
They need to be in the channel between Britain and France, to keep the illegal immigrants from crossing the channel
£551.5 million, cor blimey enough to buy a few new boats.
As for the Royal Navy being in the channel to "Stop the Boats" a few refugees don't ruin lives despite what Farage etc say, but drug addiction does.
Royal Navy can bob for bricks of coke in the Caribbean but incapable of stopping a flotilla of dinghies hitting our beaches. Defund the RN!!
WHAT THE FCK YOU DOIN ALL THE WAY OVER THERE . HAVE YOU SEEN THE BOATS COMING TO BRITAIN . BRITISH GOVERNMENT FFS 🖕
How about they get their arses back here
And patrol our waters
Forget the Caribbean, protect the children of your country.
Looks like the tories are going to be a bit iritable for a few days.
Why is this Navy boat not in the Channel protecting our shores?
Oh dear. If only the Green Death knew they were merely confiscating to hand back to the circular narcotics industry. The deal starts in Afghanistan where the CIA and MI6 control the opium supply. The Taliban oversee the growers and get paid to supply the agencies. Left behind military equipment makes them more mobile and more threatening to the farmers now.
The drugs are shipped to the West and sold to the cartels for distribution and government collects the tax, that they never collected before, in the form of seizures.
Yet these traitors refuse to defend Britain.
The Moronic small boats brigade out in full force…
Yet they can't patrol the English Channel and arrest the criminals in the dinghies breaching our borders?
Think protecting our shores would be better
Drug runners are the only force the Royal Navy can handle. The Houthis forced UK warship to return home. Pathetic underfunding/USA dependency. Maybe stop paying for migrants and invest in the military yea?
How about coming home to defend our borders? 🇬🇧
Wouldn't suprise me if in a few month's, the headline reads, 'Deadly Batch of cocain found in the U.K'. 😂. Feds mixed it up to off all the coke and crackheads
Number 10 Downing Street is gonna have a hell of a party
Why they there for?? 🤔 They should be protecting our shores
😂😂😂
I think it's pretty obvious the powers that be are taking the pi55 out of the public, this shower and the former shower alike.
And it will be the military that distribute s back onto the streets.😅
Oh dear, the politicians will be disappointed, now what will they entertain themselves with?
So glad you're doing that instead of stopping the drugs and guns coming into the country via illegal immigrants, being mules to pay for their trips. But hey, well done guys.
Can't stop small boats eh!!
Can we concentrate on british news please. I haven't got a boat.
Its not your jurisdiction
what is a European nations navy doing in the Caribbean? Its the British royal navy. should be patrolling Britain.
WHO CARES??!! GET THEM IN THE CHANNEL!!!
Next shipment is already on the way ….its calculated in the costs
Why's the Royal navy been reduced to being a branch of the D E A?
Seize or collect there weekly package ??
Best boat trip ever
the comments are packed with idiots… British territories exist overseas. "patrolling the english channel" yeah thats the job of the RNLI you idiots. theres a reason you guys are not in the navy, i doubt you lot even have a job.
For everyone saying the Navy needs to be patrolling the channel, it’s not their job and the RN is an important force globally. It’s the job of the BORDER FORCE (Even in the name) to stop the boats, the RN has far more important things to do. That’s what the military is there to do, it’s like asking the Paras to man the desks at Heathrow – don’t be absurd – it’s not their fucking job. It’s dangerous because your poor attitude will mean in the future the RN, RAF and Army will be tiny and only be UK based, reducing the UK’s power even further. Be proud of what our sailors, soldiers and aviators do.
