Thank you RNLI


Inbox


From: Nick Lowles



'I can?t believe I need to say this, Ilona, but apparently it needs saying.


The RNLI are heroes and their selfless service around the coast is something we should all be grateful for.


This needs saying now because of a vile campaign to demonise people who are seeking to cross the channel in search of safety and a better life. Some far right activists and media bigmouths are so determined to make people angry about these people that they?ve even attacked the RNLI for rescuing people at sea when they?re in trouble.


It?s disgusting and we can?t let it go unanswered. That?s why we?re saying we stand with the RNLI. Can you share our graphic on social media and add your own words of thanks to build up a wall of hope to drown out the haters?


The plight of people seeking to get to Britain, to register as refugees, to try and build a better life, is desperate. The numbers of people trying to cross the channel are higher than in the past but still incredibly low. The campaign of harassment and abuse against these people is stomach-turning.


We?ve been quietly working behind the scenes to track and disrupt these far right activists and supporting the work of migrant charities. But now the campaign of vilification is breaking into the media, we must speak out.


Please add your voice on social media to defend the RNLI, and to say there?s no such thing as an ?illegal? human.


Thank you.


Nick

I don't think it's racist behaviour by Nigel Farage as you have stated.


Regular RNLI subscribers have also cancelled their donations too.

The RNLI owes Nigel thanks then for the publicity.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
