Staff and volunteers at Bembridge RNLI have been left ‘shocked and disgusted’ after discovering a pile of human poo deposited on the lifeboat pier.
The foul discovery was made by Coxswain Guy Willing when he arrived at the offshore boathouse this morning (Thursday).
At some point overnight, an unknown individual unbolted a gate and walked 100 yards up the pier before defecating on the walkway.
The public toilets at the dry end of the pier – which the mystery defecator had to walk past – were unlocked and available for use last night, it has been confirmed.
John Keyworth, Lifeboat Operations Manager at Bembridge, has said:
“I dread to think what issues this would have caused if we had been called out overnight in the dark and the crew were making their way to the boat along the pier.
“I am amazed that even one individual can think this is right”.
Any local businesses who can help support Bembridge RNLI with installing CCTV cameras in the area are asked to make contact.
Totally shows what moral compass we are living with in today’s society, absolutely disgusting where are their conscience? Obviously have none at all! Let’s hope they or their family will never need these services!
What dirty filthy human being….how would they feel if somebody did it on there garden path disgusting vile creature
there was a guy who was doing this a while back, next to the footbridge at Ryde Bus station – he was reported, a description given by people who spotted him doing it and as usual, the ineffective old bill did nothing. This guy was then seen doing it again, same place. If it is the same guy, it appears he gets a kick out of this. Filthy disgusting animal, that thinks taking a dump in public and getting off is apparently ok.
you know, the old bill could have collected a sample, sent if for DNA analysis, run the results through the system and if on file, gone and arrested that scumbag that did it. No they couldn’t be bothered.
That poo was by the rail bridge for days and days.
One lump or two?
Could give you a description of the young chap responsible whom was witnessed doing it ( not by me) but im not sure if its classed as being racist..apparently lives local as seen a round very often..
Scumbags
Vile, but no different to low life dog owners who don’t pick up the mess!!
disgusting animal needs locking up
Hardly the same. This cretin is doing it deliberately as an act of hate to society, a dog does such as it knows no better, and the owners may be too frail to bend, or not see what it has done, or have forgotten a bag. Sure some are ignorant, but this is ‘something else’. and to me a little sinister, as likely a disturbed mind as many of that sort have.
‘Some’ are ignorant!? Try walking around East Cowes these days
“Of that sort?” I’m far more worried about YOUR ‘sort’. You obviously have no experience of the wider world beyond your own shed. What an embarrassment pe0ple of your ‘sort’ are to the Island.
Knew them bembridge lot are dirty bastards
WTF!
Keep calm it’s only poo
I bet any money it was a woman.
How do they no that it wasn’t dog poo?
Pink toilet paper.
Some dogs are quite posh in Bembridge maybe it was a Lhasa Apso.
Make him collect a hundredweight of dog poo every day for a year.
The ethnic lad caught smearing what was ‘assumed’ dogs poo over the skate ramp in Bembridge would not mind, as must be weird in the head.
Needs to be put in seven acres, or, preferably on a boat back to homeland.
