Firstly members of the RNLI all make themselves available when needed.
If you are not willing to do that then you don't join. Same could and by the looks will apply to the RDF.
Secondly we have paid rescue services but when needed the RNLI jumps in and augments the services.
We have a paid DF so when needed the reserve should step up and augment the service. What ever that might mean.
Thirdly the members of the RNLI attend regular training with out looking for payments.
The RDF has always done this but there was the Grat and there still is the paid FTT.
I have never heard of members of the Coast Guard services complain that members of the RNLI are trying to take their jobs, has anyone?
But at the mere mention of RDF doing something worthwhile for free we have RDF members going nuts and crying into their milk about being asked to work for free and the PDF members going on about taking foood from their mouths.
What a load of Boll**ks!!!!
