The Somerset Floods - UK, December 2013-14

 

Some say these are just another symptom of Global Warming; others (increasingly fewer) remain sceptical.

 

However, there is no doubt at all that the effect has been exacerbated by:

  • building on known flood-plains

  • not dredging rivers adequately for lack of funds and competence


By universal consent (though not by Ken Clarke), the government response has been slow and inadequate.
