This from Alistair Pearce, Totland. Ed
As HMS Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s largest warship, is deployed to the Indo Pacific, the First Sea Lord, Admiral Tony Radakin says,
“It is a tangible expression of how the country can go out into the world. And so we have a fantastic new capability and when we deploy, it speaks to our values, our interests, what we stand for.”
The Government insists it is not about seeking a confrontation with China, this is more about boosting trade and diplomatic ties in the region.
Lord Peter Ricketts said,
“Making it there and back to the Indo Pacific is a gesture.”
So, it’s not an Anglo-American threat then?
