This is just showing those that are in need of rescuing as do others on our beaches around the UK, try justifying why you pickup, not rescue, the larger boats full of just young males in sea conditions which resemble a mill pond, iv'e been at sea for over 40 years and even exercised with the RNLI and understand the varying conditions, why not show the larger boats containing the jubilant males on a nice calm sunny day with their French escort who have made it to UK waters and are about to get a ride the rest of the way. Same goes for the Border Force, the result of what you're doing now will show in years to come and their kids and the younger generation will pay the price.
I am sorry but they operating a taxi service they go and neet the boats. T hey do not rescue them in rough wTerd waters ots usily a mill pond.boats full of you g .males. People think we are stupid. I have donated to RNLI for 5oyeard I no longer do.
You are making it easy I’m sorry it’s not what you where invented for you are encouraging them the people of Britain will judge you most are from Albania anyway
If it's so dangerous then why aren't you sending the message : don't make the journey?,rather than 'don't worry,we'll pick you up' Are you now politisized?
@@grucru8615 I don't think legally they could just assume they come from France and drop them off there. Plus it would probably be dangerous to do that trip in a rescue boat. If you don't like asylum seekers in this country then petition the government to do something. Don't blame the RNLI for trying to stop humans drowning. It is kind of their MO.

@@HelenCrane-jl1nv not random as you replied to my comment. As for lame, not sure why you would choose to insult with that word. Perhaps you need to consult a dictionary. Nor am I telling you what to say, merely informing you that your comment was foolish, a point I stand by. The RNLI do not choose who to rescue. They go to anyone without judgement or favouritism. They themselves, or perhaps I myself, may not want their resources to be used in this way but stick by the principles on which they were founded. In this regard they are much like doctors. I am not expecting you to understand that. I am proud to support the RNLI and I am proud to be employed in the NHS in my role as a theatre assistant. Both organisations work, without favouritism, to make the world a better place.

Its a catch 22 the RNLI are in..by helping these dinghy people along with border force they are reducing the risk...which in turn will be used by the traffickers as a selling point, the more the RNLI and Border Force help the more will be willing to make the journey. Why anyone would want to risk their lives leaving France is beyond me....unless its for economic reasons. France is still a tourist destination?

@@cuckingfunt9353 I don't think you get causation. Unless you put a line of armed soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, and grant them permission to fire on the immigrants, they're not gonna stop. The US Coast Guard rescues Cuban immigrants all the time, they get shipped back to Cuba. That doesn't stop them trying to escape Cuba to live in America. RNLI's policies have nothing to do with folks trying to get to England.
Where's the message that the crossing is dangerous and should not be attempted in unsafe, overloaded craft? I would have thought your aim would be to not have anyone to rescue. Prevention is better than cure.
Indeed it is. But so far preventative measures have not worked, there are people who need saving at sea. Prevention is currently not working in the meantime The RNLI will save them . People with poor diets will still be rushed to hospital if they gave a heart attack, the fire brigade still attend your property even if , against all advice, you tried your dangerous party trick. The police will still investigate a preventable crime. The RNLI save lives at sea, no questions asked. The politics of the situation are not their concern. Are you suggesting they just leave them to take their chances .
@paulc No, it is not something they have just started doing. Ask any RNLI crew along the south east coast and they can tell you they have been rescuing people from peril for hundreds of years.
@@tacticoolnukes849 yes, but in this instance they may be perpetuating human trafficking by taxiing migrants to the UK. I feel for the RNLI, a good solution would be to take them back to france
The RNLI’s motto is ‘saving lives at sea’, any lives, any race, anyone. So my heart goes to the RNLI for saving 100s of lives every year. Migrants are people, not inhuman. #RNLIforlife
I’ve donated a few thousand to the RLNI in the past few years, People that find themselves in unfortunate circumstances deserve to be rescued. That includes fleeing wars, Uneducated or miscalculated decisions. Life isn’t easy and some individuals risk their lives to escape from countries surrounded in conflict or corrupt governments. Do they belong in this country isn’t my debate. But do they deserved to be rescued. Yes. The Same goes to those that make mistakes and find themselves in difficult situations, I hate it when people say they should pay for it because they made stupid decisions. For that I say, We all make mistakes and we learn from them. And I’ll continue to donate money so they don’t have to.

