It's a bit rich David Cameron condemning parents who smoke with their children in the car.

At least those parents remembered to put their kids in the car.

Eric Pickles (fat Tory bastard) visited south England to flood affected places.

Flood waters rose 3cm on his arrival.

David Cameron has said that every home in the country will be protected by flood defense equipment in the future.

And when they are, he will introduce the new 'sandbag' tax.

I like the way Toffboy states money is no issue and the Dept's say it is!


================================================== =====
Vote for Dave he will give you a truck load of money. Is it a bird no, is it a plane no, its super dave to the rescue. Man of steel our dave is...

The Tory Party

It's pretty shameful that some councils are charging the needy for sandbags when the government have already stated publicly that they will reimburse all councils the cost of such an outlay/service.

I think there is a element of no trust in the government as they say one thing and go on to do the opposite.

Probably but that didn't help the woman on Sky News today who was charged £240 for 40 sandbags by her local council today.

Makes you wonder why we bother with paying council tax. I nearly forgot a lot of councils invested in the Iceland banking mess.

Jimbuna 02-13-14 02:32 PM

£6 per hessian sack :o

A business venture idea springs to mind :)

Well he did say that money is no object.
He just didn't say whose money.

Still its nice to see Dave sticking to his guns on "saving" money.
No retreat on the 250+ cancelled flood management projects. and no retreat on the next 500 redundancies in the EAs flood management team.
I do like his logic on savings, if a £1 investment only prevents £8 of damage then its bad economics to make the investment:rotfl2:

Wythenshawe and Sale East by-election: Labour win

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26184146


Easy and expected win for Labour, but the best thing about this result was toff boy pushed into 3rd place and the LibDums losing their deposit :haha:

Jimbuna 02-14-14 05:29 AM

In fairness though it was a Labour stronghold.

What is interesting is UKIP getting the disenchanted vote...heaven help us if this happens more frequently in the future.
