The basic policy is set by central government and it is that which is flawed.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Everyones a winner (except the taxpayer).
Land owners become rich.
Councils become rich.
Property developers become rich.
Estate agents become rich.
Then, when it floods, which it will, we can blame "global warming" and that means 4x4 drivers, and so we can tax the sh1t out of them and the government become rich.
