Threats to Lifesavers in a Turbulent Sea The RNLI's efforts to rescue asylum seekers in the English Channel have sparked outrage from far right agitators, who are targeting volunteers and staff with abuse, threats, and intimidation.
This backlash is not just a manifestation of xenophobia; it also highlights the complexities and challenges that come with responding to humanitarian crises at the UK's borders.
The RNLI has long been a beacon of hope for those in peril on the seas, its volunteers risking their lives to save countless individuals from drowning or drifting to their deaths.
