Re: RNLI lost the plot - donations diverted to foreign "aid"
If the International Development Fund has given funds to take part in an exchange programme run by the International Maritime Rescue Federation , then I don't see the problem. It's not your money to be worrying about.

The money being spent on things outside of the UK, no matter how much of a "good cause" amounts to misappropriation of funds.
I do wonder what the purpose of the RNLI charity was declared to be when it was first registered and if it was changed then when, by whom, and changed to what.

"One volunteer was stood down for social media activity which targeted a member of RNLI staff without their knowledge and produced graphic sexual images which went far beyond banter.
"The other volunteer produced a hardcore pornographic image of a fellow crew member on a mug."

It might seem strange, but because they are in a boat sometimes, does not mean they can abandon all rules pertaining to decency and conduct .
Plus we don't know what goes on. They are on call at any time day or night, they could have been over the limit, or late or not woken up or drugs in their system . No one is going to divulge that info .
