Thank god most sailors are responsible people and would not set sail in an unseaworthy vessel and do not put themselves in danger on purpose. With all the staycations this year lets hope they are not over stretched and people who find themselves in trouble are still able to make use of their excelent services. | |||

"Never let it be said that a thread about a Tory supporting newspaper slating the rnli and questioning why it should be rescuing immigrants,would be deflected into a discussion on the French and staycations."

The RNLI is a service of last resort to save those in danger, not to pick up the mess this government has left through incompetence arrogance. | |||

""The duty to rescue There is a duty pursuant to international law for a ship to attempt the rescue of persons at danger at sea. This duty is based on a long-standing and strongly felt moral obligation among seafarers. This is stated, for example, in the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Article 98 the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), Regulation V-33. All states recognize this duty. One implication of this rule is that a state cannot legally prohibit its vessels from rescuing persons at sea: states must accept that their vessels engage in rescue operations. In the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR), coastal states undertake the role to coordinate the SAR in respect of persons in specified areas (Article 2.3). There is a duty to organize such services (UNCLOS Article 98 and SOLAS, Regulation V-7). There are no provisions in the SAR convention that the particular state in charge of a specific area can direct foreign vessels whether to assist or not. Within the 12 nautical miles of territorial waters, the state has general jurisdiction on other grounds (including the right to direct vessels how to assist or not to assist), but this jurisdiction does not extend to ships in passage assisting other vessels (UNCLOS Articles 17-18)."

It seems to me as though that failing is the root cause? | |||

"As a current seafarer with alot of experience dodging the migrants coming accross. The french do pick them up butfrom time to time have been see to be "keeping an eye" on their movements. Until they become dover coastguards problem.. Under SOLAS they would be rescued if in danger by any ship hence why the ships get asked, do they have lifejacket on.. Keep doing what you best at RNLI thats saving lives and ignore the idiots "Great to have an informed poster but why are these vessels in danger AFTER they leave French waters and not before? | |||

"Gammons ripping into the rnli into blaming the french in 3 easy steps
ClassicWho on here has ripped into the RNLI ?
The French must have such a crap boarder control if they cannot detect boats a mile from their shores, i wonder if it would be the same if it was drugs going into France rather than immigrants leaving.
The French could turn these boats around a mile or so from the shore but instead are quiet content for them to endanger their lives and put money into criminals pockets such a caring nation i bet they must be really proud.
Exactly! It's convenient for the French to get shot of them, despite being paid by the British Government
Sorry to talk about the actual topic.. but what's that got to do with what Farage and his ilk have said about the rnli?I havnt actually read what he said but the RNLI is there to save anyone. Thank god most sailors are responsible people and would not set sail in an unseaworthy vessel and do not put themselves in danger on purpose.
With all the staycations this year lets hope they are not over stretched and people who find themselves in trouble are still able to make use of their excelent services."Going to sea off the coast of Cornwall in an inflatable swan is pretty much irresponsible so let’s hope the mail tells the RNLI to not rescue those either. Imagine the British coastguard letting those irresponsible idiots sail from our coast. | |||

"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-57999224 The RNLI obviously making stories up again. What type of low life would go and do that? Well apart from Farage obviously. Clearly didn't read what I wrote. You seem to be arguing with yourself again as not one person here is abusing the RNLI. Quite the opposite in fact." But the mail is and those ignorant arseholes on the beach are too. This is the Britain of Brexit. Disgusting and embarrassing. The mail is a vehement supporter of Boris for tax and anti immigration reasons and he aligns himself with their views. Makes you proud to be part of our culturally diverse and tolerant nation. Attacking the RNLI is yet another new low in this country. Shameful. | |||

As I've already stated, surely the very people who you are speaking to (posters on this forum) actually count for something. I'm fairly sure that an outstanding majority support the RNLI in what they do and couldn't give a flying fuck what the mail or Farage are saying. Just because any particular person reads an article in a newspaper or hears something a 2bit politician says doesn't actually mean the agree or believe. | |||

"Only on this forum could the fact that immigrants leave a French shore to attempt to cross 50 miles of one of the busiest sea lanes in the world in flimsy boats and try to land on UK shores, and it be a deflection to mention the French with regard to it being part of the solution. Now there is 'priceless' if you ever did see it!!! To a previous poster, the UK has paid over £154 million in the last 3 years to the French to assist with the problem. It needs a solution. That saves lives and is workable for everyone - not least of which the migrants." Yep.

