Even the Burmese with their government got more help than this. It's crazy. The world's media has done an awesome character assassination of the country imo.

Terrible situation over there.

Was watching it on telly today in a pub in London as I was wasting time before my train.  It horrific how people across the world live in complete luxury (and I'm talking about 99% of the people in the UK), whilst others struggle to survive.

It did annoy me though that they had some religious 'cleric' on (don't know what his official title was), who said that God would look after those who needed his help.  What an arrogant and ugly attitude when thousands of innocent people are dying in his country whilst he enjoys luxuries they could only dream of.  He's obviously one of God's chosen.

Also, at the same time there was a ticker on the bottom of the screen showing that one of the Pakistan cricketers had scored 92 runs at the Oval...

Apparently other Islamic countries have been really slow at helping too. Saudi Arabia finally coughed today after some considerable pressure about lack of help..........

Unsurprising. Except Israel they all agree on nothing at all.

I think that's a red-herring.  Most countries are pretty slow at giving aid to any country.  It's one thing the UK is very much at the forefront of.  It's one thing we should be proud of.

I only say that because they normally stick together and help each other out, you would expect the wealthy ones to cough up a bit........

Ill be honest, i havent watched 1 second of coverage of it, and aint going too.

I have other issues more pressing in my life right now, ie booking up for my trip's to Barca in October, and Poland in November, also going to the Peak District in 2 weeks.

These are my plans for my money.

If other want to help Pakistan Big up to you, i dont see why we all need too. its a choice and if other people/countries choose not too thats up to them.
