Don’t bring the fabulous RNLi in to your filthy journalistic standards

Well done. The RNLI and the magnificent number of donations. These people who criticise and troll the RNLI for rescuing migrants should be ashamed. Don’t agree with them being allowed to stay but watching children drown is utterly heartless and despicable. What if it was you?

afneil The donations were probably to pay for extra fuel to help take them safely back to the safe country they’ve just come from.

afneil Bet your pleased, Andrew, that your colleague Farage has put GB News at the head of the people’s war against the RNLI.

afneil Why

But how many long term supporters have they lost?

What people fail to realise is the people helping these illegal immigrants are also almost certainly involved in other serious crimes, I:e, trafficking women into the uk or Europe for the sex industry (rape) and drug smuggling.

Probably donated by media such as yourselves , so a one off payment ? that's if its even true MSM not exactly paragons of honesty which is why your viewing figures are plummeting !😂

afneil Does this mean that people only give donations to the RNLI because they are rescuing people from the channel? They rescue people all year across the British Isles and they deserve it all the time for the risk they take.

That should cover the CEO's salary!

It’s a very noble thing to do, but it can only encourage more to risk their lives crossing the channel. And a reminder that they are fleeing France

We're gonna need a bigger boat!

If youre someone who thinks people should be left to drown because they're trying to get to the UK to claim asylum; You need to ask yourself what kind of a human being you are.

afneil It says it all about the sanctimonious, virtue signalling left that it takes someone they dislike (Farage) to criticise the RNLI before they'll donate to the institution they so proudly profess their love and admiration for.

It’s like paying a bribe to the police. Just makes it harder for the next good guys .

afneil Are you fucking joking?

Love this, up yours Farage!!