"The article is solely about Farage and the daily mail attacking the actions actions of the rnli. Unless you are belmg blissfully ignorant there is an obvious connection here to the "tough'srance on immigration by the uk gmnt. However in a totally unsurprising move ,the blame has been shifted to the feench gmnt. once again,there is a theme of 'nothing to see here'despite the story appearing in almost every major media outlet in the country. It appears to be another one of those topics we aremt supposed to talk about, much like johnson having his flat decorated. Obviously that's absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we have a gmnt who have decided that immigrants need to be degumsmised and their lackeys in the media have followed suit. Maybe at some point ,someone will say what the rnli should so,which seems to be what the entire story is about. Hence the video they have put out." How many times?? The RNLI have a huge support across the country. I'm gonna hazard a guess and say the support for them is way above 90%. Fuck Farage and The Mail. I'm not sure we could be any clearer in our support for the RNLI. | |||

"Just to add Lionel: farage and his gang of arseholes should be called out on that too! The RNLI is apolitical, and should stay that way and glad to read the statement issued by them. They are an emergency rescue service of last resort, not there to sort out government fuck ups! And lionel, I disagree with you on the French, they'll be happy to offload these people and i suspect if they think a boat looks like it'll make it across i wouldn't be surprised if they let it go " Well seeing as the story appeared in one of the biggest supporters of the gmnt, I'm sure they will be along to dissociate themselves from it any minute now. There is a genuine anti migrant feeling in the country right now,fuelled by the gmnts stance and also the headlines in many of the newspapers, which also played a significant role in brexit. | |||

"What happened in Greece, Italy and Spain over the last few years, is now being played out in Kent, Sussex and Essex. Once a trickle starts being a flood, then hostility will rise. Its a problem that's very hard to stop, and some locals are getting angry. Solutions are not easy. And yes, people will exploit the situation for political capital. " Hostility has been rising for years. Not helped by a gmnt which are happy to ignore the human rights of said immigrants. The grown up solution would be a cross country resolution. However it's much easier to score political points by being tough on immigration. The fact that other countries take significantly more migrants than we do,seems tobe lost in the debate. | |||

Now there is 'priceless' if you ever did see it!!! To a previous poster, the UK has paid over £154 million in the last 3 years to the French to assist with the problem. It needs a solution. That saves lives and is workable for everyone - not least of which the migrants. Yep. It's like some nutcase walking around a swimming pool pushing people into the deep end but nobody is allowed to talk about the nutcase Standard though and shows where people's moral compass really is and how eager they are to believe in nonsense stories and invented conflicts in the press So now it didnt actually happen Welcome the post truth era Like I said in my previous post which you ignored Farage used to volunteer for the RNLI If you still want to believe fabricated conflicts whipped up by the press then go ahead. But dont be surprised when the rest of us aren't so easily taken in Are you suggesting Farage didn't say it?or because he alledgly used to work for them ,this gives him carte blanche to criticise them? The RNLI put out a video claiming that were abused when rescuing refugees which according to you is'fabricated' It's a tough one to call. The RNLI or you. Then what does Farage saying that the RNLI is being misused as a taxi service have to do with it? They are and people are now quitting the service because of it But like I say, you carry on believing the press saying that Farage attacked the RNLI and people with common sense will carry on ignoring their fabrications So lets just get this straight Farage has said the rnli is being used as a taxi service.. we can agree on that? The rnli then issued a statement and a video ,defending what they do. But you dont think Farage was criticising the RNLI? The RNLI video is not remotely a defence of themselves, it doesn't even mention this fabricated 'attack' from Farage. They're talking about their experiences and the pressure that they are now under Again you are as desperate to distribute this nonsense as the press are to print it " I think that bears repeating That rnli video is not remotely a defence of itself. A video which explicitly shows what and why they do it,is not a defence of itself. There really is no arguing with that. Farage is on twitter directly talking about the rnli picking a fight..and it's still 'fabricated ' When something happens..simply deny it It's the trump way. | |||

"So to sum up Farage has accused the rnli of being a taxi service for migrants He has accused the rnli of picking a fight with him in the guardian He has questioned the pr team (All actual quotes) But none of the above equates to actual criticism
Another day in la la land."So to sum up... The last 2 are correct. That means both happened. The first one is far from correct. That means that whilst the words you write are true but you're very purposefully leaving out the context.

"Gammons ripping into the rnli into blaming the french in 3 easy steps
ClassicWho on here has ripped into the RNLI ?
The French must have such a crap boarder control if they cannot detect boats a mile from their shores, i wonder if it would be the same if it was drugs going into France rather than immigrants leaving.
The French could turn these boats around a mile or so from the shore but instead are quiet content for them to endanger their lives and put money into criminals pockets such a caring nation i bet they must be really proud.
Exactly! It's convenient for the French to get shot of them, despite being paid by the British Government
Sorry to talk about the actual topic.. but what's that got to do with what Farage and his ilk have said about the rnli?I havnt actually read what he said but the RNLI is there to save anyone. Thank god most sailors are responsible people and would not set sail in an unseaworthy vessel and do not put themselves in danger on purpose.
With all the staycations this year lets hope they are not over stretched and people who find themselves in trouble are still able to make use of their excelent services.
Going to sea off the coast of Cornwall in an inflatable swan is pretty much irresponsible so let’s hope the mail tells the RNLI to not rescue those either. Imagine the British coastguard letting those irresponsible idiots sail from our coast.
Daft post...if the guardian told you to jump?????
The RNLI risk their lives for such idiots on a daily basis. Why should they bother? Why do they go out to sea in a fucking swan? Same principal as the accusations of the immigrants being foolish.
Saving idiots on inflatables could risk the RNLI being too busy to rescue sailors from a ship in trouble.
Your tolerance seems at a low level and besides as has already been highlighted it's illegal to leave French shores in such vessels"Your inability to see the irony is simple staggering. An volunteer organisation is being criticised in the right wing media and by fanatical beach watchers like Farage for saving lives . Do you get that bit?? | |||

