Atlantic superstorm to hit today.

The Daily Express never fails in its mission to scare pensioners with tales of impending weather doom. I see they now have an artists impression of a monster wave about to swamp the whole of Britain ,accurately measured at 75ft to be fair, and have slipped "tsunami" into the narrative. Top fucking journalism there; just need to link in the royal family under imminent threat of drowning in the floods and their mission would be complete.

Mild winters are for pussies. I want snow.

Don't forget according to The Express the famous weather conspiracy front in 97 that caused the death of Diana...

Same. Head to the Lakes or Central Scotland they've got masses..but you'd never hear about that

At half past eleven last night it was 10 degrees celsius. Ridiculous.

They must have signed up that UKIP mentalist ,who linked it all to Gays getting hitched. to write their editorials. That would be a match made in heaven .

You can fucking have it. Back garden's looked like this since late November.

 

[Anny Road]

All these Somerset farmers blaming the government for the floods. They say the rivers should be dredged but they are only blocked because they are dumping 20ft chickens and deformed plums in them.

Fucking hell. You really must stop wanking alfresco, Alan.

Yeah I know. The people down the street complain when it gets on their houses.

[Strontium]

I'd have thought you'd be bang up for that Stronts. Efficiency at the cost of humanity and all.

 

You've clearly never understood any of my posts, ever.

I've understood all of your posts, even those you haven't.

What if you didn't buy your house in a flood plain but the increasing urbanisation upstream has resulted in faster run-off and higher peak river levels?

[stringvest]

To suggest that the government, by relaxing rules on planning applications, can walk away from the flooding issue is mildly bewildering. They are providing the framework within which the local councils operate. In fact they have made it very easy for councils to set much less stringent criteria by which developers can win permission to build, including building on flood plains.

That's because nobody gives a fuck about Scotland....

[PestiRed]

That Express picture demonstrating the size of a 75 ft wave is ace

 

[Anubis]

The UK is looking a bit flat though.

[Hand Shandy]

Flood warnings in place on the Thames.

 

Suddenly the politicians are a bit more interested...

To be fair there have been loads of properties underwater around Staines and Chertsey for weeks.

So, what is the explanation for the slow/inadequate/pathetic response when, from a safe distance oop north, this all seems to be taking place in prime tory country?