They’re relatively cheap and easy to buy. A lot of the boats used are not in great shape. Most are not suitable for a channel crossing and unsafe. People smugglers buy them or groups of asylum seekers chip in together. I can’t imagine how desperate they must be to risk such a crossing thru a shipping lane. Well done RNLI. The sea doesn’t judge people so neither do they. Thank god or all the daft buggers on unicorn inflatables wouldn’t get rescued! 😁

You don't think it's an actual planned invasion, all those fighting age men without their women and children? Look your loved ones in the eye and know you too encouraged them, when the time comes.
It is with a heavy heart that I now consider the RNLI to be a political organisation first, a facilitator in human trafficking second and an abuser of public donations third. It is still is a noble service but only where the crews with wet and cold feet are concerned and not with the executive that will always have warm dry ones. Until the RNLI reverses its political agenda, I will be redirecting my donations to the UK mountain rescue service and the RSPCA. My view and opinion is not influenced by Mr Farage, it is influenced by what is right and what is wrong.
Are you really begrudging children being taught how to swim? Purely by virtue of the country they just happen to have been born in? If I'd just posted a comment like yours i think i might spend some time reflecting on the type of person i am and if that's really how i want to behave.
They are risking not only their lives but risking their kids and the lives of the lifeboat crew, they know the risk there not that stupid so if they drown dont feel sorry for them
They managed to get this far in their dinghies, WHY do they need rescuing, surely they are capable of going all the way, but they should not be coming any way. I will never give to this taxi service again, it's at some point going to come down to who do you save the little uk lad swept out to sea or the people coming here illegaly ?
u should be fined ten thousand pound for each person your bringing in to the country, u know like the lorry drivers get charged when they have no clue they are in the trailer, one rule for one....
I for one stopped donating my hard earned money to help the RNLI rescue these people they were safe in France so why try to cross to here as far as I’m concerned I blame our government giving them hotel rooms money and food that’s why they want to come here
Sad that you even have to make this video to explain to people why you save people, you don't get to choose who you save. Would love to be part of a rnli crew
No, they aren’t. They illegally crossed from France to the UK, because they are economic migrants. According to the UN, migrants should seek shelter in the first safe country which they come across, and France is by ever measure a safe country.
@@dylanminett8552 But they are still people who need help. That is Tom's point. It doesn't matter who they are or why they are in the situation they are in, if they are in danger on the sea the RNLI will rescue them. Immigration will deal with the migrants in accordance with the law, that is not the RNLI's job. Also, the law does NOT require that refugees claim asylum in the first safe country. From Amnesty.org: There is no legal requirement for a refugee to claim asylum in any particular country. Neither the 1951 Refugee Convention nor EU law requires a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another. There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive. www.amnesty.org.uk/truth-about-refugees
@@dylanminett8552 firstly they are definitely not economic migrants, as they would have most likely had the company they work for pay for their travel secondly you've mixed up a false talking point about asylum seekers and said it's referring to migrants, so on this point, if you could only migrate to the first country no British person would live in Australia... secondly on the asylum seeker front, their is UN mandate that says this, a brilliant example would be imagine if you are a Jewish person fleeing Poland from persecution during 1942, if this rule was a thing, every single nation you entire if you can only go to the nearest would still kill you. Their is of course no mandate from the UN to saying Asylum seekers have to go to the nearest country, as that's nonsensical I.e. maybe you have family in England already, you may be able to speak English but not a different language in the nearest nation and as mentioned before the point of Asylum seeking is to be safe the next country over may not be safe for you.
@@dylanminett8552 "no they're not" which? Be exact here, according to your own words arguing against mine, the point you're making is either they're not people or they don't need the RNLI's help.
Under the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea, ALL ships have a duty to assist those in distress. The fact that you volunteer to do this in some of the roughest weather, makes you some of the most brave, noble and unselfish people in this country. The abuse you have received by a bigoted, racist and a gullible (very vocal) minority is beyond reprehensible. Keep up the good work, helping all those in distress. You are an asset to this country, something to be proud of, and have the support and respect of the vast majority of us.
I think people are irate at the fact, french authorities are escorting these illegal crossings to British waters, and then communicating to British vessels of the potential perilous voyage. The RNLI volunteers are some of the bravest men & women we have, battling a force that shows no mercy. People are frustrated with the charity, and the damage it’s doing to the good name of the charity, not the men & women who risk their lives. I think it’s very naive of you to believe otherwise.
@@agentsmakem424 where is the proof that the French are doing that and even if they are it's not illegal... They want to go to England, why not they have travelled 10,000km for the privilege to do so. Tough, get over it and welcome these people with open arms 😘
@@tatradak that’s not really a valid or worthy response to my text. I am a 3rd generation immigrant, and have been very grateful for my fathers brave and “legal” decisions, and the British people for their acceptance.

