Half Arsed effort......

Somerset Levels flooding crisis: scores evacuated as heavy rain overwhelms flood defences in village of Moorland - Telegraph


I actually feel sorry for the Royal Marines in this video. It seems like a half arsed effort, with a small lorry pitching up with a small section of junior rank RM applying a few sandbags in the bleak dead of night in heavy rain.


What a fry up. Granted only God almighty can stop the rain, but was that it, Britain's sole military effort?


Those Marines are in entirely the wrong rig by the way - if anyone is reading this that gives a fig, they should have some sort of skin protection, apparently there is some pretty nasty bacteria lurking now in the water.
