Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria
Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire.

No i have no desire to join or be a part of any political party at the moment, and if i did the last party i would choose is Labour, but i would like to see a realist voice of opposition in the HOC.

Why? - well the Pound and the Euro are both defunct and neither will survive the inevitable collapse of the US dollar. Labour (at least the Dennis Skinners of the world) will keep stating that a global meltdown caused the last mini crash in 2008, and I guess in a way, that is partially true. With out getting into previous spending that is not what is important. What is actually important is that british and european business has a lot of exposure to the dollar, so do all our banks, so the banks fail, lets not kid ourselves we can do another "bailout".
I think the entire world is headed for a great economic reset, it will happen. people often keep arguing the last one came from the USA, well the next one will too, but it will make the last look like a Sunday picnic in the park.
Its the entire system that will collapse, it was always going to.
