Default UK Flooding

This is nothing against people currently suffering from flooding around the Midlands?Oxford area but isn't it ironic that now floodings heading south or nearer London that all the politicians are brown nosing to the media etc...poor cunts were left fending for themselves in Yorkshire for a week before Gordon Brown got off his arse

Hope things improve fast if your caught in it

It wont get taken REALLY seriously until westminster floods!

But yes I agree with your point, it was the moment the word "thames" got mentioned I think

I just hope all the people caught up in it are ok, and get the aid needed..

agreed though that nows its in the south, every reporter and their dog etc are falling over themselves to give coverage etc...

The thing is though, this country is very much focussed on cost.

When half of the north was lost under 4 foot of water, it wasnt as big a story in terms of the cost of the houses that had been lost as when 2 3 bed semis in oxfordshire got flooded

It surprised me too...

and it raining here again.... glad I got a 4x4 for two reasons!

1) more rain = more flooods

2)more polution = golbal warming means less water

Channel4 news just now made scabby old Gloucester look great

Had the helicopters rescuing all the people, and the area it said was flooded i knew had no houses, just a massive gypsy caravan park

It comes into land, and everyones called smith or johnson, all look the same, strangely tanned, and have 200 kids with odd shoes and dirty faces
