There’s an old Chinese proverb along the lines of “We all become what we hate”, but it’s not usually so literal.

I was just thinking that Farage could do with some more publicity

Yeah let’s just make a joke about the thousands of invaders that illegally enter our country on a monthly basis

Surely it would be Stephen Yaxley Lennon. That is a much better choice.

Are they really going to name a life boat cuntface?

As long as they name it something like “Frogface” I’d get behind this, but actually naming it after him feels like the sort of thing that could backfire. Imagine every time that boat makes a rescue it gets in the papers. Free headlines to keep that bloated bag of bile front and centre.

With all the dodgy money he has got, Farage can’t just buy one himself, he has to get others to pay for it

I like the idea behind it, but not naming it after this twat. He’ll lean into it and capitalize on it.
The best bet to get to him would be to name it after someone he dislikes. The President Zelensky or the Sadiq Khan

I respect the joke, but the RNLI shouldn’t follow through.
Aside from defending themselves, they shouldn’t lower themselves to this sort of thing. They’re better than that.

I love it. Unironically the most good he’s done for the country in his entire disgusting career.

before I read the article I thought they were trying to replace the dingy so i looked up the estimated total costs to the british government of a single dinghy. Using averages, a dingy does 67 runs of 350 people who each cost the taxpayer 530k over their lifetime, which means each boat equals £9.36 billion in costs… suffice to say I’m glad they’re not replacing the dinghy
