Floods - Cameron's claims there is no North/South divide

He is a terribly arrogant Prime Minister, but maybe that goes with the job. This Government has consistently under minded all policies designed to tackle global warming, and thus the underlying cause of these losses which is climate change. These events were predicted years ago, but the were ignored. Well it is real, it is happening now, and he is ultimately responsible.
Some immediate actions could include
1) Allowing our moorlands to return to forest, with the added bonus of saving the lives of 1000's of grouse
2) Reinstating minimum build standards for all new properties, to include insulation
3) To fund retrofit of older properties
4) To divert fossil fuel subsidies (including fracking and CCS) to renewable energy. This to include the compulsory inclusion of solar panels and ground source heat pumps in all new build
5) To develop a nationwide network of EV charging points, powered by a nationwide network of wind turbines. It may spoil your view, but at least you will be in your house not a life-boat
