RNLI & a disgrace
Today the Daily Mail, that last bastion of patriotism, decided it would be a great idea to slag off the RNLI because – gasp – sometimes they assist and save people who aren’t British. Who aren’t even white!! is the Daily Heil’s very strong implication. Luckily, I finally got a little taste of how it feels to be actually proud of your country when people fought back:
I donated some money and you can too! And on some personal notes:
One: A few years ago I wrote a “Thunderbirds” satire about International Rescue being taken to task for rescuing refugees and asylum seekers. I took some of the dialogue from real newspaper headlines. Maybe it needs an update.
Two: I never lived in a seaside town but my dad did, and my grandmother still does. Usually whenever we visit we can see the lifeboat station at work. Here’s some of the things they did recently.
I’ll donate again next time I’m there.
