El Cid Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Why dont Government or local authorities NOT fund air ambullance or guide dogs, or perhaps they do partially fund them? What is more essential than the above, maybe you can think of others? How many 'essential' items does the Lottery fund for the NHS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they dont want Government money, I guess that means that they have plenty of money. https://rnli.org/footer/faqs/lifeboat-faqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlers Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Where. It sounds nonsense to me. The Press I saw was that the RNLI raised near £250,000 in a single day after a few Facebook warriors decide they would rather allow people to drown.

*Wallace* Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The RNLI is having to delay other rescue work because of the number of migrants it is now picking up in the Channel, it was claimed today. It came as some supporters stopped giving cash because lifeboats are heading into French waters to pick up migrants and the charity has been spending millions of pounds abroad including buying burkinis for children in Africa and funding nursery places in Bangladesh. Some withdrawing their support even compared it to the left-leaning National Trust, where irate members campaigned to oust its ‘worthless wokes’ leadership team after a series of controversial policies. Britain's lifeboat service has been accused of becoming a 'taxi service for people traffickers’ after it was revealed teams were going into French waters to pick up refugees in dinghies. One lifeboat expert working regularly in the Channel told MailOnline today: 'I’ve had a few RNLI crew tell me about them refusing to help boaters as they are too busy carrying people ashore'. The RNLI has been asked to comment. It came at a time when the number of lives lost in British water during the recent heatwave hit 13, including several children.
