Police Work to Protect RNLI in Dorset Amid Opposition to Small Boat Rescues
The charity vowed to keep helping asylum seekers despite rightwing abuse, as protesters gathered outside its headquarters, according to The Guardian.
Three police forces on England's south coast are working to protect Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers, staff and buildings from rightwing activists who blame the charity for helping asylum seekers reach Britain, The Guardian reported.
About 50 protesters gathered outside the RNLI's Poole headquarters, with dozens of Dorset police officers posted to protect the site, according to the report. The charity vowed to continue its rescue work in the Channel.
