Trade union donations: 1000s of workers pooling small contributions to buy themselves a voice.
Reform's ยฃ72m: 2 billionaires giving ยฃ36 MILLION each.
One is collective representation.
The other's overseas criminal wealth buying an election.
They're not remotely the same thing

The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the โ_white, angry old manโs_โ advice to go back where they came from.*

Since it's inception the RNLI have lost a minimum of 438 crew attempting to saving lives at sea. More depending on how you define that.
Every single time a volunteer answers that call they show more courage than any of the armchair warriors shouting at their keyboards.

With the heroes of the @RNLI under attack again, Iโm reminded of this passage from Bill Bryson.
ALT I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

Channel 4โs allegations over Reform UK foreign donations get the Father Ted treatment: Nigel Farage faces the Bishop, James Orr and Dan Jukes perform financial miracles, Zia Yusuf spills the tea, and Lee Anderson launches a 30p milk-float getaway. All above board.
