The Queen has sent a message of support to those affected by the devastating floods. She said her thoughts were with those who lost loved ones in the severe weather conditions. In a message delivered to 11 Lord Lieutenants, she said: "I have been shocked by the news and pictures of the devastation caused by the severe flooding across the country. My thoughts are with those who have lost family or friends, whose homes or livelihoods have been damaged, and all those who have been displaced by these events. May I also express my admiration for the emergency services, the local authorities and volunteers working tirelessly to help those affected. To everyone concerned with the relief efforts I send my heartfelt thanks."
Well I don't want to piss on anybody's chips, those living in South Yorkshire are probably wet enough already, but this sort of thing is so typically British or rather so typical of the ruling classes. She's got how many houses? Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Windsor, Sandringham, that place her Mum owned at the tip of Scotland. Why not make some space available and show how much she really does care. This isn't 1941 and the public are supposed to be grateful that King George and the Queen Mum haven't buggered off to the country so they can 'hold their heads high and look the east end in the eye,' show some real charity.
By the way, 11 Lord Lieutenants - that's not in the Twelve Days of Christmas surely?
