Elderly couple refuse to be rescued.

A question

In some other European countries, search and rescue authorities receive public funding + other subsidies, those funds would be reduced if a reduction in yearly expenses would occur, hence SAR services sometimes launch their lifeboats even when there is not any need--> one more mission, a bit more expenses to add up to be nearer to the forecasted yearly budget and ensure following year funding..

could it be the case in the uk as well ?
 
Ooh, I'd loved to have met them. I think the police interviewed them after they got back, though what for I don't know. They have done absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever. Sounds like the same cops who arrested an 82 year old man in Brighton on a terrorist charge for having the gall to object to a whole lot of Iraqi spin from Jack Straw.
