Brighton lifeboat crew called out twice in just over 12 hours

The RNLI Brighton lifeboat was called out twice in just over 12 hours.

The volunteer crew received the first call shortly before midday yesterday (Sunday 21 April).

The RNLI said: “The volunteer crew was first paged at 11.54am on Sunday to a report of a capsized catamaran near Hove Lawns Café.

“The crew conducted a shoreline search and found the catamaran had corrected itself and headed inshore.

“The second callout took place at 12.20am today (Monday 22 April).

“The crew launched after a report that a vessel was in trouble just outside Brighton Marina.

“It was not moving although exhibiting navigation lights to indicate it was moving and equally it was not responding to radio messages.

“The lifeboat found an 80ft yacht anchored just south of the Marina entrance but the crew were unable to raise anyone aboard.

“It didn’t pose a risk to other water users and it was safely anchored.

“The crew stood down at 1.11am.

“If you get into trouble or spot someone else in difficulty, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.”

    There hardly seems to be a day goes by when people aren’t being dragged from the seas?
    But is anyone surprised anymore?
    This is becoming a daily occurrence and will continue to happen over the following months or even years! Unless things change!
    Why is this happening?
    For the same reason that every day, I read about people being dragged from the seas along our coast, found out at the bottom of the cliffs or ‘trespassers’ on railway lines, people being scraped off railway tracks !
    This can’t be happening you say?
    Just look up the Police officers that was killed trying to help a ‘distressed individual’ on railway tracks!
    This aren’t dreadful coincidences!
    It’s because people are being left with two choices!
    Starve to death or commit suicide!
    And in 2024, British people are being left to starve because the Conservative government has destroyed (not just everything the British people hold dear), but the welfare state that is not only there to protect people that fall on hard times, but to help people that become ill through no fault of their own! State assistance that people are ENTITLED to under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which the UK government are signatories to!
    Between 2010 & 2011, over ELEVEN THOUSAND official deaths were recorded by the DWP! Since then, the DWP and the Conservative Government REFUSES to disclose further figures of the death toll?
    But ‘insiders’ disgusted at what they are being told to do by the DWP and Conservative government ministers of the harm they being forced to cause, the insurmountable suffering, especially towards clearly sick and disabled people that has resulted in many deaths – including many deaths by suicide!
    According to ‘insiders’ over 170,000+ people have lost their lives since 2010 because of the Conservative Party’s callous indifference to people struggling to survive; including the sick and disabled people the Conservative Party has now declared all out war on!
    Add that total to the ;
    250,000 Covid negligence deaths!
    120,000 waiting for NHS operations deaths!
    The 250 per month waiting for ambulances deaths!
    The weekly suicides in prisons!
    That’s over 539,000 deaths!
    Half a million people dead, because these people are classed as – expendable worthless digits by a government and political Party that is completely devoid of any compassion or moral compass towards the health and well-being of their own people!!!
    And this death toll is growing EVERY SINGLE DAY, because the various charities that are there to protect the rights of sick and disabled people and to help the very people the Conservative government are systemically demonising 24/7, have been abandoned by these various charities that are meant to be helping and protecting them, instead of abandoning them to their fate rather than lose their millions in subsidies and funding by the government!
    Prove me otherwise charities that you haven’t been silenced?
    I implore all readers suffering and to all readers appalled at what is happening in this country in 2024 and to its people to contact the United Nations at:
    ohchr-InfoDesk@un.org
    and demand under Articles 2&3 of the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to bring Genocide charges against the Conservative Party for their systemic attacks on poor and disabled people and to end this callous administrations reign of fear and terror against the most vulnerable people in our society, a Conservative government that has been already condemned by the United Nations because of the continuous violations of human rights of sick and disabled people in 2011 and have since added thousands of new complaints about this same Conservative government!
    People are hanging on by the finger tips!
    Every day this abomination of a government is allowed to continue it’s reign of tyranny against the poor, the sick and the vulnerable…….the more deaths there will be!

      Why did write all that irrelevant drivel?
      No one will read more than the first few words.
      What a complete and utter waste of our precious time?