@@agentsmakem424 you obviously are happy to be 3rd generation immigrant and I'm happy for you you but you haven't yet got a full grasp of the English language
I remember a while back someone commented on a video of yours that you should stop rescuing migrants (though they didn't put it quite so politely), mind you the video had nothing to do with migrants at all. I replied that the RNLI doesn't judge who they are rescuing, they don't check passports or anything, that their mission is to save all lives at sea, not just legal residents of the UK but all lives. And that is what you do. You get word of people in distress on the water so out goes the shout and the nearest lifeboat is launched to render aid to them. You don't question their immigration status, you go. Immigration and the authorities will deal with the immigration issues in accordance with the law, the first job and duty of the brave people of the RNLI is to save lives. It is better that you save people like these and that they have to then deal with Immigration than for them to die at sea. I honestly cannot understand how anyone can say "don't save them, let them drown". They are, first and foremost, human beings and you have a professional, moral and ethical obligation to do all you can to save them.
@@Gsscvgggfdertfffhhjiuytdsss if you are against their opting to save them, then what exactly is it you are asking them to do if not "leave them to drown".
@@Gsscvgggfdertfffhhjiuytdsss they are saying what they do is not political, it is humanitarian. There is nothing political in the RNLI saving lives at sea in our waters. What if it was you, and you bailed out without your passport. Would you hope they didn't do anything political; like ask for your passport? They do humanitarian work. They save lives at sea, no questions asked.
@@Gsscvgggfdertfffhhjiuytdsss It's not the RNLI you should be getting angry at look towards the current government for a lot of the current problems, they could fix this issue quickly but choose not to.
Yet they've had record high donations. It's just the thick racists that claim to stop donating. But as most are probably unemployed or on benefits I doubt that makes much difference.
Well. It's fascinating to read the reams of contributions here extolling RNLI for its work whilst failing to recognise that aiding and abetting illegal migration that profits criminal gangs is NOT the work that donors to the charity support - the people donating this £43k are flash in the pan donors, they'll be off to the next virtue signalling novelty in no time. Meanwhile millions will decide not to bother dropping by the pound coin into the collecting box next time.
@@JohnGrayOnline you may not know who i am but I've got your measure. You are publicly campaigning against a life saving charity because you don't like the people they are helping. You think that people in distress should be racially profiled before they are offered help. You are someone who values one human life more than another if they happen to have been born on a piece of land you approve of. You would rather people who are different to yiurself be left to die rather than live next to them. You are obviously a very fearful individual and Farage uses that fear and stokes it up into naked hatred. Once he has that hate oozing from you he can get you to atrack charities in public. You choose to live your life cowering in fear. You pretend that you're not afraid but rather you're concerned with security from desperate, poor people who have committed, as far as you're concerned, the inexcusable crime of being foreign, sometimes not being white and speaking a language you don't understand. That's what you've become. I know that i will not persuade you to be any different. You have chosen to be an odious racist at the beck and call of Farage. You actually want to be someone who wants people to drown because they're different from you. There is something you need to know, however. It may seem that your vile racism is normal and shared by many others because you read TH-cam comments but TH-cam is a cesspit of hatred where racists like you can congregate in an attempt to feel normal. The rest of the country sees you for what you are: a nasty, bigoted, hate fuelled racist who attacks charities for helping all peoole irrespective of their origins. It is YOU that is a threat to this country.
The RNLI are stuck between a rock and a hard place, don't see the point in people blaming them, their aim is to save lives. It is the role of governments to address the solutions to this problem. I will continue to support the life boats so they can be equipped for their task. As a member of a kayaking group I know just how important they are and I know people who are very grateful to them for rescuing them.
These illegals are deliberately putting themselves in harms way ! Is that what the RNLI is all about?.. lets all jump in the sea and off cliffs..come on RNLI..I love seeing them out and about...and they specialise in unjustified rescues.
quite often ships in the shipping lanes that run all the way up and down the channel trying desperately not to accidentally run one of these tiny boats over. ohter times its fishermen, pleasure craft, coast guard, voluneers watching out along the coastline, helicopters and occasionally migrant vessels in need of assistance. I hope this helps! :)

