Earlier today I asked whether you supported defunding the RNLI.
The responses came thick and fast.
I’ve used some of them in my latest article.
But this story starts long before small boats. For me, it starts on my 21st birthday.

This IS incitement.
In 24 hours, almost every Reform UK high-profile figure has been taken to social media, the seas and the beaches to foment violence within our communities.
A distraction is so desperately needed from their rampant corruption and Farage's failing career, so the message has gone out from HQ — INVASION.
We are NOT being invaded, but this is Nigel's last throw of the dice to kick up some rioting again before he's thrown out of Parliament.
Aside from making a mockery of the MP's Code of Conduct, they are serving up a genuine risk to life and, in my opinion, should be reined in by the police or security services.
None of this is acceptable — it's the burgeoning, unaccountable face of modern fascism.
Farage and Reform UK are in deep trouble. However, after 3 days, @Verbatim_Media's 37 minute video of their extraordinary year-long undercover investigation into Reform UK's illegal foreign donations has only got 161k views. It should have several million.
So please repost this and then share the video.

As soon as this fall, Vladimir Putin may be more willing to test NATO, new U.S. intelligence suggests. Officials cited by WSJ and CBS say a test could range from cyberattacks to a limited land incursion.

There's no "win-win" with cancer. Putin's "aspirations" are the destruction of Ukraine and perpetual war on Europe. We know that because that is what he's doing.
Throw a milkshake at farage and Reform will claim its an assassination attempt. Assault a women with a weapon and reform response is
"Boo hoo"
The hypocrisy is wild.
"What we had yesterday... was totally reminiscent of the Nazis."
The masked Dover protest highlights how Britain’s far right is growing through an underground network, using tactics "incredibly reminiscent" of the Nazis, says fascism expert professor Roger Griffin.
This video reportedly from the Reform annual conference in Birmingham has been widely circulated on social media.
The party’s would-be chancellor, Robert Jenrick, said this on TV this morning:
“A far left protestor goes into a party conference, tries to wreck the leader’s speech and cries foul if a pensioner knocks her over the head with their zimmer frame. I mean come on, get a life…”
Fukuyama: Trump went to Moscow in the 1980s, while the Soviet Union still existed. He later spent tens of thousands of dollars on New York Times ads arguing NATO caused the Cold War standoff and shouldn't be funded.
He's been pro-Soviet, then pro-Russian, for decades.
The pictures from Reform conference of delegates assaulting women protestors should be front page news. There should be no excuses because of their age. This is where the country is heading under Farage and Reform. These are the people who have been radicalised in this country.
It’s no surprise the Reform audience had a violent rage that was primed & ready to be unleashed against any protesters who popped up.
The level of demonisation by both Reform and its media facilitators against their opponents makes this inevitable.
Same scenes at MAGA rallies.
🚨 WATCH: Laura Kuenssberg dismantles Nigel Farage’s latest defence
Farage on a meeting discussing potentially enormous donations:
“I frankly wasn’t even listening.”
Then:
“I know donation law better than anybody.”
Then he categorically guarantees foreign money has NEVER been funnelled to Reform in the manner alleged.
Laura: How can you know that when you’ve just admitted you weren’t listening?
Farage:
“I’m not a compliance officer, I’m a leader. I shake hands and take photographs.”
Laura:
“You’re the leader, the buck stops with you.”
Precisely.
Farage has spent years presenting Reform as the tightly controlled political machine he created.
All-powerful CEO when taking the credit. Mr Bean when anyone asks who was minding the shop.
You can’t have it both ways.
