Russia has only one aircraft carrier and that is over 30 years old....some threat; furthermore the fact that this so called flotilla passes through the extremely narrow channel deliniating international waters has no relevance whatsoever other than to place this Russian alleged threatening posture to be extremely vulnerable...it is strategic irrelevance and those commentators expanding this into some threat obviously have no concept of reality.

First off the UK does not as you put it bash Israel; those nonentities of the Corbyn Labour Party maybe but they have no practical or effective relevance within British politics other than to the Left of Left.
In fact the general voting pattern of the UK viz a viz Israel is often non commital at worse and pro Israel more often than not especially with the present PM.
The LibDems are only a shade less red than Labour and are if anything more irrelevant the the Raving Loony Party...yes that is the name of a perennial spoiler/joke party.
