You have to hand it to David Cameron.

Yeah I have heard about it! The UK government have done all they can for sure. I am mainly annoyed because of those famous people, who basically arent doing anything for this disaster, when they were all over the Haiti thing.

ANd yeah, its actually coming now, just the relief effort is very slow!

There are a variety of excuses that will be used for that, lack of coverage on the news, inaccessibility, ignorance of the extent of the problem etc. And some of the publicity seeking bandwagoneers will of course be on summer holidays.

P*kistan being filtered is one of the most laughable and pathetic things I have ever seen.

It's possible to give it a standalone exact match, so anything else with those letters in that order would not be censored.

I think we should record a charity single and send any profits to the disastrous flood in the Big Brother house

There is no use sugar coating it partly the reason why aid is so slow to the country is due to the background.

Take for example the Haiti earthquake this year. Haiti is a rather small , quiet and politically stable country in the world and it had far more quicker aid delivered then the current floods.

If this was to happen in another middle easten country like Iraq would it still be any different?

Oh, piss off. Over 200,000 people died ffs, yet you have the audacity to sit there and label a commendable, large relief effort as "so OTT it's unreal"!?!?

Compared to other countries Haiti's government isnt in the news as much as countries in the middle east.

Yeah, but thats just because they hold more relevance to us, due to our battle with terrorism, or our relationship with Israel etc.
