Disaster Fund?
 

With all this flooding around the country and the talk of no water/food in some areas i wonder why we have not heard of any disaster fund being set up?
Is it because it is in the UK and not some african country and so the bleeding hearts are not interested?
I remember we airlifted out water not so long ago to some country whose name escapes me however in my view condoms would be more appropriate.

The North Floods. Government do nothing.

The South Floods. Government pledge to pay 100% of Councils clean-up bills.

I dont think any disaster funds have been set up for when a few Africans have to spend a night in a hotel......its normally the result of millions of them being dead.

Beat me to it. Slight difference in scale I beleive.

Are the people of New Orleans doing anything to help ?

:wonder:

That's because the Northern floods actually cleaned the place up a bit :D

How do I infract somebody :wonder: :D

As per my post. What don't you understand?

Interesting isn't it:)

Suddendly the south is up to it's knees in raw sewage and it's big news:lol1:

You're a southerner to me anyhoo ;)


Born in N. Yorks = me :thumb:

No rain here yet:thumb:

Just big sharks near filey:norty:

Take the point regarding the scale so maybe a smaller disaster fund should be set up.

So you mean the poorest nations on earth should be making donations to the the forth richest country on the planet to help them get over the flood?

Perhaps we could beam images of people having to slum it in relations 4 bedroom detached pads, or hotels, straight into the single room homes and shanty towns of the average African home. That will tug at thier heart strings and show them just how lucky they are.


..

Or do you just mean that we shoudl set up a disaster fund internally?

Council cutbacks on drain clearage (in some areas non existent) building on flood plains (which GB has said will not cease) sounds like a plan;)

I take it you don't know that Darlington is North of N. Yorkshire then :brickwall :D

Bet you got an `U` in Geography. U as is Fcuking usless. :D

I am prepared to donate all of northamptons chavs to help clean up and get the place tidy - well i would do, but they already knicked a load of cars and all the pedalos from Billing Aquadrome to head up north and down south to loot the empty properties!

It's only a flippin' river bursting it's banks, some stupid woman on the radio was talking about councelling being available for people affected by it. :Whatever_

North or South, there are now a lot of people homeless with the flooding situation :(

A fund set up to help them with food and lodgings etc would not be a bad thing IMO :thumb:

Here Here, its about time we looked after our own first for a change.

Why not just leave it to the insurance companies? That's what they're there for, all these people need is a supply of drinking water for a few days.

Yes, it's inconvinient and yes it must be horrible to have your home flooded, but let's face it, people had it far worse in the war and didn't need disaster funds and counselling.

All they need is a bit of good old British spirit!

didn't see much of that over the weekend when some people started fighting in the supermarket's :mad:

That'll be the Chavish spirit! :lol1:

people gave all their cash to the ****ing madaeline fund/geldoff/bono/africa didn't they :rolleyes:
