Title: on my soap box Post by: trikerpete on December 07, 2013, 08:52:44 PM its not often i get wound up but......has anyone heard if there is a "disaster fund" for the unfortunate people who sadly lost their homes & possesions on the eastcoast of uk in the past couple of days?
it make me mad that as soon as there are problems in other parts of the world we are asked to dig into our pockets to send money/food/clothes to these far flung places!!! well all i can say is, im sorry for your misfortune but f**k off, i think the people in our own country should come first. thats my bit said >:( Title: Re: on my soap box Post by: BikerGran on December 07, 2013, 09:09:36 PM I agree - can't find anything on the net but maybe it;s a bit soon?
