  1. The trouble with current affairs is that it gets harder and harder to parody reality. Despite the evidence the Environment Agency remains addicted to hard defences – the most ludicrous currently on offer a cool £100m to build a ‘swimming pool’ next to Oxford to hold flood water, completely ignoring the more resilient and no doubt cheaper option of using the flood plain (as Port Meadow has protected Oxford for hundreds of years) to take the shock. Nor do they seem responsive to the idea the public have worked out for themselves that we seem to be getting an awful lot of ‘200 year’ floods – nor what happens when, following 2007, the 300 or 500 year flood strikes.
