No No No, just No!

Could you imagine a civil service run RNLI. Budgets, buy cheap, run stock that is so old your average yacht has better equipment. Waiting months for them to buy spares etc.

Then there would be full time lifeboatmen, who just need a job, nothing to do with experience etc. Then employment law, H&S say it is too rough and there might be a danger if you launch in anything over F5.

Then job creation schemes, out of work six months, make em crew the lifeboat for dole + £10 per week etc.

Don't believe me, hmmmmm, I bet I am not too wide of the mark.
