There are some areas you would think aren’t up for debate. 

There is someone in effect 'commanding the vessel'. These are numerous laws (national and international) being broken knowingly getting underway like that.

I am sure those on the vessel are appropriately sanctioned. 😝

Eh? What does this have to do with lifeboat operators being willing to assist a boat where the lives of these on board are endangered?

I think he is referring to the people launching and crewing the dinghies.

I'm assuming the organisation is telling its volunteers to help rescue people in the seas?

I know a lot of volunteers here in Poole, a lot. Most signed up to help & rescue local people & visitors who get into difficulties, particularly fisherman and other maritime trades vital to the local economy & well being. They did not sign up to escort economic migrants from one safe country to another. It’s the well paid woke bosses people should be criticising, not the poor blood infantry. 
 

That’s the thing with the RNLI there’s a lot of people making a lot of money out of it.  The blokes putting their lives on the line aren’t, but there’s a lot of bloody people who are. The hotel & HQ must be decorated every fucking year, the ordinary suits soliciting donations make good money. They’ve got good PR, people still believe they’re all volunteers shaking buckets outside supermarkets & giving up their spare time for the community. Load of old pony, they’re ruthless bastards constant HO redundancies whilst the top brass pocket more and more cash. I’ve seen it happen in the 35 years I’ve lived here. The chief executive is on nearly 200k, had the pay stayed in line, it would be about 70k now. You lefties moan about private companies, these are just as bad.

They are told what to do by the organisation. 
 

There even some RNLI staff that have voiced concerns about it….

Their taskings are given by HM Coastguard.

The RNLI does not decide what incidents it does or does not attend.

And neither should it, or will it. The suggestion that they'd be selective about who they'd help is ridiculous.

I'm staggered that it's even a discussion that the RNLI, or frankly anyone, should or shouldn't help certain people at sea. That they were escorted into our waters by the French is the disgrace, not that they were helped when they got there.

I wonder whether the bad press will hit the donations. I’m not advocating that but I think it may

If they got to pick and chose who they'd bother rescuing, where would they stop?

They'd go out for ships in distress. That's tradition. 
But people on holiday inflatables?
Pedalos (no Portmouth, pedalos before you riot)?
Give in to pressure and not assist anyone coming form the direction of France (with other directions to be added)?
People with poor fashion choices?
The elderly? 
Just anyone if there's something good on the telly?

BBC propaganda is strong as usual. As no one was hurt what eere they treated for? 

Surely the BBC, as the states propaganda arm, wouldnt be trying to drum up support for their current regime? 

The quote in the linked article says this

"Seven officers were treated at the scene for injuries, but no-one in attendance was seriously hurt"

So well done on trying to be a clever cunt but guess what, you're full of shit.

Still waiting for you to provide some evidence that the percentage of criminals in the groups arriving on boats is much higher than the average by the way. In your own time.

However, I would wager that the percentage of people involved in the protest at Eastney with criminal records is far greater than among the people they were trying to prevent entering the country.

I'll ask again, were you there? If so, say so. If not, stop saying what you claim happened. 

Anyways, I reckon you're the fella top middle.

You've missed the point. We have no way of knowing the character or history of these arrivals. Maybe they're being persecuted back 'home' because they're criminals?

I think the only answer to that is that we will never know the answer. It doesn't alter the fact, however, that we can't leave them to drown at sea just in case they're wrong uns.

At least we know where people stand these days, all kinds of unpleasant views are being vocalised, some people I know, even relatives, have told me who they really are via their online posts. 

Twats like Robinson and Tommo have emboldened those who would have previously keep racist views to themselves, and given them a template to try and disguise their irrational hate as peaceful protest.

It's nice to be able to see people for what they really are.

Is it though? What about children who don't choose to board those boats?

Mo Farah, for example, was trafficked to the UK against his will when he was 9. He's gone on to smash Olympic records and get a knighthood. Nobody could argue that he hasn't made an overwhelmingly positive contribution to this country.

If he had come by boat, would you have been happy to let him drown in the channel because the guy sitting next to him might have been a criminal?

You can blame social media figures if you like. 
 

Or you can walk around any town centre in the UK and see how they are all massively declining and turning into crime-addled shit holes.
 

Then look at your payslip and see how much more you’re paying for the privilege. 

The fact is anyone that thinks right wing views are popular because of “social media” are the ones living in a bubble. 

Right wing views are gaining popularity because left wing ideas have failed the country spectacularly.

They're not drowning.

For every Mo Farah how many others are there who make an overwhelmingly negative contribution? 

Children are being used as emotional blackmail.

Of course, the fact that since WW2 we have had more years of Tory ( or Con/Dem coalition ) Governemnt, including 12 of the last 16, might have something to do with it.

He thinks the Daily Mail (the fucking Daily Mail FFS!) publishing already publicly available information about one of last week's protesters is proof that the UK is now a far-left fascist state. 

I'm fairly sure he doesn't actually have the slightest fucking clue on the subject of left/right politics.

Hampshire plod should do him for that. Harassment, bullying, threatening and coercive behaviour, poor bloke was just walking home from work, hasn’t made a comment to the flag shaggers. Picked on a bloke who he assumed wouldn’t fight back, typical coward. If the bloke had punched him and given him a black eye, he’d have been the first to whine about assault and pressing charges. As for his Daily Mail meltdown….

Overall there are around 300 to 400 deaths by accidental drowning in the UK.

Deaths of migrants in the Channel are not accidental and not my concern.

Yep. Whitey has previously come across as a decent fella, but being comfortable with people drowning is a disgrace.

Perhaps we all post something once in a while and think, maybe I've gone too far there?

But doubling down on something mad, that's special.

If I walked up to a military base, ignored warnings and jumped over the barriers, I'm pretty sure I'd be shot and probably killed. Same principle should apply to our borders.

If you willingly do something that you know is very dangerous, stupid and illegal, and die as a result, then I have no sympathy.
