Oh Arthur, foreign aid and flood protection don't come from the same budget. AS I have mentioned in many threads, sneding money to help other countries is important.

There are areas flooded where they had recent improvements made to the protection but they still flooded.

In Rutherglen where I stay a main road has been closed for 24 hrs due to the road flooding and the Clyde over flowing. I do think that if a place is prone to flooding then no matter what measures are put in place, it will still get flooded especially in low lying areas.
