you missed God & Immigrants!

I don't think we will find out for a while but I suspect it will be decades of screw ups with epic rainfall

'tis the jet-stream. when's it gonna budge? any amateur weathermen here?

**BrilloPad** · 10 February 2014, 23:04

I was actually toying with 'Scotland' but decided that might anger a few people on here

Thought it was Gods vengeance for legalising gay marriage ... or was that York Minster?

It looks to me like a combination of things

EA - parking ground for failed politicians and quangocrats
EA - deliberate policy of allowing 'low value' areas to flood
EA - Allowing green groups to have a big say in policy (WWF)
Gov - Not keeping an eye on the ball, allowing the quango to mushroom
Met Office - Warning Somerset to expect a dry winter due to 'climate change'
Smith - for being useless at everything except having chins
Treasury - for concocting a stupid 'value for money' rule (possibly - not verified yet)
EU - for imposing stupid limitations and rules on the EA
