Government should be recalled
 

http://news.sky.com/story/1187037/ch...-for-thousands

With thousands of people being without power, hit by floods and some will not be back to normal by the weekend.

Why hasn't Government been recalled to help with aid to the stricken people.

This government has been quick enough to come to the quick aid for other countries, and yet this government remain quiet on its own people and stayed on holiday.

I don't as each can claim £3000 IIRC

IIRC the government send aid to other countries when the lives of people are at direct risk.

This current power outage although serious has not claimed any lives that I'm aware of.

Also this country has infrastructure in place to deal with these emergencies with minimal loss of life

Re: Government should be recalled
 

What would recalling them actually achieve?

Nothing apart from allowing Arthur to moan about the government using tax money while people are flooded out of their homes

Spoil their Christmas like all those people effected, we're all in this together after all!

Re: Government should be recalled
 

Yes, they may be without power, but about if any lives are lost due to flooding, and to my knowledge, if you look at the map of the UK, most of it was red, the last time l looked.

At Government officials could call out the Army to help in these situations.

Do you not think the emergency services are doing a good enough job at the moment?

Really?
You could always jump on your bike and go offer assistance Arthur!

Obviously not, what I think Arthur means is that the recalled parliament can go to stricken areas and muck in....

In all seriousness Arthur I think you should have a look at this.

As you clearly are under the impression you can do better - so why not put your money where your mouth is and do it! :tu:

I think that the government can put more resources into the are. The emergency services are doing a fantastic job - BUT, the government could put more resouces into the effort.

I am not having a dig, but so far we have NOT heard from any leading MP make a comment on it.

But why if the emergency services are doing a good enough job?

Local councils will know what is required in their area.
