So after telling their drivers to put Somerset into their Sat Navs the leaders of the 3 main political parties (Conservatives, Labour and Ukip) finally found their way to the South West (no East West divide down here).
Why did it take the actions of a man who in the past was ridiculed for his views on the environment (as well as talking to plants) to spur the political class to take an interest. How with just a over a year till the next General Election did the Prince of Starkness make Dave and Nick look like a couple of Charlies? With both Dave “vote blue go green” now trying desperately to turn back the tide of public opinion in his favour and Ed “I’ll say anything to pick up the floating voter” donning their wellies it would seem that the Somerset Levels (of bullshit) seems to be rising ever faster. No mention of “We’re all in it together” now eh Dave, or talk of being flooded by Romanians and Bulgarians Nige (the Dutch and their pumps on the other hand).
Instead of trying to invent dangers and disasters why not govern when one occurs (or govern properly and prevent them in the first place). Dave’s “Money is no object” may be comforting for now but will his promise recede with the flood water, leaving nothing but a foul stench (all references being removed from internet by Tory HQ). Enough with the finger pointing and the playing of the blame game and try and find it within yourselves to actually empathise with the flood victims instead of trying to go with the ebb and flow of the popular press and ending up looking like a bunch of King (size) Cnuts.
