From the above article “We realised how difficult it is, particularly for asylum seekers, who have come over here seeking sanctuary from war and left everything behind,” Mr Mann said.
How do you know how difficult it is Mr Mann? First hand or what you’ve been drip fed in your centrally heated house from the lofty pedestal of your keyboard?
Which war in particular are they fleeing?
As ever Mr Mann, how many refugees are you currently housing in your home?
Nah..not a clue what you could possiblly mean mate.
Meanwhile…Now for something COMPLETELY different (and nothing to do with what you said or ANY connection…
)
Just came across this.
Not saying any allegations are true btw, but if it is it kinda put’s Trumps alleged silencing of news sources in a shadow.
I’ve got the video ^^^ currently doing the underground rounds (wouldn’t wanna go to jail now ) you want it RR?
Aye send it through…but we may have to share the same cell, is that ok?..
for anyone that doesnt believe the rnli is bringing these illegals to our shores.
The RNLI do a bloody good job on the whole, but if I was on that crew I’d be jacking.
No way in hell would I be risking my life for criminal scum like that…it is making a mockery of those brave lads imo.
I imagine that the RNLI are genuinely saving lives by ferrying the invaders back to shore, and in their defence that actually is their whole reason to exist.
I do wonder however how much of an adverse effect it has had on their funding, which is reputedly all via charitable donations.
Yeah I get that, but there is a difference betwen going out to actually ‘‘rescue’’ those off a capsized dinghy, against going out to provide a glorified taxi service for them back to shore to book in at their hotels.
I agree with the donations thing, but rest assured the deluded and gullible amongst us will make up the shortfall caused by those who can see what is really going on here.
Thing is if you deliberately put yourself in danger why should they come out and “rescue” you. If you enter a dangerouse yacht race and need rescuing you have to pay the costs.
Also under maratime law if you rescue a stricken vessel it becomes your property seems like a good way for the chief idiot to smash the gangs. Yet he doesent he hands the dinghy back to them along with the life jackets
Top or bottom bunk?
All I see is RNLI coming near the beach?
