It must be made even worse for those poor souls effected as these floods have come at a time when these folk would probably be relaxing and spending time with relatives etc.
Your comment suggests that by Cameron 'visiting' these areas he cares,do you really think this is the case...I didn't think so.
The government has cut funding and chooses to ignore advice from the EA so it's hardly surprising flooding has become a real problem.
I agree,perhaps it is time to stop putting foreign aid and expenses before the needs of these local folk.

You need to read my post again Jason.
I don't know where you got the idea that by visiting these areas shows he cares.
I said in a previous post that this is what politicians of all colours do in an attempt to make it look as though they are concerned.....I also said it is just a Public relations exercise......a media circus.
But had he not done this he would have been damned by you as being unconcerned......hence the comment damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
There is nothing to suggest that if funding had not been cut the situation would have been any better.
I agree that money set aside for foreign aid.....much of it going to despotic regimes, should be made available for improvements to be funded.
We should get some of the money we pay into the EU to cover costs of the clean up......apparently there is a fund for such things. I have not heard anything about whether an application for such funds has been submitted.....though why you would need to submit a request when there is evidence of the damage being relayed around the world.
