A week later its not even in the London-centric news. And the troops are like "COBRA" - a simple way, a sound-bite even to make as though the Govt. are really on the case.
The military had a short term visual, very little practical help affect but at some risk to themselves - I to noticed they were trudging around in filthy water with totally inappropriate or non existent PPE or training. Risk of illness and disease must be significantly higher for them especially if they are in area for long period. The PBI's lot in life.
And now its all forgotten, really.
But then again I don't rate this Government one single IOTA anyway. Not to tackle serious issues. From handling floods or planning for flooding, to Heathrow airport expansion, to limiting immigration, to involvement in foreign wars they just keep on ******* it up.
