I am waiting for the tipping point in the current flooding fiasco, ( 30 COBRA meetings? really?), when the Tory's try to blame the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, along with the trade union Unite, for the flooding of the Somerset Levels. At the moment, the closest they can get to blaming Labour is by blaming the head of the Environment Agency, Chris Smith, who just happens to be an ex- Labour Member of Parliament.
There have been several examples of political grandstanding by Tory MP's. The first being the Tory MP for the area, Ian Liddell-Granger, who has called Chris Smith an idiot and has said that if he could, he would jam Smith's head down a toilet and flush it, whilst attempting to portray Prime Minister Cameron as some type of latter day Moses, as if his visit to the levels had turned back the tide like the parting of the Red Sea.
The second piece of vomit inducing grandstanding has been perpetrated by Eric Pickles, the obnoxious Communities Minister. Now those who know Pickles will understand the comment made by a critic of Pickles grotesque attempt at political grandstanding. The critic suggested that Pickles would be better of shutting up and deploying himself as a sandbag. For those who are unaware of Pickles, I can only enlighten you by saying if Cameron is a latter day Moses, then Pickles could be best described as a latter day Jabba The Hut. He his bloody fat. I mean fat, you know, really really fat.
The truth is that last summer The Environment Agency wrote, on behalf of the residents of the Somerset Levels, to the Prime Minister, asking for extra money to dredge the rivers in the area because of the fear of what might happen. The outcome was that the plea for extra funding was denied by Downing Street and the rest is history. Add into the mix, cuts in government funding for the Environment Agency and staff redundancy's, and you have a potent brew just waiting to boil over.
So who is to blame? Answer: The Prime Minister, David Cameron.
Now he has 'heroically' pledged extra money for the area, but it is to late, the horse has bolted
What we have learnt from recent events is that their is no personal tragedy that the Tory's are not prepared to try and grab in order to attempt to make political capital out of and they will not allow such irrelevant little things such as facts and the truth to get in the way.
An interesting aside is the reaction to the flooding that has now occurred around Windsor in the South East. An area that could be called a Tory heartland. Within ONE DAY! YES, THAT'S RIGHT. ONE DAY! The Army and The Navy were called in to help residents and fill sandbags.
So that's.
South East = 1 day before help is called in.
South West = 6 weeks and counting.
Ex-Wildlife Minister Benyon
Those of you who are regular readers of this blog may have noticed I have not been the biggest supporter of ex-Environment Minister Richard Benyon. However, for the purposes of fairness, I must say, out of all the howling and screeching voices that have surrounded the flooding fiasco, his has been one of the most sane and measured. Particularly his criticism of the knee-jerking, reactionary moron Liddell- Grainger. So well done Mr Benyon, perhaps getting the sack has allowed you to gain a better perspective on life, although I expect you still spend your spare time slaughtering birds for fun.
Marius The Giraffe.
A young giraffe, raised by a zoo, was deemed surplus to requirements and treated no better than unwanted waste products, even though there were many offers to re-home him.
INSTEAD, THE DISGUSTING SO CALLED ANIMAL CONSERVATIONISTS AT COPENHAGEN ZOO BLEW Marius's **CKI** BRAINS OUT!!
They were responsible for bringing Marius into this world. They were responsible for his welfare and safekeeping. Instead, they BLEW Marius's **CKI** BRAINS OUT!!
UNCARING, SELF-SERVING, SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One Direction.
One Direction's ( what?) Harry Styles ( who?) has 'claimed' they are bigger than the Beatles. I checked out Mr Styles on the Interweb and I think when he says bigger, he actually means fatter.
Stinking Hypocrisy!
Prince Charles and Prince William have 'come together as father and son' to make an appeal to stop the slaughter of wildlife. This just days after Prince William and his protected raptor (allegedly ?) killing brother Harry have enjoyed themselves slaughtering some Spanish wildlife.
It appears that although they enjoy killing sentient animals 'for a bit of fun' themselves, they get a bit touchy when others do it for money.
