The group says more than emails have been sent so far

“We are focused on our primary goal of saving lives at sea and our 24/7 rescue service remains fully operational. “

It comes after far-right organization Britain First encouraged its members to complain to the charity over its rescues of people crossing the Channel.

However, the RNLI’s decision to take down its website does not appear to be related to the email campaign.

The group said online: “Britain First has launched a campaign of complaints against the RNLI to pressure it to drop its support for illegal immigration and human trafficking and instead focus on saving British lives along our coastal areas “.

A link shared with his Telegram channel claims to allow users to send one of three pre-written messages to RNLI chief executive Mark Dowie.


In response to the removal of the RNLI website, international refugee job function email database law scholar Dan Sohege, director of Stand For All, lambasted Britain First on Twitter.

“Absolute and total support for the RNLI and the incredible work it does,” he wrote.

“The people who feed it down like Britain First, and anyone who attacks them for saving asylum seekers, are the scum of society.

“They certainly don’t represent the majority of people.”

It happened as dozens of migrants were rescued from the English channel last night after emergency services rushed to respond to calls for help in dangerous conditions.
