'UK has been colonised by immigrants'

Apart from the RNLI they can swivel until they stop shipping in immoral queue jumpers.

The RNLI is entirely a volunteer service, and their sailors put their lives at risk to save the lives of others.

When the call goes out, when the flare goes up, they don’t think about politics – all they think is that someone at sea is in distress, and they need their help.

A couple of comments from them:

Our volunteers get out of bed in the middle of the night, leave their employment, leave their families, and go out and do this because they believe in doing the right thing. Never doubt their commitment to that.

We do not judge those we rescue – where we believe there is a risk to life at sea, we will always launch in response to a call from HM Coastguard,

And sometimes when these volunteer crews get back to shore they are abused by people for “shipping in immoral queue jumpers".

Since their founding in 1824 they’ve saved 146,000 lives.

The memorial at Poole carries over 600 names of crew who have lost their lives saving others.


And you castigate these heroes, who probably more than anybody encapsulate honour, and courage, and the seafaring tradition of this country, because you don't like the people they are saving.
 
A quick google of "RNLI Salaries" confirms it's not one entirely volunteer service. Lifeguards, mechanics and skippers are all paid
 
Even when, as someone who has an air-sea rescue helicopter as his avatar, you join in attacking the RNLI because you think they should use politics as a criterion for deciding whose lives to save?
Where on earth did that come from? Are you out boozing with highway man?
