As the problems and risks
mount over the flooding in England so does the blame game. The
media are giving us dire ire, anger, gratuitous insults, back stabbing and the
full range of political evasions.
There goes the old myth about
we Brit's pulling together in adversity.
Some do and some don't and it is not too difficult to predict who will
be what.
On the basis that there
must be a scientific explanation other than the debate whether it is about climate
cooling or warming or sheer cussedness there is this item from the cartoon web
site xkcd for people who like their minds bent.
If England is floating out
to sea then there is a serious worry about the direction. One way is Europe another the Bermuda
Triangle. You can't win.
The ancient Romans may
have had a way with dealing with all the pundits and politicians arguing. Their environmental solution could have been
to put them into an arena with a lot of hungry lions.
At least it would have
been entertaining.
I think the Environment Agency may cop for this one. Flood defence should have been separated from environmental protection years ago.
ReplyDeleteI choose the Bermuda Triangle every time.
