Lifeboat volunteers are being abused by the far right… for trying to save lives.

I can’t believe I need to say this, keith, but apparently it needs saying. 

The RNLI are heroes and their selfless service around the coast is something we should all be grateful for. 

This needs saying now because of a vile campaign to demonise people who are seeking to cross the channel in search of safety and a better life. Some far right activists and media bigmouths are so determined to make people angry about these people that they’ve even attacked the RNLI for rescuing people at sea when they’re in trouble. 

It’s disgusting and we can’t let it go unanswered. That’s why we’re saying we stand with the RNLI. Can you share our graphic on social media and add your own words of thanks to build up a wall of hope to drown out the haters?

The plight of people seeking to get to Britain, to register as refugees, to try and build a better life, is desperate. The numbers of people trying to cross the channel are higher than in the past but still incredibly low. The campaign of harassment and abuse against these people is stomach-turning. 

We’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to track and disrupt these far right activists and supporting the work of migrant charities. But now the campaign of vilification is breaking into the media, we must speak out. 

Please add your voice on social media to defend the RNLI, and to say there’s no such thing as an “illegal” human. 

Thank you.
