Is it me….
has the last few days supply of Grit or Rock Salt is about to be used, I have been listening on the radio to the heated debates on whether or not we should have had more supplies stockpiled and as the Government has now taken over the responsibility for allocation of future supplies, what is going to happen.
The Government recommendation to local councils is to keep only 6 days supply in hand. Now thankfully most council’s kept more than this, but the argument is how much should we hold.
Now my rant is not about whether we should have 12 days or 120 days, no, my rant is on the argument by politicians that this weather is so severe it is a once in 30 years ocurrance and we should not be preparing for such low risks.
Now my problem with this is that successive Governments have invested Billions of pounds in secret underground facilities for key ministers and the important and no doubt “pretty” people to safeguard them in case of a Thermal Nuclear Attack.
Now I have not been down to Ladbrokes to check the odds, but I suspect you could get 1000/1 on an attack this year. SO my rant is, the so called bleeding politicians will argue that we should not complain about the salt stock levels as it is a 1 in 30 chance of it happening, but they invest Billions on something that has never happened other than 2 atomic weapons discharged in 1945 and they expect us to accept they are right!!!
Or is it just me?
