I see floods all over the news.

I told you it was a soggy little island.

Yes, and especially so just now, rain almost every
day for 2 months. The tail end of three hurricanes.

It'll soon be the frigid soggy little island
I keep reminding you it has always been.

What, no global warming? :-)

The climate has always varied.

Exactly.

How much of the variation that has happened has
been due to the activity of man is much harder to say.

Very little IMO, although it is clear that major citys
do produce heat islands etc. It would be a hell of a
lot more surprising if they didn't given the immense
amount of energy that is pumped into them.

If you look at the statistics you'll find we've affected it by **** all.

Why should sensible people like me who didn't buy a house
in a flood plain have to foot the bill for those that did?

Because that's the way it works.

That doesn't answer "why".

Because that's what gets the current crew marginally
better prospects of getting elected again, stupid.

Funny how they frequently do things that annoy most of the public.

When they annoy them enough, and the alternative govt looks
like it will annoy them less, they get the bums rush at the ballot
box in the next election. That's why Labour got the bums rush.

Sometimes the voters just decide that the current crew
has been driving the bus for long enough and that its
time to see if the alternate crew can do any better.

Except they choose the ones they hated only two elections ago. Why not try a third one?

The government is paying millions to "victims" of flood.

They pay millions to those like you who were too stupid
to work out what qualifications would get you a job too.

Not getting a job is the government's fault,

Nope, the fault of those too stupid to get
qualified in an area where there are plenty of
jobs that they have to use immigrants to fill.

Stop the immigrants, then we could work there.

You couldn't because you were too stupid to get
qualified in one of the areas where immigrants
had enough of a clue to get qualified and show
up there like with health care.

Immigrants don't have qualifications. They do bricklaying.

buying a house in the wrong place is entirely your own fault.

Not when the govt is stupid enough to allow house to be built there.

Doesn't matter, if nobody bought flood plain houses, the builders wouldn't
put them there, because they'd never sell them.

There will always be some that can only afford the cheaper places on the
flood plane.

But the builder has made less money.

Anyway, have they never heard of house insurance?

Have you never heard of getting qualified in an area where
there are jobs or moving to somewhere where there are jobs ?

Why would I want to live in a noisy congested city with a house costing 5
times as much for half the size?

You don't have to do that. You could have got qualified
as a teacher

I have teacher friends, they hate their jobs.

or in health care and 'live' where you do now.

Working in health care is not fun.
