It seems to me that there is always money to be found to invade another country..say Iraq for example, where the British taxpayer has now spent well over 5 billion pounds on the invasion and occupation of that country.
However,when it comes to flood defences and the protection of homes and the environment this government has failed to come up with the dosh or the resolve or the public services to protect communities across the UK.
Of course Bush has spent trillions of dollars on his crazed Iraq adventure while New Orleans was allowed to drown in the waters and mud.
