This winters rainful has been historic and contributed to significant flooding.

As a nation we’ve also notable success around flood protection. Less rainful caused 200,000 more homes to flood 50 years ago and the significant measures taken sicne then have resulted in far less flooding. But that’s little consolication to those that have been affected.

But it’s also clear that recent governmental agricultural rule changes have also had a major impact on this – http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/17/farmers-uk-flood-maize-soil-protection

It’s little consolation that it was Conservative ministers that let this happen when Lib Dems are in coalition with them nationally.

Sorry to those affected that we didnt block these stupid agricultural rule changes.
