THE RNLI SOLD ITS SOUL!! I stopped donating years ago and I won’t give them another penny. The RNLI was created to save lives at sea in genuine emergencies. It has become a taxi service for illegal small boat crossings. They routinely take migrants on board after the French hand them over just inside British waters. In most cases no one is in real danger. The boats are not sinking. People are not drowning. They are simply being collected and delivered into Britain. A once-respected British charity now plays a central role in facilitating illegal entry. They will eventually launch a glossy PR campaign hoping the public has forgotten. Brits don’t forget. The trust is gone. The reputation is permanently blighted. Charity should never be used as a border-crossing service. Until the RNLI returns to its original purpose, it deserves nothing from the British public.
