I believe the RNLI are responding to legitimate concerns that people might drown.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth.
Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be.
Please RT if you agree🙏

Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI
They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live

Everyday Hymns is the ridiculously impressive debut from Goliath (Jack Fagan). Bought on the recommendation of the lovely man at Vox Box on Friday and can't stop listening to it. I thought Blizzard by Dove Ellis was nailed on to be my favourite LP this year but this runs it very very close.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030.
That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

His Today programme monologue on Trump, war in Iran, and the history of the Middle East was exactly how the BBC should be reporting on the world.

What is happening to US democracy is obviously very worrying and heartbreaking, but I’m concerned that the complacent attitude in the UK is that it wouldn’t happen here, when it very easily could. In some ways, from the “hostile environment” to limits on protest, it already has.

Suella Braverman claims Italy have built a wall on the mythical 'Italy-Turkey land border'
We have to put that in inverted commas because there are almost 2,000km between the Italian and Turkish borders. Did you mean Greece?
