'Don't bring any more of those': people try to stop crew going to sea to save refugees


 


The RNLI has confirmed an incident took place following claims a lifeboat crew was blocked from going to sea by people opposing the rescuing of refugees in the Channel. Hastings, which has a population of about 100,000, is on the frontline of the small boat arrivals. Refugees have been landing on its beach since 2019 but in line with the overall tripling of numbers this year there has been a huge increase, particularly in the last month.
