Likewise, as of now 0400 utc , the UK has raised over £60m from private individuals and another £50m is from the government. The total raised (non government) is now going up at £1m per hour and in addition the UK has mobilised the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, and the Army in what is going to be the largest deployment of this kind on record.
It's a pity that the Iraqi people still need so much help with their problems. The French? In the UK most of us would rather just forget them.
Some Humour:
How many divisions of men in the French army does it take to defend Paris?
Nobody knows. It's never been done.
