the other accusation that the government only responded to "tory belt south east"....

is bollocks as well. We train Herefordshire/Worcestershire Emergency Response in their boat handling and diving, so got to know a few of them.....they are the first in (often seen on the news in their red RIBs and dry suits, lifting people/dogs etc into their RIB and driving off to safety) - - most of the centre of worcester and gloucester which gets hit first by the floods are often labour strongholds, poorer communities........never does one of my mates ask "who do you vote for?" when saving these people and animals.......!!!!
