Throughout WW2 the RNLI saved downed Luftwaffe pilots from the seas.
Because that's what the RNLI does. It saves lives. Regardless of who they are or why they're there. That's something to be immensely proud of if you're British.
This attitude is not.
Whoever made the disgraceful decision to pick up illegal migrants from French waters after those migrants refused to be rescued by the French should be sacked TODAY. What next - a taxpayer funded luxury ferry service?
