Buccaneer Bill :
Perhaps MCA need to invest in a media ops team -
They already have a
PR Department - but unless the "event" happens on the South Coast they aren't interested.
or perhaps they should just carry on the good work and spend our money wisely
They don't!!
Their Future Coastguard Project was a "jobs for the boys" exercise and introduced another level of "management". They have also replaced many experienced Coastal Rescue practitioners with displaced Ops Room Staff. Whilst they may be very good in their previous post - they will find life at the coal face a different ball game.Sadly it will be left to the volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officers to "carry" these inexperienced "managers" until they get the required experience to become competent.
