Or "sunlit uplands await us", or some other such flowery shit. Still waiting. Governments also use crises to opportunistically punish us as well. "Sorry guys we are in deep trouble and it's only right that you take the pain." And we always suck it up. Imagine the two decades after world war two when their was a massive council house building project a national health service free to use the nationalisation of industry's that gave the workers job security and decent pensions all seems now days it never happened bar the NHS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then as you say add to that waste, a hundred thousand new mouths every year on an island that can’t support it and it’s all a cluster f**k.

socks 32,253 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 The biggest cause of flash flooding is blocked drains which councils haven’t cleaned for years. There is nowhere for the water to go. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to be total f***ing insanity everywhere you look mate. the problem is they are using little pissy 4/6" drainage pipes and tiny premade inspection chambers that can't handle the volume of water and tapping them into the old existing stuff been around since Victorian times in the big city's and towns 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 24,777 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hunt has just reversed all the changes Truss and Karteng had announced in their budget, Hunts calling the shots now. So, Truss is Prime Minister in name only, she's been humiliated, I don't see how she can carry on. Cheers. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 22,595 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Too much Storm water is going into Foul Drains. Drains used to have to be straight with a full moon showing or else they got failed and you had to lay them again. Some of the drain laying with plastic pipe I see is a joke . Not one reservoir has been built in Devon since privatisation 1989, I think Roadford was finished the same year but was started 1986. Think its the same all over the country. Here in the South West we pay the highest bills for the joint worst performing water board. They been taking the piss for years. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,794 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I've just looked up Hunt's wife too. She works for Chinese state media, which basically broadcasts unchallenged propaganda. Surely that's incompatible with her husbands position? Its not on imo.

socks 32,253 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hunt is a very dangerous man. He applauded the Chinese methods of lockdown during covid and wanted the same for this country. He is a massive proponent of mandatory vaccines, digital currency and Chinese type state control. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
