Let me be extremely clear.
Ant is full of shit.
These people were rescued, not escorted, and were transferred immediately to Border Force.
The RNLI does not get to discriminate. The coastguard sends them coordinates of those in peril, and they go and rescue them; whether that's from the waters, or a vessel not seaworthy enough for the conditions it finds itself.
That's it. They don't interview them whilst they're bobbing up and down in the sea or in direct danger, or ask to see their passports. They fulfil their honourable duty and allow the legal and processing to be done by those whose job it is to do so.
If you are attacking our lifeboat volunteers, putting a target on their back - brave men and women who risk their lives every day to save others - then you are literally the lowest of the low.
These volunteers have nothing to do with your political grift, Ant. They don't get to choose who they rescue.
I think those who attack and doxx these individuals should face criminal charges.
@Britannia1878@DrLukeCraddock As opposed to what? Not being a doctor? We need doctors and the loan is really the only option for most students. Itโs not like he shopped around for a car finance.
Lots commenting on this saying 'a pay rise is a pay rise' even if higher tax bracket

But they're unaware of this UTTERLY INSANE POLICY whereby we charge HIGHER INTEREST if you earn more
