Funny how Pakistani posters loose perspective and jump on the anti-gov bandwagon.

There was some pretty horrific weather in Aberdeen last night

This week’s hardly seen the blazing sunshine of last week, but looking at Aberdeen much of the UK is still riding the crest of the heatwave.
Yesterday evening there were flash floods after torrential downpours that led to chaos.
A group of 30 children had to be ushered from a nursery while cars were left submerged by the flooding.
The flooding was expected to continue to cause problems this morning despite local councils trying to clear the water.
The fire service said it received more than 40 calls in just 90 minutes related to the flooding while the city’s hospital and airport were both affected.
Firefighters went to help pump water out of the basement and sub-basement of Aberdean Royal Infirmary.
Station manager Charlie Watt said: ‘We have our incident command room set up at Mounthooly and we are liaising closely with our partner agencies to help as many of the people affected as possible.’
