The Royal NATIONAL (not International) Lifeboat Institution has had a tonne of British donors cancel their regular donations after it was revealed they spent £3.3million on burkinis for Muslims & swimming lessons overseas... What are your thoughts?
I sent them all the proceeds of the donations given to me at my Father's funeral, a former sailor and this was his favourite charity. Recently I had a begging email from them asking for money for a plaque with his name to go on display of a new boat so I paid for it but hearing this proper pissed me off, It should be spent solely for buying boats and equipment etc. for use around the coastline in this country and I wonder exactly how much is being siphoned off, bastards.

I dont trust any charities anymore especially after hearing this and finding out our veterans weren't getting any help from help for heroes, only charity I give to is the Legion
I’m sorry to hear that Kev. It’s a betrayal of trust and whilst they have hit back saying ‘well we published this on our website’, they fail to acknowledge that people like yourself feel misled.
I'm in the same boat mate (pun intended?) at my uncles funeral people where asked to make donations to the RNLI instead of buying flowers as he was a keen boat owner and fishermen, I know he'd never have wanted it to go on anything except equipment and running the boats that keep people safe around our coasts.

Just been outside and took their sticker off the back of the car. No more donations from me either.
You'd never believe how many lifeboat stations I've deliverabtly visited ro get my bear with its name on where I visited seeing this makes me think again
What a cheek people have given to this charity thinking it is a british charity. They have been conned and should demand their money back. It’s a disgrace.
Large charities are massive profit making companies with unpaid volunteers at the grafting end and obscenely highly paid execs at the top. The RNLI, on top of all that, is just insulting its donors and blatantly ripping them off. It poses the question, what are other charities up to?
It's because Muslims are the new spastics. They get all the special treatment spastics used to get because they don't know how to have sexual interhorse properly.... And they do have sexual interhorse, believe me . Can we get the beastiality memes going?
My thoughts are charity begins at home. This is unacceptable use of donated money by the tax payer, misled into thinking the money was invested on home soil. I’d be furious had I donated. Very underhand and dishonest
and I wonder exactly how much is being siphoned off, bastards.
