RNLI LITTLE BOAT ILLGAL IMMIGRANTS

Postby ronangel » Tue May 30, 2023 3:56 pm

Why are RNLI using their boats as a taxi service for illegal immigrants,with money donated by the public for saving of life at sea to this worthy cause?
If the Government are repaying them the costs then they are acting against their strict charter from the outset of the institution not to receive any government funding to remain independent as they have done from the outset. :evil:
If you agree Go and make a complaint to the board of directors as to why the money is spent like this at the annual general meeting maybe take members of the independent none MSM press with you!
Thursday 8 June 2023 From midday at AGM 30 Euston Square London NW12FB

Here is a link to their charter and bye laws:

https://rnli.org/about-us/how-the-rnli- ... d-bye-laws

Can’t see anything explicit but I did only skim read. I don’t know the details of the story but it’s likely they are having to apply for funds in much the same way as most charities do to enable them to do the work needed.

For an alternative view:

I don’t have a problem with the rescuing people in boats. If I had got to the point where I was desperate to risk my life that way I’d hope I wasn’t left to drown because ‘rules’.

A life is a life. They won’t stop coming just because it is risky. More immigration and border force staff would be a good step as they have difficulty recruiting and retaining staff.

Honestly, the RNLI is a brilliant charity, they are non-political; they will rescue anyone in the sea to stop them from dying. Sadly due to trolling this charity as had to invest a significant ammount of resources to combat trolling rather than getting on with their vital work.

It is inhumane to allow a child to drown due to their place of birth.

I will never give to the RNLI again - the way they are being a taxi service to illegal migrants, is beyond. 

For the RNLI boats to be full of young males only, has to ring alarm bells. Wake up everyone !

We need to wake up to the general amount of immigration. An increase of 600,000 in the last year (1.2m people arrived here - how many more that we don’t know about).

The pressure this puts on housing, education and the NhS will be significant. Its time to talk about this and Wandsworth Labour council don’t help, wanting to be a sanctuary for refugees - NO.

From section 18 accounts report 2021 on RNLI site.
We will not see accounts from 2022 until after the AGM  meeting.
Cant see in charter or other places But I know it is there, As I have been a Life governor since the late 1970s!
I will not be going to meeting personally as is my right Because they do an excellent selfless job apart from this rubbish, and would not want to upset anyone.I have also been out in rough seas in a small boat and large boats as I did Divers coxswain( helmsman) None commercial  training in the 70s for the oil rigs.And held an all waters pleasure helmsman certificate for many years.
------------------------------------------
The RNLI does not normally seek funding from government,
to ensure that we retain independence in all that we do to
save lives at sea. However, there are exceptions made where
such independence is not compromised.

For 2021, the need for furlough and wage subsidy
support diminished significantly as restrictions eased and
the RNLI adapted to new ways of working. As such, the RNLI
only claimed £0.5M in 2021 (2020: £6.1M), most of which
was from the Republic of Ireland (RoI) wage subsidy scheme
in the first quarter of 2021. A waiver was received in respect
of business rates for RNLI (Sales) Limited where shops have
been unable to open.
There are no unfulfilled conditions in respect of these
grants and no other government grants were received in
respect of Covid-19.
During 2021, the RNLI received funding from the
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, for the
total amount of £144,733 (2020: £228,681). These funds
were spent entirely on the project 'Reducing mortality and
improving early childhood development of children aged 1–4
in rural communities of Barisal, Bangladesh' under UK Aid
Match Grant Reference number: 205210-301. There was also
a grant from the Isle of Man Government of £46,804 (2020:
£29,000) for international work

Ronangel, thanks for posting this, it’s interesting. Can’t work out why they received grants for international work, but I don’t know, maybe that’s part of their remit? Presumably they would be restricted funds anyway.
Regardless, if the RNLI don’t engage with this work, what other possible avenues are there?
