I think, as is often the case, there is a bit of hysteria here.

The Royal Navy being involved in a crisis at sea, involving refugees, migrants and people smugglers is not an unusual or wrong state of affairs. It's what they do. I think you do the navy a disservice if you think they are only capable of firing missiles at people. A huge amount of their work is humanitarian.

On the BBC..I'm a big supporter of it. I think it's funding model is archaic but it is good value for money. I also think some of the accusations of bias are fair and something the BBC itself recognising it needs to address. The news website in particular stands out for me, in terms of the news agenda and what they decide to make as the main stories (which is often different to the six o clock TV news btw).

Talk of nazis, as ever, is way overblown.
