Rather strange in the arrival of these three ships and other western navy ships, during the time of our important election when the wing is going against the current politics. The voting public should feel intimidated by these filthy tactics.

What rubbish comments above - obviously one-track mind and so backward! These ships are passing through. Let them enjoy our beautiful island.
