If they are outside of the UK and the charities are aiding and abetting a crime for them to break legal immigration laws, then I agree with him. If they are in UK territorial waters and it's the RNLI rescuing a boat in distress then I don't. Pretty simple.

Yeah, I dont often find myself agreeing with corrupt shit stirrers like Nige, but depending on precisely what he means here, i dont think its a contraversial take.

Edit: This might be my moat downvoted comment this year...Maybe it is a contraversial take

I think Nigel is changing the words “charities” and “people smugglers” to imply that charities in the uk that help (anyone in need) are aiding and abetting illegal activities .

Nigel being the well known 5 star disingenuous lying traitor cunt that we all know and sigh at.

He is. He means the RNLI when he says 'charities'.
