And it's the time of year again.... when Starfish&Coffee has his left wing views severely challenged by the supposed necessity of keeping the flooding out of people's homes.
Okay, so I feel certain that my tax money is well spent when helping people in their personal misfortune, illness and disability for example, but how much of my tax money should be spent protecting other people's private property? On telly I see conservatories bigger than my London flat, and owners blaming the government for the water that has submerged it.
