My grand dad once told me how to tell the difference between government compassion and stupidity. To paraphrase, if there are 1,000 people on a shipwreck and 100 are known illegals, compassion rescues everyone; stupidity cancels the program because of the illegals and all the people drown.

What a fantastic piece of specialist recovery kit the RNLI have to recover these large very heavy vessels from open flat beaches. The large wide tracks are ideal for wet sandy conditions and it makes the recovery so much easier. There are a number of mindless comments on here from people who clearly do not understand the difficulty of recovery large heavy vessels in such circumstances. The cost of such specialist equipment that varies all around our coast is very expensive and we should all strive to give that bit extra to the RNLI.

Having read some of the OTT comments here .. reminds me of an Australian joke. "How do you know when a plane load of English immigrants arrives in Sydney?" ... "The whining doesn't stop when they turn the engines off !!" From memory many, if not most, English people can't swim and would be thankful for any rescue vehicle at sea. It's a law of the sea that you go to the aid of those in distress, doesn't matter who they are. I live in New Zealand, an Australian immigrant at 7 years old, and born in Birmingham, England. Can't believe some of the negativity towards this service. Cheers.

Sometimes the lifeboat is used in rough stormy weather when waves are pounding the shore lifting the stern up off the mud and allowing the broadside of the boat to react in the 30 MPH wind. Me thinks this staged demo would look a whole lot different.

That boat can perform in very bad weather. Without details I don't know but I highly doubt you'd be going out in anything like the conditions it is designed for. It is not a pleasure boat, it's for all-weather rescue, part of a fleet intended to cover the whole British coastline. Not just where it's convenient to launch. There are larger ones, but not suitable for this base.

Why is it a waste of money. The system is designed to allow rapid launch at any state of tide (the turntable turns the lifeboat around once recovered and it's (once refuelled as required) ready to launch again .). The Shannon and it's launching system are designed to work at all states of tide across a variety of surfaces (sand, steep gravel). Allowing rapid launch and safe recovery. And less damage than dragging it up and entire beach
