Those of you who may find themselves in nautical distress, may well have a few problems if you are white and middle class.Seemingly, Nanny's friends in her "respected" National Lottery feel that the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) is not adequately targeting its resources at those elements of society that Nanny feels are disadvantaged.
In view of this, the National Lottery will not award the RNLI a lottery grant.
As the RNLI point out, what are they meant to do before they respond to a distress call; go through an ethnic and socio economic monitoring questionnaire first?
Then ignore those people who don't fit in with Nanny's targeted groups?
Something is very wrong in this country.
Nanny has this "arse about face". She should be prosecuting boat owners for discriminating against minorities as the boat crews are obviously all able-bodied, heterosexual and white.
ReplyDeleteGiven enough time I'm sure they'll think of it...
boat crews are obviously all able-bodied, [i]heterosexual[/i] and white.
ReplyDeleteLuckily there maybe something that gets in her way.

Is there any actual evidence for this, or is it just based on a Daily Mail story?
ReplyDeleteFrom memory it was The TImes actually.
