Stepping away from my usual topics for a while…
I was watching the news this evening and there’s been more coverage of the Yorkshire floods, which after a week don’t seem to be residing and have left thousands homeless along with several dead. All in all, pretty serious stuff.
The point that occurred was about disaster relief funds - every so often we’re asked to put our hands in our pockets to help those less fortunate - earthquakes in Pakistan, tsunamis in Indonesia and (dare I say it?) hurricanes in the USA have all attracted pleas for our money. There’s been constant mention of the costs of repair, rehousing &c along with how many of these unfortunates don’t have insurance yet not a single mention of a relief fund has been made. I’ve found this one, but I wonder what the people of Hull think of that?
So much for charity beginning at home!
On this day..
