<div><strong>I am trying to raise enough money to buy a new lifesaving hovercraft for the RNLI, and I would like it to be called 'The Flying Farage.'</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I feel that this would be incredibly appropriate due to Mr Farage taking such an active interest in the RNLI's activities right now. If there is any money left over, we will purchase a pint of real English ale to smash against the front in the naming ceremony, and if there is loads of money left over we may even buy a second vessel and call it 'The Galloping Grimes' or 'The Hovering Hopkins.'

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>… or how about ‘The Rushing Ratcliffe?’ I’m pretty sure Sir Jim appreciates the concept of heading overseas in search of a better life.

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please give generously.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Legal Note: All funds will be paid directly from GoFundMe to the RNLI - this is a 'fundraiser' and not a 'crowdfunder.' The final decision about whether or not to proceed with 'The Flying Farage' is entirely at their discretion.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As it stands (January 2026), all donations to ‘The Flying Farage’ are being ringfenced for running costs at RNLI stations around the South-East corner of England - this means that there’s always a very good chance that donations will go towards helping the very people that Farage and many other ruddy-faced gammons love screaming at in The Channel. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This arrangement was confirmed again recently by my RNLI contact. However, if they ever change their mind about how these funds are used, I’ll let you all know.

</div>

<div>The overall total includes a few related appeals I have done directly on the Facebook platform (Facebook fundraising) as well as elsewhere on GoFundMe.

</div>

</div>

<div>Also, because some idiots are now confusing the RNLI with the RNIB, you can support their amazing work as well <a href="https://www.rnib.org.uk/get-involved/donate/help-families-like-joannas-with-a-regular-gift/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RIGHT HERE</a>

<div><b>NB: If you’re here for ‘The Tremendous Tommo,’ I am legally obliged to point out that the RNLI have the right to choose to spend any funds raised on their own lifeboat stations instead before replacing whatever the hell that other ‘Patriotic’ small boat was … ah, irony. </b>
