A lifeboat museum says it has been forced to close after its volunteers were targeted by anti-migrant protesters. Poole Old Lifeboat Museum said it made the decision after several incidents of "protesters verbally assaulting our volunteers". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62mq66lrqjo #RNLI #FarRight

    @afewbugs@social.coop Not the sharpest spoons in the drawer, are they?

    @afewbugs@social.coop It’s not an accident, somebody is paying a lot of dicks to make YouTube videos and fb posts about how the RNLI is deliberately importing migrants. Seeing the other story this morning about Ilfracombe pensioners breaking traffic lights because they cause brain cancer makes me think there is no story too stupid to not gain traction.

    @afewbugs@social.coop I wonder if any lawyers would like to comment on the RNLI suing people for defamation? I’m sure they’d be very reluctant to do so, but if nobody fights back, this scaremongering will get worse.

    @afewbugs@social.coop from the article: ”During the incident, the RNLI said it also helped to ensure the safety of anti-migrant protesters who had entered the sea off Portsmouth.” I’d say this was a mistake…

    @afewbugs@social.coop I think we need to call these 'protests' what they are: terrorism. If they want to protest against refugee policy, they should do it outside parliament or the Home Office, don't do it at a time and place where the objective is to intimidate or physically attack vulnerable people, humanitarian volunteers or emergency services.

    @afewbugs@social.coop Denser than the core of a neutron star. Mass migration has serious issues that should be part of public discourse, but this is not it.
