Politics And Crisis Management

I am very confused. In the past a Conservative Prime Minister would have been outraged at the scope and duration of the suffering of those flooded. But we have had a generally quiet PM, now visiting the flooded areas. He isn't mad at a government agency that hasn't performed well, he isn't taking any action against the imbecile that runs the Environment Agency. He isn't demanding to know, well, anything. He's just, you know, concerned.

But concerned in what way? People are being seen on the TV saying they are doing what they can but are amateurs, exhausted etc. What they are actually saying is that they need direction, specific help and some idea that we can and are getting on top of it. The government reply that they hope it will stop raining soon. This from the people who tell us that if we pay enough taxes we can change the whole world's climate!

Oh and of course, Cameron is 'pretty sure' the imaginary friend, Global Warming is to blame. The deliberate flooding policy of the EA, seen now taking its effect, was of course a directive from the EU. And so proud are they of this and all their policies that it has to be kept out of conversation and debate. So, a scam to support the dreams of anti-capitalists and a ruling from unelected technocrats are wrecking lives in Britain and it must not be discussed openly. Proud of the country you live in?
