    the local councils for agreeing planning permission, etc, etc, etc.

    strongly opposed to post flood handouts to homeowners/businesses funded by all taxpayers. When would it end?
    At the outskirts of Tory on Thames I expect.
    The residents of Holderness have been watching their homes slide down eroding cliffs for years. Must be galling to hear Cameron say Money no Object now.

    I don't get the support for those who chose not to insure.
