Yes, four RNLI staff on a training course, 1 crew volunteer and 3 office staff, of course the volunteer doesn't get paid, but the office staff are on salary, now that tells you all you need to know

#1 that holiday inn has been used often by refugees. 2019/2020 during the pandemic. I wonder how those RNLI folk felt about being evicted from the Hoylake holiday inn. Probably relieved I would have thought.

Maybe it would be better if the RNLI took a holiday when these people arrive.

Strange how the RNLI and border force can find them in the channel, but they manage to launch and board all these people from French beaches without anyone being able to find them on dry land.

Simple, the RNLI and other shipping has a thing called a compass.
Those in Vrance have what is known as a blind eye, maybe even two of them.

Re: The illustrious RNLI
Calais is now a part of Albania. The French have surrendered it to the Albanian mafia who are now in the process of setting up a sub office in Dover Kent.
Got to hand it to the Albanians they seem to have better travel arrangements than Easy Jet & Ryanair.
There marketing policy seems to be have ticket you WILL travel.
On the news the other night it showed you the living conditions that the economic refugees were living in in France. The cheeky barstewards are complaining about living conditions in Manston Kent.
