The RNLI faces questions after suspending lifeboat operations in Portsmouth following reported physical and online abuse directed at volunteers involved in rescuing migrants from the Channel. Commentator Paul Cox argues that the decision risks leaving local people without an immediate RNLI service and questions whether the charity has inadvertently entered the political battle over illegal migration. However, both he and Kevin O’Sullivan stress that volunteer crews cannot choose whom they rescue and should not be blamed for carrying out their life-saving duties. #RNLI #Portsmouth #MigrantCrisis Have you got a story?
