The Telegraph publishes a piece from the horse's mouth.
Meanwhile others think it's all a deep laid plot by the EU. Pity Ishtar Dingir doesn't know that the Somerset Levels are meant to flood. Perhaps he should talk to Julian Temperley.
Anecdotally, my brother, also a farmer in Somerset, reports that the EA have been doing some river clearance, but along the Parrett upstream of the levels. As a result, when his bit of the river floods, the floods disappear in hours, where it used to take days. He also reports seeing water cascading over the tops of the banks of the Parrett, draining back onto the levels the water that the EA is spending so much of our money pumping into it.
