that's where it belongs.
London would not be the Capital and the South and South East would not attract the almost incalculably large subsidies that arise from all the government departments that are down there.
Better would be the smaller impact that the flooding of London, which will eventually happen, will have on the Scottish economy. Imagine a New Orleans affecting 30% of the population and the seat of government and finance and and and.
The sooner all the flood plains are depopulated or all residences and strategic facilities are hardened against flooding the better. Hardened=very cheap and quick recovery to full, safe/healthy re-occupation or better.
Flood plains= highest water level for a 1 in 50 year flood level for existing buildings, 1 in 200year flood level for all new building. This standard of flood recovery hardening could be applied NOW for ALL new build.
