Weeks back when it was the north that was flooded so badly I read stories of how skip bin companies started charging extortionate rates for the hire of skip bins to remove the masses of rubbish, written of furniture and belongings of the the victims of the floods. These skip bin companies were local businesses owned by northerners and not by some posh Buckingmashire businessman.
The fact is that it is just human nature. The majority of those people affected by firstly the floods in the North/Midlands and currently the floods in the South, work together to help each other out. Of course there is a very small minority of people who commit acts of looting, theft, or just try to cash in on the suffering of the victims through greed. 
The bottom line is this. Neither the North nor the South of this country have the moral highground, no pun intended. |
i agree but we in the north dont sit in our overpriced 50 year mortgaged homes and slag off other regions because of the accent or weather (irony) and its quite amazing how much more is being done because the home countys have been hit virtually nothing was done for hull !
