It does seem to me that the emergency services are very dim. There was no way of keeping this chap warm or supplying him with oxygen? Hard to believe.
Stupidity and lack of initiative seems to be the standard state of the average UK citizen and nowhere was this more apparent than in some of the recent flooding. If you live in a small terrace or flat or are faced with several feet of water you may be stuffed but some of these people who were faced with just a couple of feet of water could have made better provision to protect their homes than they did. Thick polythene, plywood, bituminous gutter tape. Morons.
PS Good about the NICE little piggy. Pigs are grooovy.Last edited by xoggoth; 21 August 2007, 21:51.bloggoth
