    Cumbrian Flood Fund

    Apologies if this has appeared elsewhere recently;
    A fundraising site has been set up to benefit those individuals and families caught up in the once in a thousand years deluge ...

    Re: Cumbrian Flood Fund

    Was over there yesterday, having battled my way over to the Ferryhouse in Far Sawrey, opposite Bowness. Looked pretty bad even in the South Lakes. The people we were visiting were showing us where the water had been, their preparations just in case and how close they'd been to inundation. Very lucky folks.

    Tell you what, usually feel pretty fed up being deep in the heart of The Machine, working for an insurance company, but over the last few days seeing us in action, it's made me feel a little bit of pride in my emloyer.

    Seen some real horor stories come through. Hope none of you are too badly affected ('Cockermouth?'?) and if you are you're back on your feet soon.

    And those of you out there without insurance: get some!

    Re: Cumbrian Flood Fund

    Whilst I have every sympathy with those families who have suffered because of this, especially that of the poor policeman who died, I always have a little difficulty with this sort of fund raising. It is of course everyone's own individual right to choose what to do with their own money, but I feel that there are far more deserving charities who could save lives with that money in other poorer parts of the world rather than spend it on my neighbours here in Cumbria. I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me mind you.

    p.s. the link didn't seem to be working when I tried it last.

    C'mon RR, you can do better than let a racist bigot do your talking for you.

    More facts - In 1995 'Mr' Griffin was stating that "the BNP should prioritise denying the Holocaust to schoolchildren"

    Personally i think that anyone who can can deny the holocaust can not be trust to be factual about any thing ever again!

    Please don't post link to fascist organisations on here and claim they are facts - it's just another shade of propaganda.
