RNLI reaffirms Channel migrant rescues amid far-right abuse campaign

The RNLI has publicly committed to continuing rescue operations for asylum seekers in the English Channel after volunteers faced online and physical abuse from far-right agitators following recent small boat landings. The charity denies baseless rumors that it houses or relocates migrants, emphasizing that such rescues are a minor part of its work. This marks a notable escalation in domestic tensions around migration policy in the UK, with potential implications for political discourse and public safety.
