Nice to see a fundraiser set up in response to this is doing well. £1,698 so far.
There is nothing wrong with picking up people from boats, but RNLI should just drop it off on the French side. They would still save their lives.
Of all the achievements the last Tory government can list, turning the perception of the RNLI for the simple minded among us from vital emergency service into a floating taxi service for foreign rapists must rank up there with the best.
Hope they continue this great work after their rebrand to Reform.

These are your right-wing voters people. This is who puts the flags on lampposts.
Dorset. Sorry but who would expect anything less from Dorset.
Lots of folks here saying they’d pay double if the RNLI took them back to France. Personally I’d pay triple that cost if the RNLI shipped all the bigots to France.
Not seeing the issue. You don’t fund something that can be used a way you object too.
The rnli shouldn’t be a charity anyway. It should be public funded.
Under international law (and iirc its in British law as well) anyone who is in a position to do so has to rescue anyone they can at sea. That includes during war time if they were literally shooting at you ten minutes earlier.
Also, separately, its a specific offence under UK law (section 17 of the Offences Against The Person Act) to prevent someone escaping from a shipwreck, and that has a max of life in prison. That law has literally never been used, but I point it out in case anyone gets ideas.
The no benches at the bus shelter mentality. Some people are willing to leave 10,000 people with nowhere to sit if that’s the price of stopping one homeless person from getting a free place to sleep.
This really does give you some idea of the depths of human vileness. “It’s fine for fishermen and sailors to die at sea as long as refugees also die.” Much has been written on the psychology of evil – well, here it is firsthand. There’s a kind of person, more common than we’d like to think, who’s simply itching for the chance to cause suffering. If there’s collateral damage, well, that’s the price others have to pay for some petty-minded Daily Express reader to get their jollies.
I mean… yeah?
RNLIs first priority is rescuing anyone in difficulty at sea.
They’re not gonna ask for a passport while someone is drowning. They’re not gonna be like „wait are these in distress brown or white?“ They’re not the coastguard.
They’re air/sea rescue. I don’t get how people even miss that
Group of senile oldies from Christchurch, Britain’s retirement home. Nothing to see here.
