Newsnight has a piece tonight on floods. I thought I'd pre-empt a tad, based on a key comment in their blurb.
'...finding that it's difficult to pin down who out of the agencies and local authorities on the ground is really in charge. '
So the money pours (sorry) in, but no one in government or quango who gets paid (handsomely, to retirement and beyond) to spend it like water (bit of a theme here) can even be identified, much less held to account.
Sums up the way are 'governed' these days pretty well, I'd say.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
