So the flooding there has been in Sheffield and the surrounding towns could have been prevented if the rivers had been properly dredged. Why? Because under EU law and a multitude of other EU directives those rivers in and around that part of Yorkshire were not allowed to be dredged. EU law supersedes UK law - again.
@Atheist_UK nice try on blaming the Eeww. It was actually me and my boyfriend, plus the rest of my 'type' who caused it. Just wait, I'm sure some hypocritical cardinal will explain all on BBC news soon enough.
