Why aren't the lifeboats returning the saved back to France?

Because the French do not want them , the French are quite happy to accept our money to control the migrants that is about as far as they go , they know the Brexit Vote was really about the migrants being stopped at the border and being controlled by France , it was supposed to be our answer to the migrant problem ( it aint worked) .

The RNLI are a rescue service we have other rescue services that will travel to the other side of the globe to rescue people , so for the RNLI to enter French Waters for a rescue is no big deal .

And if I might add, just spotted that cartoon of Miss Braverman. OK, the cartoon is a bit unfair on her but yes she does have a strange habit of dramatically throwing her head back to screech with laughter at very inopportune moments.

Because the French actively encourage drownings?

Am I right?

Twats !!

If you think you're being clever or funny, you're wrong.

I never normally agree with you SB, but you’re bang on in this one.

Volunteers, total volunteers, cannot be held responsible for the French and their laissez faire attitude.

They take our money, and blatantly keep allowing poor souls to endanger their lives/escort them to English waters.

What can this country do?

Nothing at all, apart from try our best to stop the involuntary manslaughter perpetrated by the French.

We should keep on saving these poor souls.

Any attempts of slurring our rescue services is unforgivable, they risk their lives daily.

This Countries border is different to say the USA , they have a wall and electric fence to control their border ,
Our border runs in the middle of the English Channel , ( not the best place for an electric fence)
The French cannot stop people getting into RIB`s and go for a sail in French Waters , whatever their destination ,
The only answer I can see is that the EU bans RIB`s, but then again the migrants would get another type of sailing vessel to cross the channel such is their desperation for a better life than the one they left behind .
They say History repeats itself we had the same situation in the 1930`s with the Jews leaving Europe because of Hitler , Daily Mail Headline at that time was that we were being invaded .
Daily Mail Headline 1930`s

RNLI In BIG Trouble. I'm Not Suprised!

Rolly - when the RW anti migrant lot come out with this shit donations to the RNLI actually INCREASE!

RNLI had a record year of donations after attacks from Farage and people are thrilled

Donations to RNLI rise as Britain First demands it loses charitable status

Donations to RNLI rise 3,000% after Farage’s migrant criticism

I'm not up to speed in this thread and I'm not wading thru 14 pages to find out what's already been said, but I will just add (in case no one has mentioned it yet) that recently the govt deliberately blocked all the safe routes of entry to the UK for asylum seekers. Hence the only option left for the very determined or desperate is to literally dice with death on very unsafe routes (in rough seas) often accompanied by small babies.

Here you go Text. This shows just how out of touch Sunak is.

East African-born Hindu parents of Indian Punjabi descent who came here as immigrants in the 60s. He's among those with a drawbridge mentality - 'I'm alright Jack, keep them out, fuck 'em'.

The RNLI are a charity and their VOLUNTEERS are committed to saving anyone that is in peril on the sea

they don't see nationality, race, gender, or religion

what a vile man

On our shores.
They're not meant to go off to other countries looking for victims.

3% of their launches were to migrant rescues during 2022, and there is no data as to where in the channel these took place

3% - yes 3%

but you carry on watching halfwit rightwing propaganda, decent people increased their donations when Farage tried the same trick, so perhaps unwittingly this moron's 'observations' might do the same - I certainly hope so

And the busiest Lifeboat station in the UK is on the Thames. Interestingly the main funders of the RNLI are the Freemasons that famously gammon filled cesspit of the RW, I should know yet the Brixham Lodge True Love and Unity (no. 248) opens it's windows into Lyme Bay and emits a gutsy rendition of 'Eternal Father, Strong to Save' with an emphasis on For those in peril on the sea.

Do these people want their grandkids to be washed out in a riptide at a popular beach rather than being dragged back by RNLI lifeguards on jetski's, do they want the next tanker disaster to be ignored because they're foreigners?

[Stooo]

Under the current rules, the UK is not permitted to return migrants to France. Before Brexit, the UK was able to send back return failed asylum seekers to the European country where they first arrived. This permitted option was rarely used, however, as it was often difficult and time-consuming.

The Dublin agreement has been ignored everytime that it's brought up.

Since the beginning of time Stooo people have have been classed as worthy or unworthy because of skill sets knowledge talents abilities attitude etc and it will always be so.

Well I'm against that sort of thing, are you?

FFS!
Not at all.

You don't think that all people are equal and deserve the same rights?

I do, everyone, all over the world.
I hope that day will come.
We have a long way to go, by just looking at this country.

Lordy stop encouraging this nonsense!