Lol...
If it were possible to donate to specific stations, the ones along the south coast would go bust, whilst the generous British would continue to fund all other stations.
Its quite litteraly a choice whether you give them money or not, they are a charity they aren't paid through taxes. What isn't a choice is people having to flee their homes in a crisis and seek refuge
The UK government should not be relying on a charity to fill the gaps in the Border Farce operations. The RNLI is not conflicted in it's intention and purpose but it is conflicted in the outcomes past the saving of lives.
I read it is no longer a registered charity. It is a business run as a business with huge reserves. Look into it. They use people like you so they can sit on their laurels.
A lot of people in the comment section obviously don't understand, what human trafficking is or that a dinghy is dangerous in the open channel. But hay these ignorant fools care more about scapegoating these desperate people, than funding a charity that saves lives.

This comments section is very entertaining. I can't help but wonder how well some of these keyboard warriors would fare if they were to volunteer with the RNLI and see what it's actually like launching in the treacherous conditions they sometimes have to. Not very well, I'd wager! Simply cannot get my head around how some people can say "who cares, let them drown" and think that's ok. The RNLI is there to save lives at sea. Simple as that. It is not there to play politics, and it is certainly not there to make a judgement call on which lives are worth saving, and which lives are not. It's appalling to see the amount of abuse they are getting for simply doing their job. And by the way, before someone calls me an embittered leftie or something, I'm a card-carrying Conservative member who voted for Brexit.
Good Morning CJ, I doubt that many of us with concerns about RNLI's current Channel activity have the "some people can say "who cares, let them drown" and think that's ok" attitude you impute to them ... and your 'keyboard warriors' comment is just disingenuous I feel, we all know (and 100% respect) the skills and courage of RNLI crew when responding to an emergency callout .. that's not the situation here in most of the video footage we've been shown, calm seas, dinghies not in distress, a French escort vessel hanging around just to see their job of passing a problem on has been accomplished ...
C J Molland wants to teach the world to sing. How cute. The only thing more treacherous than those conditions the RNLI launch in is the RNLI themselves ...and your a close second Molland. Your sailing close to the wind. I'm watching 👀 you.
Saving lives at sea? That’s not what they’re doing though is it? They’re intercepting the boats coming in regardless of wether their in danger or not, that’s not heroic and it’s not rescuing either! It’s playing lapdog to the government and they know it!
Coming from a coastal town, I have always been aware of - and supported - the wonderful work of the RNLI. I shall certainly continue to do so. The idea that one should start being selective about who in peril on the seas should be rescued and who shouldn't is inhuman, barbaric and quite ridiculous. Keep up the great work!
Man there are some pricks in these comments.. Well done and thank you for all that you do. Saving someone's life should not be illegal, no matter who they are, where they come from, why they're coming.. The fact the Tories want to make it illegal to save a bloody life shows where they are now, what they stand for (as if we didn't know). You're great people, keep up the great work.
So as a Truck driver I would be fined £5000 per person in the back of my truck even if I didn’t know they where in it ( which you don’t ). So why would I end up with a fine whilst the RNLI get a pat on the back ?
@@mashbury They are actually faciliting this. They will be put on a list of those blame. You should try and organize the drivers to oppose those atrocious 5 grand fines. If a dozen snuck in that's enough to make someone lose their home and ruin themselves forever financially. Yet the RNLI are allowed to help them cross?!.
