They amd I dare say most of us broke the rules particularly when in the later stages of lockdowns it was not the killer that they'd initially stated.
But it was the law and they as leaders should have been following them to the letter.
Starmer, Rayner et al only got off on a technicality and a friendly police chief didn't they?

That is interesting Mr Bottles. As I am a strong supporter of the RNLI, I would welcome an insight to the dosh you refer to. Can you divulge their bank balance.

£796.3 million in total (includes assets etc) at the end of 2023, cash reserve of £138 million.*

They are a business, who are (100% legally) operating as a charity as far as I am concerned - as are the vast majority of the UK's so-called "charities".

The RSPCA euthanise more dogs than a Korean restaurant.

Check out these organisations thoroughly before you part with your cash...

true, and if you do your homework i,m sure you,ll find a local animal charity about who exist on small donations from individuals and are totally run by unpaid volunteers.

Very true indeed. Mrs Bottles supports such a Hartlepool-based organisation.

I'm NOT preaching to anyone that they should stop supporting charities, just advising that folk know exactly where their contributions go before they chuck their moolah in the bucket.
