This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Reduce Flooding by Managing Land, Not Rivers
The trouble is if the man was not listened to twenty years ago who is going to take notice today. If it does not suit governments intentions they will poo poo it or just ignore it. with an election around the corner they will go for the quick fix, dredging even though every drainage expert in the country is telling them that it is not the answer.

Optimism and giving credit where it is due is as rare as hens teeth on this forum at times.
Have you changed your mind since you posted this after 2 posts saying virtually the same thing?
Have you no mind of your own. Are you optimistic where politician are concerned and do you have to follow me like a pet poodle.

Well, the government made a bad decision 20 years ago when it decided not to invest in UK giant sponge farms: Giant farms growing giant sponges.
Things would be so much different down south now if they had.
If we had a shed load of giant sponges available then at the earliest signs of a flood the giant sponges could be deployed to soak up all the water.
Sadly, no one ever saw the need, but how different things could have been.
If you two teamed up it would be like the two old geezers heckling in the muppet show
In one post you criticise other for having no faith in politicians and then you post criticising politicians, MAKE YOUR MIND UP, it shouldn't be difficult or take long.
As you can see from my avatar I ONLY like Bull Terriers, you are not one, more like a snappy little lap dog used to getting its own way.
In future TRY to come up with something I haven't used before.[
It is very hard to be original with you it is a very narrow spectrum.
If we teamed up it would be a miracle.

Hahahahha!! totally agree with this. I like to think that if you two opinionated old buggers fished the same venues you would actually be great friends.
