But seriously, it's not so much the rain as the rivers, and the state of flood defences. Wherever it comes from, the rivers are going to swell and overspill and you'll have flooding. And if you allow homebuilding on flood plains without properly draining the land and not investing in flood defences, this will happen again and again.

It can be prevented, but it involves money and effort. So, not under this shower.
Ok it's a slightly frivolous reply, but Beavers.

Now, if it was shooting beavers, she'd be all for it.

What do you think?
Thérèse Coffey - beaver or bald?

It is really quite unacceptable to dig her up for being fat, ugly halfwit.

Nonetheless, she is still a fat, ugly halfwit tory.

Apparently, she has earned the nickname ‘Nellie the Effluent’, which frankly is so spot on it deserves some sort of award.

Anyway, this'll give that fucking useless lump even less to do whilst living up to the new nickname:

England to diverge from EU water monitoring standards

The lefty Guardian portrays these politicians as if they’re rapists or something.

Mr. Blunt does lend himself to a Viz-like "Crispin Blunt - He's A Cunt", doesn't he?

They did a one-off strip called "Bertie Blunt, his Parrot's a Cunt". Way back around 1990.

Remember showing that copy of Viz on holiday in India to an Australian who’d never read it, “this would be huge back in Oz, especially Bertie Blunt.”

Nellie the Effluent’s not the only minister who’s packed their trunk. Giving rise to rumours of a May election as there’s a six month curfew for ministers before they ease themselves into the private sector.

Well the “sympathy card” sort of worked for Johnson, so I thought I’d give it a try. Wrong as it is to question someone’s health, I can only say bollox, go look at your lifestyle first

Sometimes two whole bottles of stress on a school day night.

Some might describe it as a lifestyle choice.

Not for me to second guess whether Ms Coffey’s lifestyle choices were cause or effect but very few jobs in life are worth sacrificing your health for. Ineffective environment minister is certainly not one of them.
It would do no harm if people in power were more honest about their mental health to the point that the public think nothing of a minister or even a leader taking a break.
