Default Natural disaster ,,WTF,,

Just talking to my missus and we were saying how we in england ,,mainly , Hull and south yorks are going through a very hard time regards the floods etc ,,Many people losing thousands of pounds and finding themself without and help ,,financial , or any other kind ,,yet if this had happened in another country , we brits would be sorting Aid for those effected and doing everything we could to raise money / clothes etc etc to send to help , yet nothing for our own

WTF is wrong with this country , we help everyone but ourselfs

If this had happened in london there would be Aid ASAP for all effected

I feel for those people One in 10 homes in hull are effected by the floods , and hull isnt exactly a well of area anyway

I had just spen 3k on my garden 2 weeks before the floods and apart from the decking its fooked ,,i was so gutted , yet thats just so unimportant as i was lucky it was just my garden , how do people cope with losing almost everything and trying to live in a damp smelly house for months

Imagine what its like to hear the rain in the middle of the night and wonder what you will find when you make the next morn

If there is any way i can contribute to a fund and anyone knows of one then please let me know because i would be more than happy to give a little to our own people for a change

It is a disgrace, were still helping evry other fucker but NOBODY not even our own government are doing a damn thing to help anyone.

After seeing the new earlier I feel bad for those affected by the floods, what a mess their homes are in and quite possible that they still wont have a home to live in until next year !

The only way these people will get help is if people club together (Blue Peter style) and collect together items they maybe useful to these people.

Sadly you are ssooo correct

I just wish i had the ability to start some sort of Aid system for these poor people all over our great country that need our help and need it fast

You sure nothing is coming your way? Ok its not happening quick enough but im sure something is happening. Dont forget what happening in America with New Orleans. THe richest country in the world has shafted its own there.....


Should get some help i agree..... Though a lot of people think they will have insrance to sort it out. However things do need to be sorted now to help the people out.... And lets face it even if all insrued etc look at the amount of damage, it would take ages for the pvt/commerical world to find the labour/resources to fix it all asap. So does need help for the govt to get it up and running asap again.....


Dissagree about the If it was London thing.... Think thats a bit irrational thought thats usually said in times like this.

the_orginal as I stated... I agree about not have insurance.. but even the people who have insurance is fucked. pvt companies cant pull such logistics of in short time. You wouldnt like it if your street got fucked over, you phone insurance ans say sorry mate you 1501 on our list we will get to you next year! what would you do then?

I am told by my insurance broker this week that 70% wont pay out for these floods due to a cause that excludes damage created by "Acts of God"

The chap who forgot to turn the rain off.

A mate of mine had a horse literally SIT on his car at some lights. They used that clause to get out of paying him too.

Be fair, how many REAL natural disasters do we as a country have to deal with ?

answer = not many

Foreign aid around the world gives people with VERY little at all in life, the opportunity to better themselves/ families with the MOST basic of items i.e. clean water/ clothes/ protection from rebel armies raping their children for a laugh

Like ''the original'' says..... personally I find it hard to feel sympathy for people who neglect to insure their house............. DUE TO WHATEVER REASONS and then plead poverty to the masses

If people don't have home insurance and live in a flood prone area, then its hard to feel too sorry for them.

Also, I haven't heard Gordon Brown saying too much about the floods until one of the papers ran the headline slating the government response.

Even Prince Charles has been around the badly hit areas in Doncaster and shown support for people who have been affected.

Totally agree fella that those with the sense to insure their property ge the VERY best of treatment

I know what you mean about THE religious group these days

However, two things I never discuss in public (even sitting at a computer)

1) Religion
2) Politics

Its cos its in the north. If this happened in somewhere like Pakistan or China, we'd be the 1st in there 2 help. This happens 2 us, & we do nothing, & no other countries are helping us, so why help them?

What we must remember is probs 50% cant get insurace ,,if you live in a previous flood area then most insurers wont cover for it

also , what about the effected people this time ,,do you think they will ever get insured again ??? i dont think so

Soon nobody in britain will be able to get insured against flooding

Will you then be laughing

some people cant afford house insurance..some people have to spend their money on essential things which would not leave them with money for insurance.

its not always about ya TV and shit like that. it cant be nice to have personal things wrecked by rain and dirty water.

We used 2 live in a house which was on a hill, which was on another hill which was on top of a HUGE hill. Half of Devon could have been underwater & our driveway would only be damp!
