Are Some People Completely Nuts

Why would you still fly into a fire bomb, and take your kids, (Greece) Do we have a stand off here? The holiday companies wont cancel, because that means a loss to them, and the customer wont cancel for the same reason, but prepeared to risk there lives. The goverment wont advise not to travel, because they are as always gutless. Lets just wait until a few die before we see any sense. Rant over.

The whole of Greece isn't burning so far as I can see. Really depends which part you are going to.

A relative of mine is flying to Zante this morning. I'm just taking them tert thairport.

The BBC has over hyped these hill fires for its own agenda. It blamed climate change. Actually arson. Once again instilling fear on top of an unfortunate yet not totally rare occurrence. The world is not burning, the BBC IS VERYMUCH BIASED.

The world isn't burning David Small?
Ok,, cool..

[DTCwordfan]

it's one way to get tanned....

[mushroom25]

bit of a catch 22. if the government won't advise against travel, the insurance companies won't cover the cost of a cancellation.

It's not just the BBC though - all the news outlets are reporting the same thing.
The problem isn't just the fires, though. Hundreds of rooms of holiday accommodation are suddenly not available and won't be for weeks.

I,m really asking, what on earth are people thinking ( their state of mind) when they still decide to fly into a danger zone?

[dave50]

Not all of the island is on fire as the bbc is trying to imply. Most of it is not affected so holidaying in these areas is not a problem.

[nicebloke1]

This is not about the BBC. People have been getting off planes and taken straight to evacuation centers. What is wrong with these peoples heads????

[murraymints]

I agree.. must be bonkers to even think about it !

[nicebloke1]

I get that people stand to lose hundreds of pounds, and lose the holiday they've been looking forward to, but really, your money or your life? AND TAKING YOUR KIDS??8

[murraymints]

a non-starter for me.. or anywhere over there that is reporting unbearable temperatures !

david is spot on. More scaremongering and brainwashing.

[1ozzy]

Define unbearable temperature Minty, possibly 20c for you?

[murraymints]

certainly the 30+ that is being reported !

[youngmafbog]

Well it's down to the old 'crying wolf' isnt it.

The BBC, and others, are so obsessed with pushing 'climate change' that they exaggerate and blame everything on it. Add to that the usual tabloids (complete with 'selective' phots) going well OTT and people start to switch off and ignore it.

[barry1010]

I fail to see what benefit the BBC gets from pushing climate change. They get criticism from the climate change campaigners for jetting their reporters and staff around the world and within the UK.

[bobbinwales]

Are those blaming the BB C saying people dont believe the bbc fire stories and pictures ( even tho sky abd newspapers etc are reporting them too).

I see a report this morning that Italy have offered landing slots at their airport near the capital proving that all Rhodes lead to Rome.
