The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

To be fair though people should be insured for their own possessions. The governments only role should be to help speed up the process of returning to normality, and looking after those in extreme cases.

Agreed, hope us tax  payers don't "bail out" those who couldn't be bothered to take out home insurance.

We'll just pay higher insurance premiums to pay for those who do claim on their insurance.  We lose either way.

The most important thing is making sure that everybody has a habitable home. How it is paid for is a secondary consideration. Moaning about insurance premiums or tax while people are still removing raw sewage from their kitchens seems a little callous to me...

callous maybe... but i pay bloody exorbitant insurance premiums for my home and contents insurance ... so i ..like others object to bailing out those that cant be bothered to take out insurance ... Whats the point of paying insurance if the govt are going to bail out those that cant be bothered to pay it ... there was a single parent family on Telly moaning they couldn't afford the premiums and as a result had lost everything.... Including her 42" Flat screen Sony TV ... Nice to see that she hadn't lost her smokes though

So what would you do?

Leave a mother and child on the street?

You have to deal with situation at hand. I'm sure she now regrets not paying the insurance. I don't give a toss if it costs you, me or anyone else a few quid in premiums or tax, these people need looking after. I'm not suggesting that you buy her a new telly, just that she needs a clean, dry place to live.

No take the child into care.

Throw the mother on the street.

Don't you just love comments from people who have either no feelings or no idea what they are talking about.

Is it not classed as a "work of god" and not covered by insurance unless specifically stated "flood damage"?
As for paying tax payers money out it wouldn't bother me one bit, charity begins at home, now all the overseas aid we pay each year is another mater.........
