makes my PISS FUCKING BOIL AND RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were LUCKY - water only got under the house, but it fucked the electrics for 4 days and our floor has warped.

My mates, mate was the guy who died in the floods in Hessle / Hull.

SO YOU CAN FUCK OFF with your jokes!!!!

I feel for everyone who wasnt as lucky as i was!

houses, shools etc ruined - some schools will not be re-opened until next year.

People lost treasured, personal belongings.

fucking funny as fuck that isnt it?



Lets hope the badly affected areas get the help they need.

Hull has been forgotten because of Doncaster / Sheffield, but i dont blame the people, i blame the media!!

I could go on but whats the point? some funny fucker will only crack another joke..

Ok, so the UK's helped with aid in certain 3rd world countries, too right we should as were one of the richest countries in the world BUT in which way can any of the 3rd world countries help us?

It's not like they've got much themselves

I agree aid & help should be getting to the places hit in the UK a lot quicker but I'm sure the people involved in helping are trying their best & aren't just sitting around having afternoon tea.

My point AJ , has nothing to do with other countries offering to help us ,,im asking why there has been nothing set up within britain where people can donate money / clothes / houshold equipment etc to help these people

Because if it hasnt effected them then there not bothered yet we are the first to offer Aid to others , not saying that isnt a good thing ,,just cant understand why nothing has been sorted for our own

well im all for helping people but reality is theres companys like tescos/natwest ect that ALL earn fortunes who should be helping first imo

when rich corperations dont give a shite,,,, makes it hard for the rest of em

besides,,,, i live in a first floor flat,,,,,, half way up one of the steepests hills in north london,,,,, when i get flooded id be fucking dead anyway

charitys aint as good as you think either

look at the wage the director of oxfam gets paid !!!

you would be better off IMO offering hard work and graft as aid IMO

i meant as a country in general.

Britain is not popular in terms of being helped.

im sure people here do care, but not enough to do anything about it.

i didnt bother going to my own house - i went and helped a family member and his neighbour instead.

driving home, i saw someone whos car had broken down, i offered them a lift home, they said they had someone coming for them, else i would've taken them home.

Read this... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6276150.stm So much for the poor old North being ignored.


Look as can see in my previous post im sympathetic, but i think crying out you dont care about the Northerners at the first opportunity never helps...

Help is in place but it can never happen the day after it also takes time...

I have no real issue with immigration IF the people are here legitimately and are going to work or contribute positively to society.

Even Prince Charles has been around the badly hit areas in Doncaster and shown support for people who have been affected.
Places round here which have flooded have never flooded before pal so get ya fact right...its not hard to feel for the poor sods who have lost everything at all

About people NOT having insurance in flood prone areas....areas have flooded here that have never flooded before...so why should people have insurance against it? And it doesnt matter wether or not they had it its still upsetting to see them lose everything..

I get so wound up about England, and all the aid we give to other countries when we still have people in England (Flood victims etc) who don't get any help at all.

I think it's time we started concentrating on the UK as opposed to other countries.

And I can't understand how we continue to take so many immigrants (An no I'm not racist....I'm a realist), house them, give them unemployment benifits etc, when there are young people here who are left on the waiting list for years for housing, because they will never be able to afford to buy a house, because of the spiraling house prices. My nephew is now 24....damned hard working lad, want's to move out of his parents house to be independant, and also realizes that his parents find it hard now that he's in his twenties. He can't get a mortgate cos he does not earn enough, so applied for a council house as soon as he was old enough. Meanwhile he has to sit back and wait on a never ending waiting list.....and watch imigrants come to this country and be housed immediately.

England and it's in house politics really suck sometimes.

Sorry for my Rant, but the English govenrnment really needs to sit down and think about what it's been doing lately and where all the money is being spent.
