Firstly his visit was scheduled to take place before this flood ever happened. He was visiting the area to discuss the flooding that occurred last time. So it was not a PR stunt for the media. Only if you want it to be.
Secondly, his comment 'A jolly good disaster' in this case means 'large', 'huge', 'immense'. It is obvious it does not mean 'good fun', 'good sport', 'happy days'. It is ridiculous to think he is 'happy' about the living conditions some poor b-----s are coping with in Somerset, or indeed anywhere else in the UK. Only if you want it to.
As for who has done this and that and bringing party politics into this, I find that annoying and I will remind those who believe that the local MP's who are Conservative and Lib Dems have done nothing then you are wrong. The one person who is leaving a nasty taste in the mouth is Labours Lord Smith of Finsbury, Cambridge/Harvard. He is the Chairman of the Environment Agency, (2008) he hasn't even visited the area AT ALL!!!
As has been said Prince Charles will be damned if he does and damned if doesn't.
I was born on 'The Moors' just outside of Glastonbury. It is amazing how so many people become 'experts' and chuck their two penneth into the mix but they don't know how the Levels/Moors work.
Price Charles is probably a more humble a person than some who I have heard and good on him for fulfilling his scheduled visit. Any funds donated are welcome and will possibly lead to more people getting involved. Do you see that as a bad thing? Do you see that as an egotistical thing he has done?, only if you want it to.
