RNLI staff have faced "unacceptable" online & physical abuse since anti-migrant protests. "Deliberate misinformation and a misunderstanding" by thugs hiding behind "balaclava or a keyboard". Solidarity with RNLI volunteers. They do a great job in saving lives, must be respected.

The above is a link to the RNLI. It provides information about this organisation which is solely dedicated to saving lives at sea. Please read and share. It will dispel lies currently being spread: lies that put its volunteers in danger. That the RNLI should have to justify itself is a disgrace.
