Getting the Water Supply Flooded
has made people panic buying water.
Of course these Floods in some parts
could not be stopped.
Today New Labour do the House plans,
they will set out the big area's for massive housing projects.
It will include building on flood plains

Water has to go someone, you can have a new development with good flood defense on a Flood plane. The problem is that the river will just flood further down stream as the water is channled elsewhere. The might effect a poor village that never used to flood becuase in the past the water just flooded into low lying fields (which are now filled with Barret homes and protected against the water).
This is why the many new developments on our flood planes is causing such a problem. |

Well he has to delegate things to experts who deal with the areas.. unlike Blair who wanted to do it all himself. |

Brown is elected as an MP. The way our parilment works means that you never get to elect a Prime Minister, this is unlike the US where you elected the president.
You also don't get to choose who the cabinent memebers are so really we don't have a very democractic form of governement |

If you are offered aid from the USA...perhaps you should decline this time....
JACKSON, Miss. - The Federal Emergency Management Agency will keep selling and donating surplus disaster-relief trailers despite concerns that they may have unhealthy levels of formaldehyde, the agency said.

It's nearly impossible to attribute one single event to a general trend such as climate change. It's a bit like saying crime is on the increase and then pointing to a recent murder as an example of the trend. It is only when you look at many such events of a sustained period of time that the pattern emerges. There is some complex science and statistics behind climate change, which don't lend themselves to this kind of front page scare story.
In my opinion attributing such events to climate change is an over-reaction. However many people now attribute any such weather to climate change and people often talk about how the weather has changed since they were young. I guess it is easier for people to grasp onto tangible events like the floods to explain climate change because the statistic and science is often so confusing.

Been some reports of profiteering going on in the flood areas, £5 for a loaf of bread.
Hope the police jump on this if true, disgusting...... |

Are you saying that before Labour took over that the sewers were fine? |

Everbody knows full well New Labour has had 10 years
wasted.
New homes built under New Labour
Sewers left as water companys made millions under Neo Con Blair.
Of course you can go back before 10 years
but that is too far back now.
New Labour Neo Conservative
were told some years back about the sewers
but still the Water companys made billions. |

Of course these areas have never flooded before?
Not all if them anyway.
Strange how in some of photos shown the church is on the highest ground!
I am not saying the climate isn't changing but this and worse has all happened before and will happen again.
This is a once in lifetime occurance in some areas.
It will never have a contingency plan.
If there was one it would have been shelved years ago to save money.
Long before New Labour.
May have even been Old Labour or Tories or Whigs come to that. |

Yes it will happen again,
but why is Un Elected Brown
not doing enough.
The Red Cross is doing more than he is.

Exactly .... methinks LTNS has forgotten that the armed forces are now at their last knockings with reserves being dangerously low.
Cue LTNS 10 Years of corrupt Stinking New Labour with Unelected Brown |

Yes but Not a Lot.
This is what the Territorials would be ideal for.
Do not forget though they may also be underwater. |
