Well know what?
Bring it on. If that or objecting to the disgusting diversion of RNLI funds to outside of the UK is being racist then start with me.

First founded in 1824 as an institution to save lives from shipwrecks. Given a Royal charter in 1860.Been going a long time, but if people wish to see the end of such an institution, then stop funding it. Simple as that.

But actually this disgraceful misappropriation of our donations kicked off by RNLI people and resources to Bangladesh to assist with flood relief and later to Tanzania to provide assistance with floods there.
Actually I'd forgotten about those, it was the Memsahib who reminded me while we were discussing it just now.
What the hell has happened to our country?
