Just seen John Redwood on SKY news not being a complete twat for a change.

Basically he was saying that whether ACC is real or not, nothing is going to be done about it on anywhere near the required scale so we might as well give up and try to deal with the consequences instead.

Makes a lot of sense.

Well, bits of Wales are starting to plan ahead anyway. On this coast they seem to consider that the odds of going under water are indeed a fact.

The NFU are making some good points regarding the plans to just accept that nature will take it's own course and to let it do so. They are arguing that the UK's and I guess it applies to any country really, will have to start accepting that their domestic food security will be put in danger. They claim that over a third of our most productive farmland is at or bellow sea level and losing that will put our need for imported food to the forefront of any future discussions. I said it the other day, I'll say it again, of the thousands of homes flood damaged this year only about 60 or so were in Somerset.

British floods...
A sprinkling of climate change, a pinch of global warning....viola
A great excuse for our politicians, and enviromental agencies with their experts, to
try and squeam out of 30years of negligence and forthright incompetence, on
Finances and preperations required on flood defenses.
Then..to compound the situation...
Even now in the aftermath, there is no show of intent or organisation of how to deal
with the immediate future.No forces back- up in place, no hint of using officially the various Voluntary rescue and logistic organisations.where are the convoys of lorries to help farmers and their life stock, and designation of temporary land for them to recover.
Where is the organisation of public buildings for citizen safety, Where is the policing to prevent looting that locals say they fear.
Only the people on the ground are showing imagination and nous.
Its though gov.agencies and politicians are Frozen in a panic stupor, more interested
In rhetoric than action.

Before some one jumps in with excuses, we are a bloody island surrounded by water,
with river channel tides, and regained land on flood plains, what tw#ts went to university, to forget that inconvenience, and against all advice agreed on housing planning permission.

My god these are issues one learnt at school, way back then.!!!
I believe the old English words 'twerps' was created for such 'buffoons' in such situations, are more appropiate than any modern explanative.

I bet the poor victims dont even get any digestive biscuits and a cup of cocoa.

Sadly, I'm beginning to agree with you, Agy.

Hand on heart I've never reported anyone nor ever been close.
Why not take it all on the chin just like the rest of us ?

No point dishing it out, if you can't take it, eh.

Just wanted to highlight your valid contributions to the thread... You know, so that the forums quality controller can asses them. Now, shall we get back to the topic?

Childish brat aside...... Saw this site last night and wanted to post it but the children were still bickering.

Got some really interesting information on and explains a lot of it in a Snopes style

Really? I've proved that wrong by trying to get back on topic and you may want to go back and look at where it all started Jo.
