You'll excuse anything. Why not just admit we should have done things better.

No just seems sensible,and you would have dig at the government for anything,even if you know nothing about it.

Believe the French troops were normally stationed on the island anyway as the islands are treated as being more a part of France than the British islands which have far more independence and as such do not have British troops stationed there.
Having said all that I tend to agree that HMG could have been better prepared and despatched the first aid earlier.

The left will take every opportunity to criticise the UK and its government on any pretext whatsoever - the enemy within.

Well if they are stationed there,they are there first.
We had a plane in the air the day after,with aid and royal engineer's.

shelter box, the charity, had stuff already in the Caribbean to distribute before the hurricane hit. Good management.

Seconded.

Not all of them but for a section of them nowadays, most definitely.....most of them more misguided than malicious.

Yes, I agree that most of them are just dumb, I'll change it to 'the idiots within'.
