DC cancels Middle East visit to deal with flooding

As we cope with yet another wave of dreadful weather, the Prime Minister has cancelled a planned visit to the Middle East, sending his apologies to the heads of government he had been due to visit, to concentrate on dealing with the flooding issue.

I'm sure this was the right thing to do.

He was also right to say that everyone should stop the point scoring until the crisis is over and concentrate on sorting it out.

The political point scoring and grandstanding over the recent floods is just getting annoying. I would agree with DC this issue needs resolving. so how to do that?

well may I start the meeting with "What is this large elephant doing in the meeting room?"

Thanks for the link, Jim: Christopher Booker makes an extremely strong argument in the article you refer to about the changes which are needed in the policies of both the EU and the Environent Agency on issues like dredging and flooding.

I think these points are going to have to be seriously investigated as soon as it is possible to do so in a calm and dispassionate manner - which for the reasons Booker himself highlights in his excellent article, it currently isn't.

And if the evidence bears his points out, which I suspect may well be the case, those policies are going to have to change.
