So, who do you blame?

We spin the "Wheel of Blame" but on who should it stop? Knock yourselves out folks!

For the floods?

Immigrants.

[mentalboy]

As we're in 'Politics and current affairs' lets take a guess that it might just be the furore over whose fault flooded Britain is???

I blame the weather (although politicians usually make excellent scapegoats)

Them.

Not entirely sure who they are, but it's definitely their fault and they really should be doing something about it.

I blame the parents.


If it is the flooding, to save money, they stopped dredging a lot of rivers in 1996 - after they had been done for hundreds of years. In Somerset, they even scrapped all the machinery It seems pretty obvious to me that if you stop dredging, the river bottom raises and the rivers can no longer carry the amount of water that they could. It's classic Govt. nonsense - trying to save a few hundred thousand pounds will cost billions
Whoever decided to stop dredging, should be horse-whipped......or drowned.

A mix of weather and a monumental fuckup policy of putting wildlife before human life and buildings, the Van Heck group being told not to talk to the media shows it all really, whats there to hide?

No, the water table is the level at which the water settles in the ground, if it's higher than the river levels (ie saturated to standing water flooding point) then it doesn't matter how much dredging has occurred. Our society seems more concerned with quicker run off techniques which then just create problems for coastal areas.
Dredging helps under normal weather patterns and would have delayed the flooding onset but with the recent weather stuff was going to flood regardless.