Unfortunately as sad as the situation is we have to think with our heads and not with our hearts. We are a small Island that is struggling to build enough homes and expand infrastructure to cope with our own population growth. If we try and save everyone then we'll be dragged under too. It would be lovely to be able to help these poor people out but we just can't keep doing it or otherwise we will be in a real mess. Other nations know this is how we are and we end up with everybody else's issues and it's not our job to take on their responsibilities. You couldn't keep taking on the homeless into your own home because you'd end up homeless when you're squeezed out. Sad but true unfortunately. It's time we started thinking with our heads and not our hearts or else we'll be the ones in the boats and I bet no one else would rescue us. Update 14/04/22 Thanks to this we are now unable to take in people for legitimate reasons such as those from Ukraine. Young kids, women and the elderly being blown to bits by the Russians. This is because space and funds are being used up by mostly fit young men trying to come over from other countries that have no serious issues at all. Thanks to the short sighted lefties that jumped on me for my previous comments. It's people with your short sighted gullible mindset that have caused this. Well done 👏
@Jack B Smart enough to be able to propose a realistic outcome to the current actions. Maybe you'd like to propose a solution as it's easy just posting comments without any weight behind them.....that's even smarter isn't it 😉
@@morzee94 Not at all, I'm suggesting they are dropped back off on the French shoreline. If we take them in then more and more will come over. How do you propose we cope with that in the long term? What about the other people that are drowning while these people put themselves at risk by choice? The RNLI is a charity who don't have an endless supply of money. Lorry drivers have been fined for having migrants in their lorries without knowing, imagine how they feel seeing this?How do you intend to financially support these people when our NHS service is on its knees. What about our homeless, some ex military, surely we need to look after them first? They were put on the front line to help combat terrorism . How do you propose to filter out terrorists sneaking in and causing another Manchester or London attack. Will you tell the family members you Supported them all coming over? Are all these people fleeing war zones or just want what we have built up. Why won't they stop in the rest of Europe? That's the problem with short term empathic thinking it often causes even bigger losses like overloading a life raft, rather than saving ten you kill everyone.
@@argonaut6386 a very well constructed and very classic right wing anti-immigrant argument. One that history has proved time and again to be dangerous and self defeating. However, it’s also irrelevant to this video. The RNLI hand them over to border force when they get to the UK. It’s then Border Force’s role to establish if they are legitimate asylum seekers and whether to admit them or not. The RNLI have nothing to do with that decision. As a British charity they have no right to ferry them back to France either, that just isn’t something they can legally do. Therefore the RNLI are faced with a simple choice. To allow them to drown or not. They are making the right decision and they have the capacity to do it whilst still responding to other emergencies. As for the wider situation, that’s for politicians and border force to deal with along with their french counterparts. I hope we can all agree though that the volunteers that save these lives do not deserve the hateful right wing abuse they have often been receiving.
Thank you. Not everyone is hateful to you for rescuing anyone, in any circumstance. You often save lives, children, babies, adults and for this I thank you for the dangerous job you all do. You're all amazing people to save lives, sometimes at the detriment of your own.
