Yobs risk flood victims' lives


Little helpers ... a group of children fill a bottle from a bowser in Longlevens, Gloucs, after the flooding left local tap water contaminated

Sun Headline; Says: "Furious flood victims last night slammed yobs who ruined their emergency water supply. Gangs of youngsters urinated in a desperately-needed water bowser and tipped bleach into another.They also emptied one of the mobile tankers of its precious water within 15 minutes of its arrival in Cheltenham, Gloucs — then stood by laughing. Furious locals, among the hundreds of thousands of people left without mains water, called in police community support officers to guard other bowsers on the town’s tough Hester’s Way estate.


One told The Sun: “It’s unbelievable that they think it’s funny to put people’s lives in danger.
Everybody in Cheltenham is without water and desperate for any help they can get. For a gang of youngsters to think it’s some kind of big joke is just plain sick."


Soon there will be cries for 'something must be done?' The problem is clear to see ... stage 2 the reaction ... then stage 3 the 'need' for Martial law? Surely not?
