The @RNLI is in the news again, for doing what it's been doing for nearly two centuries - saving lives.
Here's a short thread on the founding of the #RNLI, and why it's truly a national treasure worth defending from angry keyboard warriors and callous politicians.

Sir William Hillary moved to the Isle of Man in 1808. The island is surrounded by treacherous waters, and in his time there Hillary saw many ships run aground on reefs or crash into cliffs, and he did his fair share of rescuing shipwrecked sailors.
There were around 2,000 shipwrecks on British and Irish coasts every year. There were already lifeboats in Britain, but they were usually small operations and they didn't cover everywhere. So in 1823 Hillary published a pamphlet which laid out his plan for a national service.
LONG THREAD: There have been quite a few things flying around recently about asylum seekers, the Borders Bill, rescues at sea, channel crossings and just general related bits and bobs which it might help clearing up some misconceptions about. 1/
First off #channelcrossings. Yes they are up in numbers, but, and this is really quite important, they are down at the moment in overall terms. This makes it quite hard to seriously argue, as some have, that the asylum system is "overwhelmed". 2/

As I said though, they are up, but if you look at the timeline of the increase it really isn't that surprising. With other routes closed, including effectively resettlement routes, asylum seekers are left with little other choice than to use them. 3/
