However, as the RNLI said, “Our lifeboats operate under international maritime law, which states we are permitted and indeed obligated to enter the waters of other territories for search and rescue purposes… Our lifesavers are compelled to go to those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water.”

Johnsons government is nothing but a bunch of racist scum using dog whistle tactics to summon up their swamp dwellers.

As if foghorn Farage hasn't been enough, that racist rag has also gone full on against the RNLI claiming they've been "turning down calls from stricken boaters as they're too busy carrying migrants ashore" and supporters have cancelled donations. The fucking lying twats need calling out on this as they're publishing defamatory remarks against the RNLI bordering on libel.

The RNLI have no intention to be controlled by the government and would prefer to exist from donations. They do it to save lives, nothing else.

Pratti is pure evil. I thought May was nasty during her tenure as HS but this one is Ambassador for the Devil.


She is free to set up an alternative service.

Why would it piss off the Government? They can save money by letting the RNLI escort migrants instead of having to pay someone to do it.


The donations pay for all of that, i'm not sure how it all works when they land, do they get medical treatment or checks or do they just run off as soon as they can ? :dunno:

They go to Rags house for a hot meal followed by cheese and biscuits. They return the hospitality by giving her some diversity training. :mrgreen:


A hot meal? Only if it's heated in the microwave. :mrgreen:

I doubt these lifeboat folks have any arrest powers. I'm sure they radio the authorities and let them know they are bringing folks ashore.

We have nothing like this in the US that I know of.

Our Coast Guard is now federal law enforcement and must follow federal law. Cubans caught at sea are returned to Cuba (what happens to them there is anyone's guess).

Cubans and Haitians are much better off if they can get picked up by private individuals, or better yet, make it to Florida.

When you say almost you of course mean that it couldn't function anywhere near as effectively without a close working relationship with the Coast Guard, the Military who it can call for support and let's not forget those nice people at the Met Office.

I'm impressed with it to be honest. Folks operating a life saving service on a voluntary basis.

Seems like it works very well and could be a model for a lot of other services. :wink:

They get a lot of money and a lot of support from the government too but yes it works well.

As a child many of us gave to a variety of Blue Peter appeals - Blue Peter was a popular children's TV show at the time - and gave drinks cans, milk bottle tops and old paperbacks to give a number of lifeboats to coastal towns that have saved hundreds of lives over the years



This says they don't.

Our lifeboat service receives no UK government funding and less than 2% of the RNLI’s total funding comes from government sources.

As a charity, 92% of our total income comes from donations and so our lifesaving service relies on the generosity of our supporters. Read more about how your support helps.

It's a great service operated almost exclusively outside the rhelm of government.

That's probably why it's so effective. :leer:

I mean that the Government can just let the public pay for it via donations instead of using taxes.

I don't know what happened to the migrants/refugees - I haven't read anything about what happened after they reached the shore.
