socks 32,253 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 If as Cameron promises money is no object to combat the floods then why not spend a few fukcing thousand and issue the troops with wellies ... In every clip I see on the news of the troops stacking sand bags and helping people they are wearing normal combat boots ... So they must be working 8,10,12 hours a day with soaking wet feet ........... 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxfan 479 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 When politicians make these type of statements, I always imagine them to be addressing other members of the club. So in this instance Cameron would be re-assuring the soon to be hammered insurance companies (banks) that they will be reimbursed handsomely from the public purse. The lads can go barefoot for all he cares. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Should get all the asylum seekers out of the centers filling sand bags. And laying them Just stop using sandbags all together, get them to lay down instead. Hopefully drown a few, thin them out, save ourselves a few quid in the process.
