Can't see that happening after the latest - BBC News

Re: 22,000 dead - 41,000 Missing in Burma
 

Have you seen how much has been pledged in aid:

AID PLEDGES
UK $10m
UN $10m
Japan $10m
US $3m
France $3m
Australia $2.8m

Why cant the burmese government let the aid workers in. They have the experience of what to do after an event like this. They know how to get things moving etc they know what the people need. So why not let foreign aid workers in.

Clegg the dummy that leads the liberals has said aid should be dropped in by parachute.:eek: thats really intelligent:rolleyes: what usually can happen when you fly over someones airspace uninvited?:rolleyes:

Oh come on cashy you always have to make allowances for Liberals, they don't live in the real world. the thing that annoys me more than anything is that people from other countries are prepared to help, yet the Bermes Government won't let them in saying they will take it of them at the boarder and will distribute the supplies themselves, what a load of rubbish, this must be a new low in even this countries murky past:(

Re: 22,000 dead - 41,000 Missing in Burma
 

I wasn't suggesting you were in America. The Burmese state say 22,980 are dead. The UN says ESTIMATED 100,000 dead. Hope that clarifies it :)

Re: 22,000 dead - 41,000 Missing in Burma
 

Just look at the Fat Peacock in this thread and look further down the page at the faces of the ordinary Burmese people........I can't post them on here....I'm told it is wrong to do so.
In this version it states the death toll is confirmed at 23,000 and expected to rise to 100,000..............Still a disgusting state of affairs?

Oh this is just terrible, tragic news. it really choked me watchin the news.

Re: 22,000 dead - 41,000 Missing in Burma
 

The annoying thing is that Burma TV is showing everyhing as being delt with by the army saying how many blankets and the like being distributed, and that things are okay. They're not showing all the bodies floating in the water and lying on the river banks:eek:
