Anti-migrant protesters in the UK have mistakenly targeted the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), a charity that supports people with visual impairments. The confusion arose because some protesters thought the RNIB was the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a separate organization that rescues people in distress at sea. The RNIB has clarified that it is not involved in maritime rescue operations, explaining that the "B" in its name stands for "Blind," not "Boat." The charity has faced online abuse, with some individuals falsely accusing it of helping small boat migrants enter the UK and even threatening to stop donating money unless the organization stops what they claim are illegal immigration activities. The RNLI, which is correctly targeted by some far-right groups, has been at the center of controversy due to its work rescuing migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. Recently, the RNLI rescued 140 people from a single dinghy that had set out from France. Volunteers with the RNLI have faced harassment, including the leaking of personal details, prompting an investigation by Sussex Police. Meanwhile, the RNIB has also been advised to take additional security measures, as some of its volunteers have been labeled as "traitors" and subjected to both physical and online abuse. Digital Secretary Lisa Nandy has expressed concern over the threats and doxxing—revealing personal information—of volunteers involved in rescue efforts. She has indicated that she will bring the issue to the attention of social media platforms. RNLI chief executive Peter Sparkes has condemned those who engage in such behavior, calling their actions "wholly unacceptable" and criticizing those who "hide behind a balaclava or a keyboard." In a separate incident, anti-immigrant protesters gathered outside a hotel in Portsmouth, mistakenly believing that a Pakistani cricket team was being taken there as asylum seekers. The demonstration, involving up to 50 people, was based on the false belief that "four coach loads" of migrants were arriving at the hotel. This occurred just days after asylum seekers were taken ashore in the same city, highlighting the confusion and misinformation that have been fueling recent protests.
