I don't know what goes on in this guy's head but I am resolved to stop watching TV or listening to the radio anytime he comes on (with more diligence than before).
So, if someone is wealthy, we shouldn't care if their home - possessions and memories - are destroyed in a flood they have no control over?
Newsflash, all those people in Bowness flooded out aren't poor and on welfare. A friend of mine spent a day working at a house in Bowness with an indoor pool and called the house opulent. Doesn't mean they weren't distraught or sad to lose so much of their lives.
Mother Nature doesn't care if you're poor or a billionaire in these situations.
We're all human beings and should have some humanity.
