A lifeboat station on the south coast of England near the spot where far-right activists tried to stop asylum seekers landing has been forced to temporarily close, it has emerged.
The station in Portsmouth shut after it and other sites run by the RNLI were targeted by people objecting to the lifeboat charity going to the aid of people trying to get to the UK on small boats.
Jacqui Irons, the head of the south-east region of the RNL, said: “Portsmouth lifeboat station has been temporarily off-service since 7 September. We have a duty of care to our people. We therefore took the decision to pause activity at the station to review crew safety and wellbeing, and to support those involved in the incident on 6 September.”
The charity said it did not mean there had been a lack of cover around Portsmouth, one of the busiest maritime areas in the UK.
An RNLI spokesperson said: “Search and rescue cover continues to be provided through established contingency arrangements, including flank RNLI stations and other declared assets.
“At times, it is not unusual for lifeboat stations around the UK and Ireland to be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or other operational requirements.
“In such circumstances, established contingency arrangements are put in place to ensure continued search and rescue cover.”
On Sunday 6 September two RNLI crews helped bring a dinghy carrying 120 asylum seekers to Eastney in Portsmouth, a few hundred metres from the lifeboat station.
Far-right activists were among those who tried to blockade the road leading to the landing spot, and police officers were injured.
In the days after, lifeboat crew members were called traitors and protests took place against the charity, including at the RNLI headquarters in nearby Poole.
A museum in Poole telling the story of the RNLI also closed temporarily, and Portsmouth lifeboat station took down its Facebook page.
RNLI volunteers across the UK were told that they should consider not wearing RNLI branded clothing if they felt this could put them at risk. They have also been advised that they should feel empowered to close shops or lifeboat stations if they feel in danger.
The RNLI has defended its work in the Channel, saying that for more than 200 years it rescued people without judgment, fear or favour. It said rumours that the RNLI housed asylum seekers on its premises, or that there were RNLI missions to move migrants to secret locations, were “completely baseless and untrue”.
The charity said RNLI lifeboats launched 9,058 times in 2025 but that only 109 of those callouts were to small boats in the Channel, representing 1.2% of its rescue work.
Show me the pictures and videos of them in the channel.
The “lifeboat” creeps are dumping them half a mile out and then pushing them towards shore. Most likely they’re picking them up from france, but they could just as likely be picking them up from dover or heathrow. And a hundred every few days does not add up to the 880,000 that are being imported every year.
But you’re already dead, so there’s little point in talking about it.
Anyone and everyone assisting the orc invasions in any way, shape, or form should be chased through the streets and hanged.
As for the less than worthless black or brown orcs, the screening process should be very simple. Ask them, “What do you offer the cuntry you are trying to enter? Why should you be allowed in?” Then run them through on the f*cking spot since 99.99999999% of them won’t be able to give a suitable answer and they would only be a parasite and an agent of degradation and destruction.
It was the first time, really, in my life that I raised my voice at her complete inability to see the reality of what’s happening. Yes, she’s old, but she’s never been stupid. She’s always been on the ball, but when you watch the BBC and read the Daily Mail then you get incredibly indoctrinated and brainwashed people.
We were discussing the situation of the protests in Dover and she stated “it was awful. They were saying the most awful things to the lifeboat men…” at which point I stated “saying? Had I been there they’d have been getting a good kicking!” I told her that these people had rescued illegals, not asylum seekers and that many, if not all, are convicted criminals whose only intent was to harm British men, women and children. I explained that these people have rescued people with the same intent as Axel Rudakubana, the Southport killer. She just looked at me with a frown on her face and said: “Oh, they’re just fleeing war. They’re poor men, women and children, coming for a better life…blah…blah…” and of course I raised my voice, just livid that she believed so much crap from the MSM.
This is the reality in the UK. People, courtesy of MSM indoctrination and brainwashing truly do believe that the majority of illegals are women and children. This is why we have a serious problem, because the only thing that’s going to wake them up is when they lose loved ones and friends to the invading hordes. It doesn’t matter that other people are because until they individually experience the suffering, they’re not going to wake up. It perfectly illustrates what Soviet dissident – Yuri Bezmenov – said in his 1984 interview with G Edward Griffin on Ideological Subversion:
“The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already. For the last twenty-five years, actually it’s over-fulfilled because the demoralization now reaches such areas where previously not even comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such a tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragic of the situation of demoralization.”
If a thousand fully armed warships packed with enemy soldiers were to all sink half a mile out, the [R]unning [N]arcotics and [L]ies [I]ndustry would go and “rescue” them.
A hit piece of propaganda from the FAR LEFT STAZI. Put you F’ing lentils down and grow a backbone you Pasty faced Hate filled anti British RACIST SCUM
Of those ‘more than 200 years’, probably 170 years of rescue had to do with mostly white euro victims of war and shipwreck- not shuttling nonwhite migrant invaders into what used to be white countries. Big difference.
If you “work” for the “RNLI” – we all hate you. Just as you’d hate anyone who brought a boatload of shit and dumped it on you. We don’t care if you “care” about immicunts in boats. It ain’t your cuntry to give away. If you like them so much, why don’t you go and live in their country? If you claim to be “good”, why don’t you sail back across the channel and leave them there? Why don’t you collect them and them ship them all the way back to their god forsaken hole? Who gave you the right to fuck up everyone else’s life because you feel “good”? Let’s do a Lucy Connelly and burn down your buldings and boats, then you couldn’t “rescue” them could you? Your £177,000 a year “ceo” doesn’t live where they do does it? And “royal”? Fuck off! The “royals” are as cunt as you are. Wankers!
try telling ai about “immigrants”. it throws endless “you want fewer immigrants” at you. even if you SCREAM AT IT with WE DON’T WANT ANY OF THEM, it still says “tighter migrant rules”. not that ai matters, but you have the same thing with the ones doing it. i’m so sick of britain and all that it represents. i literally hate the place.
