It’s not a separate payment into a separate fund, the Disaster Fund comes from a central allocation. The problem is that many Remainers appear to be blind to any problems with the EU, even accusing Brexit supporters of making up stories as our ‘visitor’ alleged. For me, I’d happily remain in a Common Market - which is what was voted for in 1975 (I worked in an election station - I was 17 so couldn’t vote).
Let's get out of this ****ty EU, take back control, and look forward to the fishing wars with France and Spain!! Time we sunk a few ships, be good to stick it to Spain with Gibraltar too!!!........
The flooding up in North Yorkshire is really bad, the videos and pictures I have looked at, with water up to the ground floor ceilings is devastating, many are on their 3rd flood in a few years, the issues for property ownership are tragic, because insurance companies are no longer covering the damage, so not only are they having to foot the bill themselves, but they are trapped in this repetitive cycle, with property values shot, and unable to sell, waiting for the next flood damage, whatever local authorities do, they must start to seriously begin engineering plans to alleviate the issues.........
It might help a little if the corrupt local planning officers weren't so quick to consent to planning applications submitted by developers to build on known flood plains , Birchgrove a case in point . There's plenty of brown field sites still available https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/insight/hell-and-high-water-34752
Been off site a bit the last month or so, wife has been having complications with CLL, and coming out of remission from her chemo 5 years ago, been living in Singleton hospital for the most part, glad they have ward 12 now open after the fire, getting some light at the end of the tunnel with new treatment non toxic chemo this time around, at last the cancer technologies are starting to come online, great nursing staff........
Sorry to hear that Phil, hope shes well on the way to a full recovery , best wishes to her and your family
Thanks Matt, she is responding well to the new bio drug Ibrutinib, though we will be taking extremely measures to protect her, should this Corona virus becomes widespread......
Thanks! I did back 5 years ago, it took me months to understand all the issues with Leukaemia, researching through all the medical trials and papers, meetings with different charities and then complicated discussions with consultants, some very good, some obstructive, but my breakthrough came when after a heavy discussion with specialist in Southampton hospital who put me in touch with Professor ***on at Cardiff university hospital, the guy was nothing short of brilliant, we got the respect from then on, and have had marvelous treatment to date. The technologies now coming through are excellent, and bring much hope and relief, this time round not so much an issue as I fully understand the complicated disease.......
Spain will do **** all, they will be wanting their siestas all the time, and I should know I work with them all the time.
All the best to you and your wife Phil, I know what you mean spending in cemo treatments, my wife had months off it. Thankfully she’s now fully recovered.
