慈善委员会主席朱莉娅·昂温爵士预计将在今天于伦敦市中心举行的年度股东大会上发表以下讲话,谴责针对英国皇家救生艇协会救援人员的骚扰和虐待行为。
Dame Julia Unwin, chairwoman of the Charity Commission, is expected to deliver the following remarks at the AGM today in central London, condemning the harassment and abuse of RNLI rescuers.
“我希望借此机会,以最强烈的言辞谴责英国皇家救生艇协会志愿者在最近几周——乃至几个月甚至几年里——所面临的暴行和恐吓。“慈善机构必须只做符合其宗旨和目标的事情。
"I want to use this opportunity to condemn in the strongest terms the thuggery and intimidation that volunteers of the RNLI have faced over recent weeks – and indeed over months and even years. "Charities must only do things that meet their purpose and objects.
“对英国皇家救生艇协会而言,这意味着营救海中处于危险中的人。“这不是他们的权利。“这是他们的绝对职责。
"For the RNLI that means rescuing people in peril in the sea. "It is not their right to do so. "It is their absolute duty.
“慈善行业必须有勇气容忍激烈的辩论,各慈善机构必须接受,由于价值观、政治、信仰或身份的原因,人们可能会不赞成他们的工作。
"The charitable sector must have the courage to tolerate vigorous debate, individual charities must accept that people might disapprove of their work, for reasons of values, politics, faith or identity.
“事实上,我们应该欢迎不同的观点,将其视为我们生活在一个每个人都拥有良心自由的社会的证据。
"We should in fact welcome differences of view as evidence that we are living in a society in which everyone has freedom of conscience.
“但我们绝不能习惯于犯罪或准犯罪的虐待。”大家早上好,欢迎来到我们的英国政治实时博客,我是今天接替安德鲁·斯帕罗的弗朗西斯·毛。
"But we must never grow accustomed to criminal or para-criminal abuse." Good morning and welcome to our UK politics live blog, I'm Frances Mao stepping in for Andrew Sparrow today.
英国经济今早公布的0.1%增长数据好于预期——市场原本预计8月份会出现小幅萎缩,但人工智能支出再次提振了经济。
UK economy's 0.1% growth figure this morning is better than expected – markets had prepared for a slight contraction for August but once again, AI spending has boosted the economy.
然而,这一头条数字并不能掩盖通货膨胀和政府债务加剧的更深层次问题;人们仍在狂热地猜测希利将如何在两周后的首份预算案中解决这一问题。凯米·巴德诺克昨天加入伦敦金融城的批评合唱,谴责对银行加税的想法。
That headline figure doesn't mask the deeper issues though of rising inflation and government debt; fevered speculation continues on how Healey will address this in his first budget in two weeks time. Kemi Badenoch joined the City's critical chorus yesterday in denouncing the idea of slapping higher taxes on the banks.
与此同时,在反移民示威活动之后,慈善监管机构预计将在今天猛烈抨击英国皇家救生艇协会志愿者近几周面临的“暴行和恐吓”。
Meanwhile, the charities regulator today is expected to lambast the "thuggery and intimidation" faced by Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteeers in recent weeks, following anti-migrant demonstrations.
该慈善机构负责在海上拯救生命,在面对极右翼团体和煽动者的狂轰滥炸般的虐待后,不得不暂时暂停其在朴次茅斯的活动。此前,这些救生员在协助救援乘坐小船的寻求庇护者时,遭到这些称其为“叛徒”的人的辱骂。
The charity, which saves lives at sea, had to temporarily pause its work at Portsmouth after facing a barrage of abuse from far-right groups and agitators calling the lifesavers "traitors" after instances when they helped rescue asylum seekers on small boats.
除了这些威胁之外,英国改革党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇此前曾将英国皇家救生艇协会称为“移民出租车服务”。
In addition to those threats, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has previously called the RNLI a "migrant taxi service".
昨天,《卫报》报道称法拉奇呼吁对帮助寻求庇护者的非政府组织及其志愿者进行刑事起诉。他在对一名美国右翼播客说话时声称,此类组织“在绝对方方面面实际上都协助和教唆了犯罪”。
Yesterday, the Guardian reported Farage's call for NGOs and their volunteers who help asylum seekers to face criminal prosecution Talking to a rightwing US podcaster he claimed such groups had "actually aided and abetted criminality in absolutely every way".
*当被问及他是否相信“对协助侵略英格兰群岛的人实施刑事处罚”时,他回答说:完全相信,完全相信。非政府组织的角色,那些由纳税人资金资助的组织的角色,因为他们很好、很善良、很仁慈。他们在绝对方方面面实际上都协助和教唆了犯罪。
When asked if he believed "in criminal penalties for those who facilitated this invasion of the English Isles", he replied: Totally, totally. The role of the NGOs, the role of those that are sponsored by taxpayers' money, because they're nice, they're good, they're kind. They have actually aided and abetted criminality in absolutely every way.
这些人[是]受蒙蔽的人——受蒙蔽的、极左的社会主义马克思主义者,他们不相信国家,不相信边界,不相信身份,执意要摧毁存在的一切。
These are people [who are] are deluded – deluded, hard-left socialist Marxists, who don't believe in countries, don't believe in borders, don't believe in identities, are intent on destroying everything that exists.
慈善委员会负责人预计将警告切勿对针对工作人员的暴力行为“习以为常”。
The Charity Commission head is expected to warn against a "normalisation of violence" against workers.
