The Lifeboat Association Is Deeply Rooted in People's Psyche

I've never really heard of anyone having negative opinions about lifeboats until relatively recently. Recently they've come under fire from Britain first and for encouraging people to take the risk of traveling on small boats to the United Kingdom to claim asylum. I think it was astonishing actually or I think it astonished people that the lifeboat association would be politicized in the way that was that was attempted by the right. The whole idea of picking and choosing who one would rescue at sea is simply preposterous.
