    Default The illustrious RNLI

    good afternoon all.

    just a little news from yesterday on the ongoing saga of the RNLI, it seems that a course being run in hoylake on the wirral in merseyside for the crew of a inshore lifeboat that where housed in a local hotel, they where surprised to see their personal items taken from their individual rooms packed into their suitcases and left in the hallway, and when they enquired what was happing they where told they where being moved out of their rooms to allow refugee albanians to move into them.

    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.

    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.
