He didn't say that at all. His comments were totally blown out of proportion.

I remember exactly what he said, because it was my posts he was replying to. Lommaren is spot on.

I remember it too. He wasn't blaming them or even insinuated it.

I mentioned the survivors potentially being relocated to somewhere hundreds of miles away, and he starts banging on about home and contents insurance. There was clearly no shred of sympathy for the people in question.

In what way did you expect people to take that?

So how does that translate him into blaming them?

The implication seems to be that if they had home and contents insurance (ignoring the fact that people in social housing are not eligible for home insurance), they wouldn't be in this situation - i.e homeless and with nowhere to go.

I see no other reason why he would mention that in relation to what I posted - and, of course, most normal people wouldn't immediately jump to that ridiculous conclusion.

God knows why you're so eager to defend him. He certainly doesn't deserve it.

I then said this:

Get a sense of perspective you moron.


And then he responded with this:

Unless you're stupid, the implication is obvious.
