More deaths in the channel.

Of course they don’t. But the north coast of france is not the coastal waters of the U.K. it’s costing them a lot of money and its money they no longer can rely on having.

They are making cut backs due to lack of funding and overstretched resources.

Doesn't seem to agree with the facts

Many donors are unhappy with their focus on illegal immigrants and the significant impact on their resources and no longer want to fund them. There are also allegations from the inside that they have become WOKE and some volunteers have left for that reason. That is their choice.

On what do you base your assumptions?

The 'allegations from the inside' was one member of border force who does not even work on the coast.
They were a Union rep at an airport.

Nor the responsibility of national charities set up to save lives in the inland and coastal waters of the U.K.

They are of course free to change their stated aim (as they did) but they risk losing the support of those who have funded them (as evidenced).

support for the RNLI has gone up since people like you have made an issue of it.

It seems not everybody hates foreigners and wants them to drown

Donations to RNLI rise as Britain First demands it loses charitable status

'Reverse trolling' has boosted the rescue organisation's fund, despite an 86,000-name petition against it

Carefully worded PR Notch. Their financial reports show what is actually happening.

I don’t want anyone to drown nor do I hate foreigners. I would like fewer people for throw their lives in danger because they think someone will rescue them on their inflatable carrier bag

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.

It didn't!

The hull was not punctured, but rather dented such that the steel plates of the hull buckled and separated, allowing water to rush in.

Is that true?

funding increased in 2022 (latest available figures)

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.

If there were safe routes, there wouldn't be any deaths.

 

[Roy Bloom]

Silly post.

He wants recognition for his genorosity.

 

[Roy Bloom]

It’s been discussed before.
Do you think it would have sunk had it not hit an iceberg?

Hypothetical argument.
Dp you think it will rain tomorrow if the sun doen't shine?

I’ve just had a quick read of their financial reports, I can’t see what you claim.

once again you are making assertions that aren’t borne out by the facts

Don't go hitting icebergs at full tilt then, would seem the obvious answer if you don't want to suffer the consequences.

What's that got to do with present day conditions they're operating on, roll eyes.

Mindreader now along with being able to play the flute. Roll eyes.

And I mean both paragraphs of yours

That’s pretty much the definition of a hole.

The gaps, the longest of which measures about 39 feet (12 m) long, appear to have followed the line of the hull plates. This suggests that the iron rivets along the plate seams snapped off or popped open to create narrow gaps through which water flooded. ... ... Faults in the ship's hull may have been a contributing factor. Recovered pieces of Titanic's hull plates appear to have shattered on impact with the iceberg without bending.

The plates in the central part of Titanic's hull (covering approximately 60 per cent of the total) were held together with triple rows of mild steel rivets, but the plates in the bow and stern were held together with double rows of wrought iron rivets which may have been near their stress limits even before the collision. These "Best" or No. 3 iron rivets had a high level of slag inclusions, making them more brittle than the more usual "Best-Best" No. 4 iron rivets, and more prone to snapping when put under stress, particularly in extreme cold.
