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?

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?

Having lived at the seaside in my childhood I always thought they were a worthwhile charity. They will never get another penny from me.

I'm in two minds as it's one of my favourite charities. My annual donation has just been paid so will definitely reconsider next year's.
How sad , I have so much respect for the guys n girls at the sharp end , typical fat cat abuse once more , how do these people sleep at night
Wake up to the Charities scam. Stop letting them abuse you emotionally to pilfer your hard earned.
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

Go woke go broke,a shame though.
disgraceful how could they damage the brand in this way. They will loose thousands. Someone should loose their job
Its bloody discusting,I'll never give them another penny
I don't donate to any charity anymore cos they can't be trusted to do what they are supposed to with the money, this example makes that glaringly obvious.
The rich in this country compete to get brownie points and make themselves look good by giving to foreign charities but totally ignore the poverty on their own doorstep. Charity should begin at home, I talk to homeless people and will only help them if they are British. Doesn't matter what their colour white or black as long as its obvious they are British born. I won't give to anyone who should be working or going home to their own country and not begging on British streets.

Surely this is a scam, obtaining money on false pretences?
As far as I can see this lot swim pretty well anyway, look at how many have shown up on our coastal areas recently.

Charities are run by administrators who are far removed from the volunteers and retained workers at the sharp end. The politics of the university are in all the "top" jobs, that's how the system works. These brainwashed fools will ruin the world with their global agenda.
