British lives first

I am pretty staggered at the news about the overseas spending though. I had no idea.

It’s covered in their annual reports. Presumably simply saying “we spend 2% of our annual expenditure overseas in prevention work and we source major donations specifically for this purpose” sounds too reasonable and doesn’t have the same Daily Mail ring though.

It’s a shame that certain papers in the U.K. have put British lives at risk by winding up the gammons so much that long term donations may drop.

The article has backfired and led to an increase in donations or the RNLI
RNLI sees 'sharp increase' in donations following report criticising its overseas work

Isn't inews part of the Independent?
Will keep a watch on their end of year accounts to see which statement turns out to be more valid

A careful look at the RNLI charter reveals that they pledged to help all people from the threat of the seas. Not just the UK.

I was however dismayed by the sacking of a volunteer because he had a cheeky mug for his tea, that was idiotic.

Sacking was too much of a punishment.

But how about Veteran coastguards sacked for rescuing car from cliff edge after bosses told them to stand down . Really?

I think that's a bit short termist though. The comment along with the donation in the articles clearly states it's ind of a sympathy donation due to others not donating. It's highly likely most of these will be one off's when they are really losing their bread and butter yearly/regular donations in droves.

IMO they are absolutely ****ed which is such a shame for a noble cause such as this.

" The RNLI buys burkinis for Africans" and why not? They are eventually coming to work in the UK after Brexit anyway so they better learn to swim.

This would be quite funny if it wasn't true.

You need a foreigner to correct your spelling.

Im happy for anyone to do pointless tasks for me regardless of their country of origin.

Here, spell this one correctly for me prikc.

The comments after that news section show everything that is wrong with this once great Nation.

It is a minimal amount of nutters. I think most countries have them.

Though I would rather throw them out of the UK and let some migrants in instead.

You are a strange man. Calm down and try to be less angry.
