Coupled with "Flood" which was shown on ITV on Sunday and Monday evening , it quite easily could influence City dwellers that there is a need to establish more space for the 'tide to run out " , hence justifying the creation of such wetlands, as proposed by the EA, who just happen to run a trailer immediately after the film about their flood line! Talk about distorting the truth! It is high time that the 'actual ' facts are reported and the Government taken to task on this issue.
