RNLI’s all at sea

I HAVE been a supporter of the RNLI over many years, helping with street collections and sending in donations. But the RNLI is becoming politically correct — like many other charities, it is alienating its core supporters.

The sacking of the volunteer crew over novelty mugs (Mail) shows this. These men put their lives at risk and are volunteers going out in dangerous seas. Unless it wants to lose donations from its supporters, it should reinstate these men and dismiss all disciplinary action.

Just because one visiting snowflake manager didn’t see the joke, could lives be put at risk?

There has always been a strong support for the RNLI in my town. My mother was for many years on the local committee and every year many helpers took part in house-tohouse collections, raising thousands.

These street collections have now been discontinued because the RNLI is modernising!

WILL the visiting woman manager earning more than £40,000 of our RNLI contributions be willing to go out to sea instead of the volunteers she has sacked?