"What happened in Greece, Italy and Spain over the last few years, is now being played out in Kent, Sussex and Essex. Once a trickle starts being a flood, then hostility will rise. Its a problem that's very hard to stop, and some locals are getting angry. Solutions are not easy. And yes, people will exploit the situation for political capital. Hostility has been rising for years. Not helped by a gmnt which are happy to ignore the human rights of said immigrants. The grown up solution would be a cross country resolution. However it's much easier to score political points by being tough on immigration. The fact that other countries take significantly more migrants than we do,seems tobe lost in the debate.Tell that to all the immigrants that live in eu funded camps in Turkey." Yes mostly Syrians Tell me again who was doing the vast majority of the bombing there? | |||

Please go watch the video before coming back to me."Farage claims RNLI backers are complaining as they don’t want to pay fo them to become part of the border force . No evidence to back this up. Then as I stated the beach watchers “like” Farage ( he’s a beach and boat watcher ) were criticising the RNLI for bringing in migrants . They would rather they left them to the elements instead of making sure they don’t die . That is saving lives Farage has tweeted to say “I stand by my comment that the RNLI is being used as a taxi service “. Criticism again. He then goes on to challenge them to a fight as in his words “I’ve taken on uglier and bigger people than the RNLI.” What a despicable character for anyone to support in anyway. The comment that those refugees were paying up to £20k each to cross. Utter crap exaggerated by media . If they had £20k to gamble they wouldn’t need to come to the U.K. If it’s 30k refugees as he claims it will be are we going to sink?? We need the workers blatantly. So pick them up process them and educate them into our society. I’m not sure why we are getting so much horrific abuse aimed at people desperately trying to get a better life and in many cases away from the war zones we create . If English is their second language then Britain is the target . Happy to blow up their country but not happy to offer a hand. With the cuts in foreign aid expect more of the same . | |||

"Gammons ripping into the rnli into blaming the french in 3 easy steps
ClassicWho on here has ripped into the RNLI ?
The French must have such a crap boarder control if they cannot detect boats a mile from their shores, i wonder if it would be the same if it was drugs going into France rather than immigrants leaving.
The French could turn these boats around a mile or so from the shore but instead are quiet content for them to endanger their lives and put money into criminals pockets such a caring nation i bet they must be really proud.
Exactly! It's convenient for the French to get shot of them, despite being paid by the British Government
Sorry to talk about the actual topic.. but what's that got to do with what Farage and his ilk have said about the rnli?I havnt actually read what he said but the RNLI is there to save anyone. Thank god most sailors are responsible people and would not set sail in an unseaworthy vessel and do not put themselves in danger on purpose.
With all the staycations this year lets hope they are not over stretched and people who find themselves in trouble are still able to make use of their excelent services.
Going to sea off the coast of Cornwall in an inflatable swan is pretty much irresponsible so let’s hope the mail tells the RNLI to not rescue those either. Imagine the British coastguard letting those irresponsible idiots sail from our coast.
Daft post...if the guardian told you to jump?????
The RNLI risk their lives for such idiots on a daily basis. Why should they bother? Why do they go out to sea in a fucking swan? Same principal as the accusations of the immigrants being foolish.
Saving idiots on inflatables could risk the RNLI being too busy to rescue sailors from a ship in trouble.
Your tolerance seems at a low level and besides as has already been highlighted it's illegal to leave French shores in such vessels
Your inability to see the irony is simple staggering.
An volunteer organisation is being criticised in the right wing media and by fanatical beach watchers like Farage for saving lives . Do you get that bit??

"Has has also tweeted that the rnli have attacked him in the guardian and criticised their pr team. Apparently none of this constitutes criticism and it's a complete coincidence that the RNLI have issued a video defending what they do. None of this is related to farages 'fabricated'quotes. | |||

Farage did say he has taken on bigger corporations in the one I watched. He also said it should be a job for Border Force or the Navy and not left up to the RNLI volunteers to pick up their slack. I'm all for saying Fuck Farage if he wants people to die but let's not get into 'he said this' when in fact if you watch the video he is not criticising them for saving lives as some would like to believe. | |||

Although what this means is..he shook a few tins when he was out canvassing. | |||

"I agree, No one one this thread has mentioned the poor desperate refugees who are escaping all sorts of hardships and are only looking for a better life for their family,as we would do in their shoes. We also have to remember that Priti Pattel,s parents where economic immigrants. I have spoken to some of these people and they are desperate human beings! " I agree, but Farsge thinks we are at ‘breaking point’ his Brexit poster looks even showed a large queue of alleged immigrants (not in this country though) | |||
