‘Patriots’ who insisted ‘All Lives Matter’ celebrate closure of RNLI station dedicated to saving all lives
by Rich Smith 2 months ago 
‘Patriots’ who spent several years loudly insisting that “All Lives Matter” are celebrating today after helping force the closure of an RNLI station whose volunteers had made the controversial decision to save all lives.
Portsmouth Lifeboat Station has temporarily been taken out of service following protests, threats and abuse directed at volunteers after its crews assisted in the rescue of migrants from the Channel.
The development has been welcomed by local patriots, who explained that when they said “All Lives Matter”, they hadn’t expected anyone to actually take them literally.
Local patriot Simon Williams told us, “Obviously all lives matter. That’s why I said it repeatedly on Facebook underneath every post about Black Lives Matter for about four years.
“But when I said ‘all’, I meant the normal sort of all. You know, which actually means some lives.
“I certainly didn’t mean that people should go around recklessly saving absolutely anyone who happens to be drowning.”
Williams said the RNLI had brought much of the criticism upon itself by adopting the extremist position that lifeboat crews should rescue people in danger at sea regardless of their nationality, ethnicity or immigration status.
He continued, “They don’t even check whether someone deserves to be rescued before pulling them out of the water.
“What sort of country are we living in when a volunteer lifeboat crew can’t leave a drowning man to die just because some of us don’t like where he was born?”
Fellow patriot Derek Matthews said intimidating volunteers until their lifeboat station was taken out of service represented an important victory for people who care deeply about British lives.
He explained, “Yes, technically this means there is now one less operational lifeboat station available to rescue British fishermen, sailors, swimmers and children who get into trouble in and around Portsmouth.
“But that’s a small price to pay to ensure a foreigner doesn’t accidentally remain alive.”
He added, “All lives still matter, obviously.
“Just not enough to actually save them.”
