More deaths in the channel.

No matter how you try to impose your lack of knowledge- it’s still wrong.

Nobody is arguing that safety equipment isn’t essential and nobody followed you down the hole to say otherwise.

The fact remains is that a vessel is designed for a class according to the likely conditions - can it cope with 10ft waves / 40kt winds etc.

It is then coded for uses. Safety equipment, fire suppression, life jackets, flairs. Etc. none of this affects its ability to cope with the sea conditions

There was nothing inherently wrong with the titanic- it sunk because there was a failure to keep a lookout and they were proceeding at a speed unsafe for the conditions and visibility. This resulted in hitting an iceberg which made a very large hole in the ship.

No matter how you twist and turn.

You've been caught out on other misinformation today already.

Emergency equipment is essential for any liner etc to be seaworthy. You may call it incidental or additional. But it's part of the basic requirements, as is evacuation of the ship planning.

The irony in that Titanic digression is they didn't have enough lifeboats to cross the Atlantic and now we have too many crossing the Channel.

You need to be careful of both the VAT man and Tampons...... they can both blow up in your face.

Is that a threat?

 

[Roy Bloom]

Utter nonsense

Utterly pointless post.

It was of course seaworthy. Any seaworthy vessel will probably sink if you make a large hole in it allowing everything that is meant to be on the outside to be on the inside.

It was so seaworthy over 1000 people lost their lives on its maiden voyage.

French mayor blames Britain for lax employment conditions for being a draw. Not wrong is he.

Is he wrong?

“If migrants want to go to England, it’s for a good reason, it’s because they’re welcomed, they can work without a contract, they can work illegally.

If asylum seekers were allowed to work legally, there wouln't be a black market for workers.

I had a direct debit set up for 25 years 10 quid a month so direct payments so £3k contributions in that period, as a sailing club member for 20 years I was involved in various annual fundraisers.
I said on here I was cancelling my direct debit because I wasn't prepared to contribute toward a taxi service for illegal immigrants and having done so posted a copy of the reply from the RNLI.

Now if you feel strongly about it, make the shortfall up yourself, you help fund them. If you don't. then your a ******* hypocrite.

Charity donations are entirely voluntary.
It's wrong of you, on so many levels, to try to blackmail someone into making donations.

I did say in my post that I thought he's not wrong, I do acknowledge his need to shift the blame from the French part played in the deaths.

Totall voluntary.
Are you telling us because you want a medal?

Silly post.

It has to be in the interest of the French authority's in Northern France for us to stop the attraction and for them to stop the boats.

Nothing in it for you, of course.

I look like a quarry someone has dynamited.

 

[motorbiking]

Can you provide any source for these claims?
The remit for saving lives at sea doesn't have a caveat towards race or religion as far as i'm aware.

It’s been discussed before.

It was so seaworthy over 1000 people lost their lives on its maiden voyage.

Do you think it would have sunk had it not hit an iceberg?

 

[Roy Bloom]

So tell me, why do you think I should support them if you don't.

It's totally vountary.

 

[Roy Bloom]

It's our fault. Not France's.

Choice, It's UK choice.
