The people we represent are always at the mercy of accidental happenings; they are the flotsam and jetsam of life.
They are obsessed by what one might call the superficialities, or the flotsam and jetsam, of politics.
Is it not the case that in every branch of agriculture there is a certain amount of flotsam and jetsam to be found?
They become community flotsam and eke out a miserable existence, roaming the streets.
Under the present system it may be-the lot of any employed person shortly to be thrown up with the flotsam and jetsam of humanity.
If people are in any doubt that they might have been in contact with any of the flotsam or seaweed, their local doctor would be the first person to contact.
The man not only lost his self-respect, he felt that he was no more than flotsam and jetsam, and a bally nuisance to the missus as well.
One can have recovery and the recession disappearing and our unskilled people can be left like flotsam on the seashore unless we do something about it.
