I am still trying to digest the latest nonsense put out by our ever
watchfull BBC.
The programme in question was yesterdays Country file largly given over to
the drought in Southeast England,and how we are all doomed by the ongoing
GW.
Various scenarios were discussed as to what could be done about it
including piping water across country from the very wet parts of our
Island,but the very ernest enviromentalist said it would be far too
expensive at maybe one million pounds per kilometre. Do what !.that sum
represents about one weeks costs in Iraq,and probably the monthly salary
bill for ChelseFC.
Have they all gone totally barmy,and money obsessed ?,we have a large
crisis looming in the Southeast,which according to the experts could be
cured with a few years effort and the water companies/government dosh.
Perhaps we should save our money though for a penny off income tax,or a
couple of quid a week for the poor old age pensioners ,that would probably
be much more satisfying that solving a crisis for the next government.
The British Isles is sloshing with water most of the year ,so lets get it
to the parts who need it with a water grid..Isambard Kingdom Brunel could
have done it,or.
bring back Winstone Churchill I say !