@@rnli and whilst your busy saving foreign strangers, many of which do not even like our culture. Can you remember to not forget about the British people who might be in trouble within our waters? Oh dear, I see; you've been much too busy! PS. I used to be a member of the Inshore Rescue service, and even I can see you guys have got this one wrong!
@@agi1041 Why are these people on the boats criminals? Should George Floyd have just been killed then? Anyone in prison - we just execute them? Is that your grand plan?
@@user-vh6ts9uf6c The minimum sentence George Floyd should have received was life imprisonment with no release. Maybe you think it's ok to force your way into a house and point a gun at a woman. Those on the boats are criminals because they are trying to enter the country illegally. If they have legal status, they can use the ferry.
@@agi1041 Floyd was jailed for that robbery. But again, what has George Floyd got to do with migrants travelling into Britain? Your argument is all over the place, man.
They should be arrested for child abuse and their children put into care for risking their lives crossing a dangerous sea while legitimate sanctuary was available in France.
The RNLI are heroes. I'm in awe of their bravery. It's very sad that they have to make a video explaining why they won't ever stand by and watch people drown - but some of the hateful comments below reveal such a video is needed. That anyone would actually stop supporting the RNLI on this issue is beyond me. Thank you to all the RNLI volunteers.
They need to . In addition an explanation for the mega salary paid to their CEO would be enlightening , all from the humble british public on a pittance compared to him, shameful. There are plenty of " executives" out there who would do the job equally well for half the amount
They aren't getting called out to save lives .. they're getting called out to tow boats to England, boats full of people breaking out law, knowing full well they'll get away with it.
At the end of the day people are taking out on the RNLI what should be sorted out between Governments, Boris is sitting back and laughing as people turn on one of the UK's greatest institutions ever formed by the people to work alongside the coast guard in coastal search and rescue operations. The point is blame the people who allow them far enough into our waters that the RNLI is called upon. Their job is not to decide who to rescue, their job is to respond to coastal distress calls end of. This video had to be made because of the amount of people having a go at them for doing what they were set up to do: RESPOND TO PEOPLE AND LAND ANIMALS IN TROUBLE AT SEA/SHORELINE. It's so ignorant and foolish to not comprehend this.
i observe the RNLI have updated their vision statement which in 2019 was "to end preventable loss of life at sea" and in 2020 became "to save every one" [sic]. their aims are clearly as fickle as the wind
But why not teach them how to swim? Why do their bathing suits matter? You do realise that Islam forbids women from seeing each other immodestly dressed right?
There are a lot of political issues around the whole migrant situation. They are complex and there are no easy answers. But the RNLI is above politics. It is a life-saving organisation dedicated to that single purpose, staffed by volunteers who are all brave heroes for doing what they do. I salute and applaud you all and will continue to support you without hesitation.
The pigs are in on it. Look at them. I have never seen such a gormless bunch of cowards who only pick on the law abiding public but not the actual criminals. There was one video of a lot of them with their riot shields and helmets linked up and they turned and literally RAN away from some Muslims who were marching.
Our role is to answer the call for help whenever it comes in, without fear or favour. That has always been the case, regardless of the reason why anyone comes in to be in danger.
@@rnli so what you're saying is that the French authorities are deliberately allowing them to leave their shores in unsuitable boats and therefore shifting responsibility to the RNLI? Sounds a bit neglectful. Do you ever liaise with French coastal authorities? Or their equivalent of the RNLI? If the boats were escorted back how would they deal with it? Have you asked them?

