Re: Channel taxi service
Des, no more pennies now mate, they have found a way to get to Uk without them.
Not just from Africa now and not all black.
Pity most of them cannot swim, or if the plug comes out maybe a good thing!!!!!

Re: Channel taxi service
The RNLI is tasked by the Coast Guard and do not get a choice as to which “shouts” they attend, it is unfair to critique the RNLI for attending when they do not get a choice.

Re: Channel taxi service
Sorry but you are wrong they are a voluntary organisation and it is up to them if they go "shouts"
I have nothing against the crews but the Admin is something else.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institute has been forced to defend its work saving lives overseas after an article on the Mail Online sparked an angry backlash on social media.
The story highlighted how the charity – famed for its distinctive orange lifeboats manned by volunteers – spends £3.3m a year on projects in Tanzania and Bangladesh yet has been forced to cut around 100 jobs in the UK.
The overseas projects include:
The Panje Project teaches which women swim survival skills in Zanzibar. The burkini, which is a full length swim suit is an innovative (and cheap) way of enabling girls in strict ****** countries, to get into the water without compromising their cultural and religious beliefs
The Creches for Bangladesh programme which helps reduce children’s risk of drowning by ensuring they have close supervision throughout the day. Around 40 children a day die from drowning in Bangladesh
William is this how you want your RNLI money spent??
