I thought we were dealing with experts
Parts of the UK are suffering record flooding. Some people have been under water for WEEKS. Eventually, at the weekend the government put up a spokesperson to apologise for their mishandling of the situation (which includes only very belatedly involving the military).
What was simply astonishing to me was the tiny throwaway line by the individual in question, the much- and very correctly hated-Eric Pickles, who said in reference to the scientific advice they'd received '...we thought we were dealing with experts...' I thought I'd surely misheard this but no, he actually said these words.
Might I suggest the best use of Mr Pickles' slug-like form is to use his Jabba the Hut-style body as a giant barrage to block oncoming floodwater as it seems little use for much else.
