Flooding: the new terrorism

December 18, 2007

So apparently flooding is just as big a threat to the UK as terrorism.

Yes, allowing development all over flood plains (the clue is in the name) led to a huge impact on thousands of UK citizens over the summer, but extreme rainfall is really out of our hands. There is really nothing we can do to prevent widespread flooding. Aside from a mass migration to higher ground, everyone is just going to have to move their plug sockets a bit further up the wall. Clean drains would also help.

We should just be thankful this isn’t Bangladesh. I bet people over there have bigger things to worry about than insurance premiums.

Apologies

For the utter lack of content.

I’ve started a new job, which covers the whole of South East England, so have been very busy.
Also will be out of action for a few weeks more, but when i come back, i’ll have a lot to say, especially now i’m witness to the seedy underbelly of environmentalism. Or something.
