Today, Lifeboat Saturday, I’d like to pay tribute to the many brave men and women who volunteer for the #RNLI, risking their lives to save others in grave danger. I’m appalled at the abuse and intimidation faced by RNLI crews in recent weeks. Let’s support and celebrate this incredible charity.

Don't believe russian narratives: So-called 'russian speakers' enjoy more rights in every Western country than in their own shitty homeland. In the Baltic states,for example,they can even receive Schengen passports if they are willing to learn the local languages and embrace the values of democracy.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

It would be comical if a load of this came from Arab States like the Saudis that Trump has decline to assist when it came to the Houthis‘ advance. It would be another example of “being suckered by Trump by being daft enough to believe you could trust him”.

I see Farage has honked out another one of his ‘racist ideas for idiots’… Don’t solve the problem by building more social housing, make people in the queue angry with each other instead. What a little racist shit-stirrer with his £5mill and 5 homes, whipping up hatred to make himself richer. (Times)
Put working Britons first in housing queue, says Reform
Matt Dathan
British-born workers under 35 would be placed at the front of the queue for social housing, with priority given to married couples with children, in a new pledge from Reform UK
Nigel Farage's party has announced radical plans to overhaul the way such accommodation is allocated,
with
veterans also given preference.
Those on benefits would be regarded as a lower priority under the new policy, to be announced by Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader.
The party has already pledged to bar foreigners from social housing and said they would be evicted after a "short grace period. Reform UK estimates that 540,000 social homes are occupied by foreign citizens and that of the 1.3 million people on waiting lists, 15 per cent - about 195,000 households — are foreign.
Tice said: "There are now 1.3 million people waiting for social housing in Britain. The vast majority of them do not have jobs. In terms of the social houses we have, less than half of households are in work and over half a million social homes are currently occupied by foreign nationals.
"Meanwhile, young British men and women, who are working hard, can't afford to move out of their family home… It is time for us to prioritise young British workers, and that is what our policy is about."
A Labour spokesman described
Reform's plans as unserious and unworkable. "Access to social housing is already tightly controlled. Illegal migrants, asylum seekers and migrants on student or work visas are not eligible for social housing," the spokesman said.
"This policy would go after long-term
UK residents that have contributed to our country but are not British citizens, including NHS staff. It would leave more families at risk of homelessness and drive up use of temporary accommodation at the taxpayers' expense. It would also mean renegotiations with the EU, resulting in years of wrangling"
