So, we send troops to help out the residents of Cumbria, as we have before in Humberside, York, Devon, Somerset, Thames flood plain, etc, etc.
Money comes from the various budgets from 'our' tax; have we heard anything about the UK being given money from other countries as part of a rescue package?? No. We, as the UK, as quick to send money abroad to help areas under flood, suffering from earthquakes, etc, but when was the last time we received funding in return.
Maybe Mr Cameron should take this up with the EU; we'll pay into the fund as long as we get funding back and use this as an example.........
