It takes a special kind of dumbass to neg lifeboats when we live on a *check notes* fucking island.

Darren Grimes claims to be a Christian. Perhaps someone could ask him how he squares his contempt for human life with those purported and much broadcast values. pic.twitter.com/hhEc3ly9VX

Hard to get your head around being from a country where a globally-respected life-saving maritime rescue organisation made up largely of volunteers has to defend what it does because some in our country would prefer that people drowned. What on earth has happened to Britain? https://t.co/TAO8qyD8gg

“I can’t believe Farage would have a go at the RNLI saving lives. He really is the lowest of the low” – all of Twitter.

“Hold my beer,” said Darren. “What about those b@st@rd guide dogs? We should drown them all…”

Ok, so you failed with the England team, and the RNLI fight isn’t going so well. Try an easy target next time. Go and pick on that fucker Attenborough.

There was another reaction to Farage and Grimes.

My friends @RNLI have asked me to thank Nigel Farage and Darren Grimes for promoting their fine organisation, they've taken more in donations this past few days than they have in years..

When you call the RNLI lefty morons for saving the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable people and then people donate to the RNLI to piss you off pic.twitter.com/9Ojvq1Ou9A

This. Look at this. We are, overall, good people. We outweigh the truly terrible. https://t.co/FiJCc7nXcI