Naughty boy!
I’ve donated a few thousand to the RLNI in the past few years, People that find themselves in unfortunate circumstances deserve to be rescued. That includes fleeing wars, Uneducated or miscalculated decisions. Life isn’t easy and some individuals risk their lives to escape from countries surrounded in conflict or corrupt governments. Do they belong in this country isn’t my debate. But do they deserved to be rescued. Yes.
The Same goes to those that make mistakes and find themselves in difficult situations, I hate it when people say they should pay for it because they made stupid decisions. For that I say, We all make mistakes and we learn from them. And I’ll continue to donate money so they don’t have to.

No, they aren’t. They illegally crossed from France to the UK, because they are economic migrants. According to the UN, migrants should seek shelter in the first safe country which they come across, and France is by ever measure a safe country.
@@dylanminett8552 But they are still people who need help. That is Tom's point. It doesn't matter who they are or why they are in the situation they are in, if they are in danger on the sea the RNLI will rescue them.

Also, the law does NOT require that refugees claim asylum in the first safe country. From Amnesty.org:
There is no legal requirement for a refugee to claim asylum in any particular country. Neither the 1951 Refugee Convention nor EU law requires a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another. There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive.

@@dylanminett8552 firstly they are definitely not economic migrants, as they would have most likely had the company they work for pay for their travel secondly you've mixed up a false talking point about asylum seekers and said it's referring to migrants, so on this point, if you could only migrate to the first country no British person would live in Australia... secondly on the asylum seeker front, their is UN mandate that says this, a brilliant example would be imagine if you are a Jewish person fleeing Poland from persecution during 1942, if this rule was a thing, every single nation you entire if you can only go to the nearest would still kill you. Their is of course no mandate from the UN to saying Asylum seekers have to go to the nearest country, as that's nonsensical I.e. maybe you have family in England already, you may be able to speak English but not a different language in the nearest nation and as mentioned before the point of Asylum seeking is to be safe the next country over may not be safe for you.

People are frustrated with the charity, and the damage it’s doing to the good name of the charity, not the men & women who risk their lives. I think it’s very naive of you to believe otherwise.
@@agentsmakem424 where is the proof that the French are doing that and even if they are it's not illegal... They want to go to England, why not they have travelled 10,000km for the privilege to do so. Tough, get over it and welcome these people with open arms 😘

I remember a while back someone commented on a video of yours that you should stop rescuing migrants (though they didn't put it quite so politely), mind you the video had nothing to do with migrants at all. I replied that the RNLI doesn't judge who they are rescuing, they don't check passports or anything, that their mission is to save all lives at sea, not just legal residents of the UK but all lives.
And that is what you do. You get word of people in distress on the water so out goes the shout and the nearest lifeboat is launched to render aid to them. You don't question their immigration status, you go. Immigration and the authorities will deal with the immigration issues in accordance with the law, the first job and duty of the brave people of the RNLI is to save lives. It is better that you save people like these and that they have to then deal with Immigration than for them to die at sea.
I honestly cannot understand how anyone can say "don't save them, let them drown". They are, first and foremost, human beings and you have a professional, moral and ethical obligation to do all you can to save them.
Anyone who says drown is mentally ill

@@paulmeredith7651 I don't know who you are Paul, but clearly not someone interested in the security of our country ...
@@JohnGrayOnline you may not know who i am but I've got your measure.
You are publicly campaigning against a life saving charity because you don't like the people they are helping. You think that people in distress should be racially profiled before they are offered help. You are someone who values one human life more than another if they happen to have been born on a piece of land you approve of. You would rather people who are different to yiurself be left to die rather than live next to them.
You are obviously a very fearful individual and Farage uses that fear and stokes it up into naked hatred. Once he has that hate oozing from you he can get you to atrack charities in public.
You choose to live your life cowering in fear. You pretend that you're not afraid but rather you're concerned with security from desperate, poor people who have committed, as far as you're concerned, the inexcusable crime of being foreign, sometimes not being white and speaking a language you don't understand.
That's what you've become. I know that i will not persuade you to be any different. You have chosen to be an odious racist at the beck and call of Farage. You actually want to be someone who wants people to drown because they're different from you.
There is something you need to know, however. It may seem that your vile racism is normal and shared by many others because you read TH-cam comments but TH-cam is a cesspit of hatred where racists like you can congregate in an attempt to feel normal. The rest of the country sees you for what you are: a nasty, bigoted, hate fuelled racist who attacks charities for helping all peoole irrespective of their origins. It is YOU that is a threat to this country.
The RNLI are stuck between a rock and a hard place, don't see the point in people blaming them, their aim is to save lives. It is the role of governments to address the solutions to this problem. I will continue to support the life boats so they can be equipped for their task. As a member of a kayaking group I know just how important they are and I know people who are very grateful to them for rescuing them.

The UK government should not be relying on a charity to fill the gaps in the Border Farce operations. The RNLI is not conflicted in it's intention and purpose but it is conflicted in the outcomes past the saving of lives.
I agree, they should be given a ticket to France if they don't want to be handed over to the Border Farce.

