2 days ago, I phoned a friend who is a lifeboat manager and he agrees the funds are rapidly being used and not enough donations are being made. Many of the lads are sickened by having to stand by and watch this government wreck a vital lifesaving service. Some fear there will be no lifeboats due to people stopping donations. I did predict this when I contacted head office in Poole. Well, it was ignored and fell on deaf ears. Fat cats being paid to keep the taxis ticking over.
