Oh dear,
This is becoming something of a north/south split, without need gentlemen. I notice our PM correctly quoted today that his government spends more on flood defences in the north than the south. That's as it should be, it rains more the further north you go in our "sceptered isles" as a general rule. He did though duck the direct question about the 20% cuts he has imposed across the board on these very defences. A 20% cut is just that, a matter he will not address. I'm not sure if that makes me a lefty or a right winger, personally I wouldn't vote for any of the parties currently occupying parliament. I see though an element of divide and rule coming in this false wedge being driven about a north/south divide.

Apologies for any political inference, I'm bereft of the daft pastime personally.
