Don't worry, you won't be asked to foot the bill. Now you don't need
to worry about spending all that money on Christmas presents.

All taxpayers foot the bill, even though they don't get flooded.

Their insurance companies do. Supposing they can get insurance where
they live.

No, the GOVERNMENT is paying for damages, not just insurance companies.

The Government money is what they raise from taxes. Unless the Cabinet are
paying out of their own pockets, which I doubt.

Because that's the way it works.

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.

did you know that he has got a degree?

Yes. Pity there is **** all in the way of jobs for anyone
with that particular degree there and he is determined
to stay there instead of moving to where there are a
few jobs in that area. **** all jobs tho.

He's just another example of someone who gets a
degree in what interests them without considering
what qualifications would get him a job.

A degree in what I'm good at,

Even when the job prospects in that area have always
been pathetic with all except teaching which you appear
to have decided isn't the sort of job that appeals to you.

I took the subjects all through school that I was best at. No point in trying for a degree that'll get you a job, then failing it.

and you can't tell how many jobs will
be in that line of work in the future.

Corse you can. Its obvious that there aren't that many
jobs as horse fettlers likely in the future, or archaeologists
etc either.

Physics seems pretty important to me.

And that we are going to need a hell of a lot
more people working in health care as the population
ages and a bigger percentage of the population survive
to the age when they need a hell of a lot more health
care. Its also obvious that as the number children
people have keeps dropping, that there will be a lot
fewer jobs as teachers too and that many more of
them will be teaching the kids of recent immigrants too.

And that places like Britain do **** all in the way of
digital microelectronics design now, let alone Scotland.

You can't tell where that will be, but you can be sure there is a lot of it.

Given the long term nature of housing and short term nature of some

authority for allowing house building on known flood planes rather
than
alternative, even green field, sites.

We should assume builders and architects will build wherever they
can to
make a profit.


There is one group with the clout that could stop house building on
flood plains - the insurance companies. They are backing a campaign,
but I've no idea if they have achieved any success.

http://www.floodfreehomes.org.uk/


It is trivial, if not totally cheap, to place new builds either in
bunded locations, or indeed above flood levels by simply giving them
'non habitable' ground floors (garages and the like).

Still a problem with the cost of the damage to the cars etc.

Drive them up a hill if it starts raining.

Not very practical where it can rain every day for months.

But there is no code of practice to make this happen.

Because no one world wide has ever been silly enough to go that route.

Oh you silly little boy.

How on EARTH do you think Holland and the Anglian fens work?

They aren't silly enough to drive their cars up a hill every time it rains.

Massive bunding and really well worked out flood control

Pity about the immense cost of that approach.

Dyke is not JUST an LBGT term sweetie pie.


What does work is the way the Dutch have done it, at immense cost.

Its the same way., just done larger, and its not that costly actually.
you deliberately flood, put the roads on causeways and the house s
behind them. And pump that land into the wet bits.

Just a tad more expensive than where you dont have to do that.


Which is why flood plain land is going cheap.


You can do it top a 1/4 acre plot, or to a 50 square mile polder. Well
obviously *you* cant, but I mean educated intelligent people who can
do sums and stuff, and operate Earth moving equipment, and aren't
members of the Green party, can.

Pity about the cost.

Bloody sight cheaper and more cost effective than sodding windmills and
solar panels when you do the sums.

Oh, I forgot... You don't do sums.

Yes, we have a lot more flooding than you lot do, particularly

We do that with you whinging poms that show up here too.

Did it myself too with the fools that showed up here in the 70s and
whined about the fact that our 'benefits' were nothing like what
they were back in that soggy frigid little island that couldn't provide
the whingers with a decent job or even a decent climate either.

Thought you loved those freaky Muslims Rod?

I've had lots to do with all sorts of immigrants. No
choice really given that we have over twice the per
capita net immigrant rate that you lot whine about there.

Then why the **** don't you lot do something about it?

I took the subjects all through school that I was best at.

Some must have been compulsory.

The useless ones like Geography.

No point in trying for a degree that'll get you a job, then failing it.

But a lot of point in doing a degree that will get you
a job and not failing it,

If you pick the subjects you're crap at, you'll probably fail the degree.

specially when you have to pay
a substantial cost out of your own pocket to get it.

Education (was) free here, in fact I was PAID to go to uni.

and you can't tell how many jobs will
be in that line of work in the future.

Corse you can. Its obvious that there aren't
that many jobs as horse fettlers likely in the
future, or archaeologists etc either.

Physics seems pretty important to me.

**** all employers agree with you on that.

None that employ those with degrees in physics
where you choose to 'live' apart from schools.

Most scientific advances involve physics. Everything is a subset of physics.

Actually, my first job was sort of got by my degree. I got the interview for a different job there because of my degree, but someone who already had experience in the same line of work got the job (he left his previous job to take it as it was a 2 year contract only). I was then given a job which didn't previously exist, based on my hobbies ffs.

And that we are going to need a hell of a lot
more people working in health care as the population
ages and a bigger percentage of the population survive
to the age when they need a hell of a lot more health
care. Its also obvious that as the number children
people have keeps dropping, that there will be a lot
fewer jobs as teachers too and that many more of
them will be teaching the kids of recent immigrants too.

And that places like Britain do **** all in the way of
digital microelectronics design now, let alone Scotland.

You can't tell where that will be, but
you can be sure there is a lot of it.

Pity its almost entirely done where you choose
not to 'live' or where they wouldn't have you
even if you were happy to move there.

Who would live where it costs 10 times as much to live in half the land space?

Because it's quite a bit cheaper to do that than to pay the much
higher cost of dealing with the dregs of country that dont bother
to send their kids to school when it isnt free and compulsory.

Well there you go. That's essentially the same answer to the question "Why
should I help foot the bill for extra police security in our cities when I
was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to the proposal to bomb Syria"

No that is a quite different question.

Because its cheaper than dealing with syria and the like by recolonising
them and teaching them how to play nice?

That isn't even possible let alone morally acceptable.

Morality costs money. We need to stop it.

of us. Are you going to pay us all back?

It should have been footed by his parents, as they chose to have him.

You don't know that they did choose to have him.

Don't worry, you won't be asked to foot the bill. Now you don't
need to
worry about spending all that money on Christmas presents.

All taxpayers foot the bill, even though they don't get flooded.


Ah, understood. Why should I help foot the bill for extra police
security in our cities when I was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and
to
the proposal to bomb Syria?


Why should I foot the bill for primary education when I don't have
children?

Because it's quite a bit cheaper to do that than to pay the much
higher cost of dealing with the dregs of country that dont bother
to send their kids to school when it isnt free and compulsory.

Well there you go. That's essentially the same answer to the question
"Why

No that is a quite different question.

Because its cheaper than dealing with syria and the like by recolonising
them and teaching them how to play nice?

That isn't even possible let alone morally acceptable.

Morality costs money.

Not necessarily.

We need to stop it.

Not even possible.

Most of us do not have mental health issues: but we don't complain about our
taxes being used to fund the treatment of people like you.

People who are ill cannot help it. People in flood plains are just bloody stupid.

In general people don't choose to be ill.
They do choose to buy on a flood plane.

Is that an Ekranoplan? :-)

Now, after me:

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
By George, she's got it! By George, she's got it!
Now, once again where does it rain? On the plain!
On the plain! And where's that soggy plain?
In Spain! In Spain!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

Usually does. For example keeping people alive who are hardened criminals instead of the death penalty.

We need to stop it.

Not even possible.

Why is it not possible to stop morality? All we need is a decent government that ignores the dogooders.