This comments section is very entertaining. I can't help but wonder how well some of these keyboard warriors would fare if they were to volunteer with the RNLI and see what it's actually like launching in the treacherous conditions they sometimes have to. Not very well, I'd wager! Simply cannot get my head around how some people can say "who cares, let them drown" and think that's ok. The RNLI is there to save lives at sea. Simple as that. It is not there to play politics, and it is certainly not there to make a judgement call on which lives are worth saving, and which lives are not. It's appalling to see the amount of abuse they are getting for simply doing their job. And by the way, before someone calls me an embittered leftie or something, I'm a card-carrying Conservative member who voted for Brexit.
Good Morning CJ, I doubt that many of us with concerns about RNLI's current Channel activity have the "some people can say "who cares, let them drown" and think that's ok" attitude you impute to them ... and your 'keyboard warriors' comment is just disingenuous I feel, we all know (and 100% respect) the skills and courage of RNLI crew when responding to an emergency callout .. that's not the situation here in most of the video footage we've been shown, calm seas, dinghies not in distress, a French escort vessel hanging around just to see their job of passing a problem on has been accomplished ...
C J Molland wants to teach the world to sing. How cute. The only thing more treacherous than those conditions the RNLI launch in is the RNLI themselves ...and your a close second Molland. Your sailing close to the wind. I'm watching 👀 you.
Saving lives at sea? That’s not what they’re doing though is it? They’re intercepting the boats coming in regardless of wether their in danger or not, that’s not heroic and it’s not rescuing either! It’s playing lapdog to the government and they know it!
Rescue them by all means but send them back to France ffs!
@@Byley-e7h that would take something called a spine, which the government just doesn’t have!
Coming from a coastal town, I have always been aware of - and supported - the wonderful work of the RNLI. I shall certainly continue to do so.

do the RNLI go up to every boat and ship in the Channel asking them if they need rescuing?
Man there are some pricks in these comments..
Well done and thank you for all that you do. Saving someone's life should not be illegal, no matter who they are, where they come from, why they're coming..

Unfortunately as sad as the situation is we have to think with our heads and not with our hearts. We are a small Island that is struggling to build enough homes and expand infrastructure to cope with our own population growth. If we try and save everyone then we'll be dragged under too. It would be lovely to be able to help these poor people out but we just can't keep doing it or otherwise we will be in a real mess. Other nations know this is how we are and we end up with everybody else's issues and it's not our job to take on their responsibilities. You couldn't keep taking on the homeless into your own home because you'd end up homeless when you're squeezed out. Sad but true unfortunately. It's time we started thinking with our heads and not our hearts or else we'll be the ones in the boats and I bet no one else would rescue us.

Lorry drivers have been fined for having migrants in their lorries without knowing, imagine how they feel seeing this?How do you intend to financially support these people when our NHS service is on its knees. What about our homeless, some ex military, surely we need to look after them first? They were put on the front line to help combat terrorism . How do you propose to filter out terrorists sneaking in and causing another Manchester or London attack. Will you tell the family members you Supported them all coming over? Are all these people fleeing war zones or just want what we have built up. Why won't they stop in the rest of Europe? That's the problem with short term empathic thinking it often causes even bigger losses like overloading a life raft, rather than saving ten you kill everyone.
@@argonaut6386 a very well constructed and very classic right wing anti-immigrant argument. One that history has proved time and again to be dangerous and self defeating. However, it’s also irrelevant to this video. The RNLI hand them over to border force when they get to the UK. It’s then Border Force’s role to establish if they are legitimate asylum seekers and whether to admit them or not. The RNLI have nothing to do with that decision. As a British charity they have no right to ferry them back to France either, that just isn’t something they can legally do. Therefore the RNLI are faced with a simple choice. To allow them to drown or not. They are making the right decision and they have the capacity to do it whilst still responding to other emergencies. As for the wider situation, that’s for politicians and border force to deal with along with their french counterparts. I hope we can all agree though that the volunteers that save these lives do not deserve the hateful right wing abuse they have often been receiving.

Their job is not to decide who to rescue, their job is to respond to coastal distress calls end of.
