The papers seem to be full of it this morning, as is FB but why is it always foreign aid that called upon?
Why not the Arts, or conservation or sport funding or the vastly bigger spending areas of health, education and defence. Why not divert all lottery funding there for a few months?
Is it even necessary? Whilst the situation must be truly awful for those affected, the financial losses will be mostly covered by insurance and or paid for by local councils (which the govt emergency fund will have to support). Those who aren't insured will be cared for in one way or another by the LA. Obviously the circumstances won't be great but a lot better than those in need of the foreign aid.
It just seems to me an excuse for generally unpleasant people to be unpleasant in a good cause and a selfish call for people to be helped in the only way they can think of that doesn't affect "us"

Why is it automatically foreign aid that needs to be diverted to the flooded areas?
