I see floods all over the news.

I told you it was a soggy little island.

Yes, and especially so just now, rain almost every day for 2 months. The tail end of three hurricanes. I guess somewhere like America is getting blown to bits.

Why should sensible people like me who didn't buy a house
in a flood plain have to foot the bill for those that did?

Because that's the way it works.

That doesn't answer "why".

The government is paying millions to "victims" of flood.

They pay millions to those like you who were too stupid
to work out what qualifications would get you a job too.

Not getting a job is the government's fault, buying a house in the wrong place is entirely your own fault. Anyway, have they never heard of house insurance?
