RNLI 200 years old today.

Of course it’s BP material - the poster wasn’t asking a genuine question, rather making a political point.

I don’t know the poster, nor claim to know his/her politics or motivations.

As the RNLI (a non-political organisation) website goes to the trouble of addressing such questions, they must be commonly asked, there’s no need at all to make it political, just keep it factual.

Has form for anti-immigrant views, just troublemaking here.

We donated to the RNLI launch a memory the collection we took at my father’s funeral.
His name is now on the new Invergordon Shannon class lifeboat. As he worked on the water we thought it a fitting memorial for him.

Fair enough, no good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes!

A very fitting tribute to your Father, I’d not heard of the Launch a Memory campaign before, but will try to get on the next launch to remember somebody we recently lost.

Having googled it, his name must be on the Agnes AP Barr?

Yeah, that’s the boat. His name seems to be on there 3 times, or 2 other people have the exact same name, which is unlikely as we used his middle name as well.

It's a shame that the bravery and dedication of the RNLI volunteers has had a shadow cast over it by the recent goings on in the Channel. They are obviously just doing what they do, and rescuing people who are in danger from inadequate and unsafe boats and equipment. I do believe they are being exploited by cynical criminals relying on their limited resources.
