Brexit, for once some facts.

Best write to your MEP expressing your indignation about porn in the workplace and the RNLI people smuggling conspriracy you've uncovered...

I’m not entirely sure what Nigel Farage being involved with the RNLI has to do with anything. The fact still remains that they are helping people enter the U.K. illegally. By providing a kind of insurance if things go wrong, they are also likely to be encouraging more people to take a chance at navigating one of the world’s busiest shipping areas on a Lilo. This can only end one way, Davey Jones’ locker for more than otherwise would have perished were it not for the RNLI’s inappropriate intervention.

Along with RNLI, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Border Force are involved in rescue operations - Don't forget Royal Navy and Royal Air Force need reminding of their responsibilities, and the NHS is implicated as well for providing care once these poor souls get to dry land.

I knew you’d get there in the end. Add in the French for not taking up their responsibilities.

Well the Queen is the top dog in the scheme of things with Her Majesty's Coastguard - with Charlie as Patron

Chris Grayling MP (Leaver) is Transport Sec possibly distracted by Drones

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is an executive agency responsible throughout Britain for implementing the Government’s maritime safety policy. That includes initiating and co-ordinating search and rescue at sea or on the coast through Her Majesty’s Coastguard, checking that ships meet British and international safety rules and preventing coastal pollution.

Typical emergencies to which the Coastguard is summoned include:

• Persons in difficulties in the water;
• Persons in difficulties on the coastline;
• Pleasure craft with problems;

Depending on the circumstances of each incident, the Coastguard CGOC may also request for other emergency services to be deployed to the incident or to meet other units returning from the incident, for example in the case of a medical emergency. A list of common 'Declared Assets' is below:

• HM Coastguard's own CRO (Coastguard Rescue Officers) Initial Response and Coastguard Rescue Teams;
• Inshore lifeboats, all-weather lifeboats and inshore rescue hovercraft operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution
• Other nominated inshore rescue services
• Search and rescue helicopters under contract to the MCA
• Ministry of Defence Helicopters and fixed wing aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy (RN)

Declared Assets are facilities that have given a declaration to the Coastguard of a certain level of availability or training. Other assets that may be tasked to assist with any incident include; Mountain Rescue, Military Police, The Fire and Rescue Service and volunteer lifeguards. In addition, various 'Memorandums of Understanding' exist between the Coastguard and other emergency services to establish priority when working in each other's areas. For example, police officers needing to carry out a search of the shoreline.


Hassan Rouhani head of Government in Iran is responsible for providing swimming lessons and not building a secure enough wall on his country's borders.

What was your level of contribution towards the RNLI? If you had Governor Membership at £102 pa or £8.50 a month then you've lost your policy influencing voting rights at the RNLI AGM. I'm sure you'll be sorely missed so careful from now on not to overfill your bath.

These "pour souls" were on dry land and in many cases safely in the African countries they've come from. All too often they are economic migrants jumping on the bandwagon that refugees from Syria's war created, and that's true even of many of the Syrians who weren't in any danger.

Only a tiny proportion of the over two to three millions who've entered Europe are genuine refugees, the vast majority are economic migrants. The answer to the problems of their countries is to put them right, not empty their populations into already overcrowded European countries to live another sub-standard life.

Fiver a month. Not anymore. I’d encourage others to cancel further payments. I’ve increased contributions to a local animal rescue centre by the same amount. A much more worthy cause.

I cancelled my RNLI subscription very many years ago for the same management and utility reasons you've given.

It seems that as charities become well established institutions they all get infected by the establishment in the same ways. It starts with highly placed establishmentfigures lending their status names as supporters directing the charity's policy, then leads on to the establishment of a totally unnecessary highly paid management structure.

The BBC's "Children in Need" charity I critically drew attention to recently in this web site is another case in point, created by establishment figures running an establishment institution. That charity is even worse since it should never have been created in the first instance.

Totally agree. Nearly all of the big name charities have been infiltrated by sickeningly greedy individuals who consider it their business to syphon off donated cash into their own pockets in the form of disgustingly high salaries. I no longer give money to any of them, preferring instead to help smaller volunteer based organisations with both money and time.

Children in need is a TV licence fee funded stunt created for TV luvies to feel better about themselves and to mutually appreciate each other. I dislike it with a passion.

Give your money to local volunteer based animal charities, they are much more deserving.

I haven't established a hierarchy but the French are pretty good at putting animals first too.

You can give directly to your local tramp, you know that the money will be reinvested immediately into a local brewery thus creating employement!

We're all animals, we are just a different species preferring not to favour ourselves perhaps?

Three migrants spotted in a small boat in the Channel have been brought ashore by the Border Farce.
The men were about 10 miles (16.5km) off France when French authorities spotted them after midnight, the Prefecture Maritime de la Manche said.

Then why were these criminals not returned to France immediately? Rewarding criminal activity with government sponsored assistance is entirely unacceptable. They should have been towed to the French coast and then their air bed punctured. This craziness is going to end with bodies washing up on both the French and British coastline. It needs stamping out.

Then why didn't the French pick them up? They also have a coastguard rescue service and a volunteer lifeboat service, so as the first to spot them they should have acted.

Precisely. I agree flecc.

This isn’t going to go well. It’s not like crossing the med. If these people end up in the water, they will be dead in under 5 minutes this time of year. The Germans know all about this, they laboratory tested the theory on human beings about 75 years ago. Timed how long it took a human to die in cold water.
