Would you be prepared to pay into a lottery for sea defences on the east coast of England?

Question

Seems we have a lot of selfish people.Why should Norfolk people pay towards motorways.Forget the RSPB they are just land grabbers who contribute nothing.

Answer 1

Nope, we pay enough to the government for stuff like this, if they didn't p*ss it away we'd have plenty of ££ to improve this country

Answer 2

since i live their yes i would

regards x kitti x

Answer 3

yes..not with my money though, i'd much prefer to build a wall to keep immigrants out, like the welsh

Answer 4

Sea defence? Who against, "Zer Geeermanz"?

Actually no...the cost for armouring against an invasion of the sea  along 250 miles of coastline is prohibitive, and probaby pointless.

Answer 5

According to the N.Trust and their cohorts it would be more beneficial to allow the sea to reclaim the land!! Beneficial to whom- if they get their way it will be a relocation allowance you will need!! (see earlier answer)

Answer 6

No that should be taken care of locally, why should i pay for something that doesn't affect me.

Answer 7

Reinstatement of the original salt marshes is a much more effective way of providing sea defences rather than wasting money on higher and higher walls. This is already being done in some locations by Nat. Trust and RSPB to great effect. It's also good for wildlife and doesn't release huge volumes of CO2 making concrete.

Answer 8

What does the winner get?

To stand on the sea-defences in a raging storm and test out if they work or not?

To be strictly honest. I live smack-bang in the centre of England, I'm not overtly effected by rivers either unless I need to go into the town centre. I sympathise with these people however, I'm not going to pay into a fund that I won't benefit from. Who the h**l is going to?

There's more than enough people habituating on the East Coast to pay for their own sea defences, fact being though, we see it as something the Government should be doing.

Is that true? I don't know, but I know I'd rather pay for my own defences than wait for the Government.

Answer 9

i live here too and im affraid " the sheriff of nottingham" (brown) has robbed us enough, he should be spending our taxes on the uk not freeloaders from other countrys with no skills or rights to be here! if they spent it more wisely we would be ok" now they take £300 a day each in expenses! for what? wine and song.. the whole government are thieves and highway robbers " where's robin hood when u need him!
