00:06You've got some flack over the weekend for suggesting that British forces were just hanging
00:11around in the Middle East. Do you think that's a remark that you need to apologise?
00:15I've been asked this several times. I was criticising the government that they're not
00:18doing enough and they are the ones hanging around. HMS Dragon is still in Portsmouth
00:24well over a week after it should have left. France has sent about 10 ships to the Mediterranean.
00:29The French president is in Cyprus. We have a base in Cyprus. We are the ones who have a base
00:34in
00:34Cyprus. What's our prime minister doing? And instead what he's trying to do is use the soldiers
00:38as a human shield so that he is not being criticised. I think that's absolutely disgusting.
00:43The prime minister knows that I'm criticising him and his actions and claiming that it's the military
00:49that are being criticised when it's them means that they actually do not care about getting this
00:54right. All they care about is covering themselves and I think that that is a disgrace.
