FASTER MIKE!!

well after the weekend we had here in carlisle with the floods and winds we're getting a visit of prince charles. after seeing the worst hit areas of the city its unbeleivable and yet theres no sign of good old tony whos too busy bickering on with fellow party members. we've had a visit off the minister for floods but thats about it and he dodged the questions, no sign of the army to help thing out either and there are parts of the region that still don't have any power

Not that I like the bloke that much, but he can't be everywhere - and I guess thats why he has cabinet ministers...

its been windy so you want the PM to come and see you??????

we had rain here yesterday....maybe Elton John to do a benifit gig?

FASTER MIKE!!

have a look at these

hhhhhhhmmmm very thought full of you tiggs

paulr

Its a bit windy here,i guess thats Blairs fault too.

Tiggs

shocking..what should he do? come down with some wadders?

cant see what the point of a visit would be?

anc-sti

Wadders?? What are they ............sorry.

pslewis

You expect him to come and wade through water? If he did you would say he was doing it for publicity and he should be at his desk working

He can't win with clowns like you so its a waste of time posting!

Agreed im afraid, he can't win. And once again, I dont like the blok but I do have a fair bit of respect for him. It was like the tsunami thing, he got a **** load of flak for not cutting his holiday short which was beyond me. I fail to see what benefit it would have made other than looking like a publicity stunt. To handle it via foreign affairs minister and him follow up with a statement after the holiday was much more tactful...

**** me I agree with Pete !

Fraid i must back Faster Mike up as im in the middle of Carlisles flood area and i have just scrapped quarter of a million quids worth of furniture and 15 years of my life '''##


Yes it will get replaced and i will be back on my feet in a few weeks but a Visit by Tony is a morale booster to the people of carlisle .

Eric Matlew our MP visited me and other retailers today and gave us hope and inspiration for the future that is the purpose of a visit.

Carlisle has never had floods like since 1820 and i hope i never see them again in my lifetime and to witness the loss of homes and damage to over 8000 homes is quite a tear jerker.

Don't worry, all you people of Carlisle, all those in York (who get flooded almost every year), and those in Boscastle and other flooded areas.

Tone's governemnet will see that flooding is NOT allowed to happen.................at least not in London, with plans to build a £20 BILLION barrier across the Thames mouth.

Can't have Londoners inconvenienced, can we?

Alcazar

anc-sti

That proposed barrier is going to cause serious problems for the folks outside it.

No, you fool. I expect to see him walk upon it.

Anything less would be a disappointment after all we've come to expect.

pslewis

I am glad, that at last, you see Tony as the best leader we have ever had .... sadly, only Jesus has ever walked upon water (but I am sure god is with Tony!) - thats why he will win easily!

Pete

Dark Blue Mark

Well you've had Charlie visit you today, so that should make you feel a bit better?!

MB

FASTER MIKE!!

cheers john hope your up and running again soon
i think my point has been missed here, what i was getting at is mr blair has made no mention of what happened here at least i have'nt seen anything. as lordharding said a little support for the people that have lost everthing. yes insurance will pay them out but what about personal belongings that are iraplaceable?

Leslie

Faster Mike,

Do you honestly think that he has any more interest in your plight than he has had for the last 7 1/2 years for the electorate of this country?

He pays lip service to it when he feels he needs to get some votes again as we will see later on, but all the great promises never actually happen. If they get caught out they will have the excuses lined up of course but no one believes any more anyway.

Les

I understand what you mean mike!
Tsunami= We send lots of tax payers money that could be used elsewhere for our country, then people part with what's left of their wages and make donations yet we cant even help our own when we get hit by floods!!!
It's a disgrace!

FASTER MIKE!!

thank you! my point exactly, though everyone in the town seems to be helping one and other out, which has been good to see. me personally i have'nt been affected by the flooding, but know of people that have, there whole lives belongings in a carrier bag

mike

filfy

Its good to hear that people are helping each other out in such a disaster.
No large sums of financial help!
No army helping!
No tv donation appeals from celebrities!
No 3 minute silence!
and to top it off the tv news footage was shown for all of 5 minutes AFTER the main headline showing Tsunami for about 15minutes!!

Our government are mugs!

United we stand!
