David Cameron and the floods.

Post by grytters » Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:10 am

Young man, there's no need to feel down

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.

Image

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town


Image

There's no need to be unhappy.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a

Isn't it amazing how the response to the floods only gets seriously under way when the tory heartlands are threatened? Wonder what those West Country folk think of the sudden acceleration? :roll:

if we were in the phillipines or Syria or Africa they would be getting millions to help, but no people will probably never live in their house again,it may take a year to get sorted then if more bad weather comes it'll happen again.

Put down your daily mail.

The millions in foreign aid goes to help people who don't have a house, or sanitation, or babies because their babies have died of malnutrition and disease. Its a great shame that people are being flooded out of house and home, but their issues pale in significance to those in many of the developing/war torn countries we send aid to.

Foreign Aid is one of the great developments of civilisation over the last 30 years.

polititions in papers going to the floods in their wellies just to make it look like they are doing something.

well if a guy you play pool with online said it it must be true!

Imagine if this weather was just happening because well that is what weather does. We live on an island getting battered by the elements has to be expected from time to time, we make up for it by having pretty mild and consistent conditions compared to the rest of the world most of the time.

Well our annual spend on charity at home far outweighs what we send abroad to help those not privileged enough to have been randomly born in a well developed, relatively stable country like you and I.

I can't see how anybody could be against Foreign Aid and the work that they do, especially in Africa. Relatively small amounts of money can (and does) make a world of difference to millions of people.

Problem is that when no one from Government went initially they all slatted them saying they didn't care so when they went they get slated for a PR stunt, I would imagine their time was best spent behind a desk organising things and getting real boots on the ground sorting things not waddling around in water saying Oh its bad ain't it.

Well...sign the cheques basically! They are in a bit of a lose lose scenario as you point out.

The politician is just a figurehead for a department after all. Unfortunately the "Well we took a risk based approach. We have a finite budget and we must allocate this resource to projects which are deemed to be at the highest risk, that doesn't mean that exceptional event can't occur which have these type of results." response can't seem to subdue questions like "Yeh but the trampoline in my garden is now ruined, how are you going to fix that?".

Haha, I love how this turned from a tongue-in-cheek post by grytters into a heated debate about foreign aid.

To lighten the mood again, here's a rabbit with a pancake on its head:

I never said I was against it, all I said was when something happens, were the first to raise millions,to send. I mean we sent 380 million for aid to india, they said they don't need it, not long after that india spent 680million to send a rocket to mars, so theres 380 million we could've had and saved.

How do you know we're not helping them? Did you hear all this from some guy you play online strip poker with? Because if you did, then it's most likely sensationalist bullshit.

Not quite sure what you can do when water is coming up from the water table and not the rivers, can't pump out the water table

On the subject of sending money to India, lets not kid ourselves that any of that cash is actual 'aid'.

Its a glorified bung to keep us invested with the largest emerging economy in the world.

Aye alright ta mate, yourself? You were looking at leaving stapleton and moving back to town last time we spoke, did that work out for you?

Haven't been on here much, turns out the site owner prefers to ban actual Darlo fans instead of Poolie trolls and trouble making creeps. Hence this stupid login name.

Aye moved back into town last year. I'll have a word and see if you're allowed back into the playground when I see him. Not got to many matches myself due to shifts and match postponements.
