RNLI

lew...............you beat me to it...........crews at Penlee showed the highest act of bravery and in my book should have all been awarded the George Cross. I'm in the Fire and an ex marine once told me that the Penlee crews were so, so brave..............hear hear
should the bean counters be driving beemers?
not in my view but the reality is that these types aren't in it for the love of the regime (RNLI/POLICE/FIRE/AMBO'S/NHS/ARMED FORCES etc.) they will quickly move on if they don't get the perks. They're mostly the type who could never do it at the sharp end but are more than happy to rub shoulders with the celebs at fundraising bashes, unfortunately we're stuck with them whether we like it or not
the public rightly hold the RNLI in high esteem and that's probably why they're doing so well with fundraising. HMG are closing the Crosby MCA centre and switching it all to Wales..............local knowledge does count when the chips are down and its frightening that bean counters can be so callous. RNLI/POLICE/FIRE/AMBO'S/NHS/ARMED FORCES are all under severe attack from HMG and once they're gone we wont get them back. Support your local stations or face the consequences when you need them
