Local flooding

[supercookie123]

Those poor communities in Wales that have had their homes flooded out, why is nothing being done for them? they're being offered £500, what's that going to do? wouldn't even cover the contents of the freezer! They're expected to be insured, insurance that they can't get. It would appear fire and flood is treated differently.

In fairness, the £500 is a free gift and not a loan - it's for instant things like food etc. Also, we were incensed to see some on the news saying they simply didn't have insurance and not that they couldn't get it (some, of course). Some were saying they had to choose whether to buy insurance OR feed their kids. While smoking a fag.

I have absolute sympathy for those flooded out but some people really do have to start helping themselves as well.

I'm not a raving nationalist but you see how someone like me would be annoyed by above comments, right? Not a joke about burning houses but about speaking our own language... it's weird and irritating.

You take umbrage at a comment about the Welsh language but can joke about burning houses down? There's an old Yorkshire saying that i'll have to adapt for fear of being censured by the PC brigade - "There's nowt so strange as folk".

Well, yes, at the suggestion I am rude! I was however never involved in the burning of houses but can still take a ribbing about it as it was appalling and there's no excusing it so there's no point denying it happened. I HAVE to defend myself with the other thing as it's just untrue in my case.

And yes! Ha ha - heaven forbid you use the 'q' word!

Yeah it is pretty crap really. The government body seriously needs to get their priorities right Instead of renting all these going out of business hotels and filling them up with refugees they wanna spend it on their own people who plenty of them pay taxes to this land

Wow - that's quite a dreadful thing to say! Lots of non-Welsh people simply fail to understand that we speak Welsh all day, every day, a bit like others speak English or French.

Honestly wtf this is Wales and people should take pride in their own Language. And fyi people I'm not Welsh but N.irish. Look around you people there's many many different speaking languages in Wales so does that mean there all talking about you
