Snow
So everywhere is chaos. Why? Because nowadays everything works to due process and best practice and for snow, because we do not get a lot of it in the south, there is no plan. But I have lived in the south all my life. We used to have snow and coped well enough. We even manged big stuff like the war and got on with our day. What has gone wrong?
To begin with people saw it as their duty to make their own preparations. Many cars were fitted with chains on their tyres and others fitted winter tyres with massive treads on the driving wheels, mostly then at the back. Every farm had a snow plough which attached to a tractor and the farmer was paid to keep the roads near the farm open. In the towns all the council outside employees were mobilised (in the days of a large direct labour force) with shovels and grit in handcarts to go all round the town in gangs to make the pavements safe and the roads passable. Main roads and railways were ploughed 24 hours a day with special teams of four or six on board the snow ploughs with shovels to cope with the unexpected. There were still problems, but only in the very worst conditions and then not for long.
There was no vast investment. There was a great deal of make do. What there was a lot of was initiative, common sense and clear purpose. There was improvisation. There was also a huge diversion of labour from activities halted by the snow to new emergency tasks. But there was something else. More of everyday life was in the hands of more local local authorities and when their remit reached the limit, of County, City or Metropolitan authorities which had much greater control over more generous budgets with power to act as their councillors saw fit.
What the last few days of suffering, disappointment and national humiliation have shown us is that just like our imploded financial model, our model for governance does not work either when put under stress. We need also to return to a rational approach to Health and Safety instead of the present ludicrous bureaucratic fundamentalism now operating.
A lady living not far from me rang the council to ask for someone to come and grit her lane as she feared for life and limb on the sheet ice. Of course they said. Only too pleased to help an elderly person in need. The Act says we have a Duty. But there will be a three day delay while we carry out a Risk Assessment, before we can let the gritters through as our first Duty is to assure the safety of the gritters.
Not only can we not operate like this any more, but we have to stop educating young people to suppose that this gibberish has anything to do with rational life. We also have to cut the slice of taxation handled by central government with all its waste and profligacy and increase the resources of local government so that taxpayers can keep a better eye on where their money is going. When their councillors go mad they can vote them out. There will also be positive and invidious comparison between one authority and another. That sort of competition works.
Just a fast hello and also to thank you for discussing your ideas on this page. I wound up in your weblog right after researching physical fitness connected issues on Yahoo… guess I lost track of what I had been performing! Anyway I’ll be back once once more inside the long term to check out your blogposts down the road. Thanks!
Awesome information about Malcolm Blair Robinson. The post was right on target. Keep up the good work.
There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made sure good points in options also.
Would you be occupied with exchanging hyperlinks?
I discovered your website on Google a moment ago and really love it.. i book marked it and definitely will return to learn a lot more tomorrow.
Get upset! Really its a must to take a look past everything and get upset. This will help you stay above the curve.
Trusting to make the right decisions can be tough. Many of us develop this ability over the course of our life. It doesn’t really just happen if you know what I mean.
This makes me somewhat upset. I’m not saying you are responsible, I think it is everyone else out there that isn’t taking notice.
I’m curious if you ever have problems with what people post? Recently it seems to have become an epidemic, except that recently it seems to have become better. Do you agree?
Excellent ideas throughout this post, personally I’m gonna have to bookmark this and come back to it. Do you have any feedback on your most recent post though?
This is a good subject to talk about. Usually when I find stuff like this I stumble it. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I’ll take a look around your site though and submit something else.
This is a different sort of opinion that many people don’t usually talk about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I will be sure to submit something else though.
Just now you can branch out from your daily understanding. The best thing you can do is become relevant with yourself and faithful with your own morals. Generally this will lead to a mistaken and unproductive life.
If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. Don’t give up your morals for anything. Generally this will lead to a mistaken and unproductive life.
Have you noticed the news has changed its approach recently? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. Frankly it is about time we see a change.
Yes, you may! Admin

Hey really nice website, I noticed your website when doing study on some methods to develop my web log. I was simply inquiring which spam software system you use for comments as I get tons on my site.

It’s pretty interesting that the mainstream media has changed the way it looks at this recently dont you think? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. It’s that time to chagnge our stance on this though.
If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. Don’t give up your morals for anything. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.
If you are like a lot of people you can simply overlook this. The best thing you can do is become relevant with yourself and faithful with your own morals. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.
If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. The real truth comes with being honest with yourself and your goals. Generally this will lead to a mistaken and unproductive life.
