The Met Office is warning Londoners to prepare for the risk of flooding as winter approaches, following recent extreme weather.
During the extreme weather, sewage came up through manhole covers and toilets in people's homes and flooded streets in Woodford, Walthamstow and Battersea.Danny Briottet says it's taken more than a year to repair damage caused when his home in Kilburn floodedDanny Briottet's home in Kilburn, north-west London, was flooded during heavy rain in July 2021, and is still being renovated by builders due to the extent of the damage.
Mr Briottet said they were lucky to get most of their valuables upstairs, unlike neighbours who didn't have insurance or weren't able to move their things quickly.
This is good news, we need as many scientists as we can get at the moment, especially post-Brexit 🙏
You can hire some Dutch people as have them prevent flooding by building some dykes. Or you can tax people becuase climate, and force them to be even poorer, and then do nothing, and then flood the poor people anyway. Your call England!
It happens,why dont your govt fix the flooded holes in the street,maybe there wouldn't be flooding if you fixed the drains
So,scientists cause flooding? 🌍 ClimateCrisis ClimateEmergency ClimateAction ClimateActionNow CleanWater CleanAir 12 years of Conservatives Corruption? Sewage Cuts affect public services 1st duty of 🇬🇧 Government is to KEEP ALL CITIZENS SAFE and the country secure!
Maybe it will lead to more companies heading out to other areas of England instead of everything being in London.
Why are so many scientists going to London
Why are scientists flooding London?
You build a city around a river then stop the river’s natural course of meandering that’s why it floods stop interfering in nature that solves the problem
Nothing new, that's why they built the Barrier, but they knew it wouldn't last and options were supposed to be made available to back up water ways and encourage water away from development areas!! I wonder why that didn't happen
More flooding by scientists?
Too many people using sewage systems built for a smaller population back in Victorian times and never properly updated by the profit making water companies so water cannot run through drains quick enough
Who trusts Scientists these days? They talk what ever the paid to talk then you guys report on what your paid to report on.
Can someone explain to me why England can’t handle rain? How poor is the infrastructure? Canada literally shelves layers of snow that will melt & never flood a street cause the drainage system works. British ppl need to ask for more from their cheap rich government.
And yet the people who get mad about protests allegedly disrupting ambulances and fire engines are so quiet about this.
Londoners are going to be flooded by scientists Oh dear, oh dear BBC.
Scientists are flooding London?
Don’t tell Hartley Sewer
Scientists are always flooding somewhere and something should be done about them!?!
London being flooded by scientists? Maybe need a new scientist barrier 🤔
May be an issue with drains that are blocked due to lack of maintenance.
Councils urged to unblock waterways and drainage... sorted
Could be worse. Might be dentists.
Are scientists flooding us?
Word order.
Like, buy some wellie boots?
It wasn't that long ago that we were being warned that the UK was in danger of being turned into a desert due to lack of rainfall: gave up listening to the 'experts' years ago - there never has been an expert weather forecaster, and never will be :l
Or they could just clean the drains out once on a while
Scientists - it must be true 🤡
Sort the drains out then
Flooding By Scientists? We Have To Stop These Scientists
No, the scientists are doing the urging not the flooding. Sort out your grammar!
Is there any room for more scientists in London
Flooding by scientists? How dare they?
You don't need to be a scientist to know this or put it down to climate emergency 🤷♂️
Well tell the councils to make sure leaves picked up and drains cleared
Are they the same ones who said by 2020 London would see yearly floods upto 30ft deep.... Yet none have happend .
'scientists'
People called Romanes they go the house'?
Please ask the scientists not to flood London.
Stop blocking the drains then
Those would be the Thames Water PR scientists I assume. Nothing to do with us guv.
Damn those scientists
Prepare for more floods? When did London last flood? Just asking?
What will help though ? Oh yes ,send your taxes to other countries 🖕
When do we get reparations surely we must be classed as a poorer nation now
Why are the scientists flooding us? Is Bill Gates pulling their funding and they're crying rivers of salty tears?
Does that mean we should be able to use our hosepipes! 🤣🤣🤣
The sewage system and drainage system was built in the 19th century, built for 6 million at most, not 10 million, blocked drains, feck all to do with climate change, also concrete everywhere, where is the water supposed to drain to?
How many scientists are coming to London
Why are scientists flooding London?
Scientists are clearly taking their climate models too seriously.
Stop building on flood plains -and clean the drains of fat bergs
Most of the flooding my area is caused by leaves blocking the drains not Climate change!
OMG!! It’s hitting London 😱😱 The rest of us just pop upthe umbrella and wade-on
Londoners urged by scientists. It really wasn't that hard to write.
Because the mayor has bankrupted the city and drainage is knackered.
Somebody stop them!!!
Yet GLAConservative believes climate change doesn't exist and are opposed to introduce ULEZ to combat pollution which kills hundreds of people in London every year.
Perhaps if the councils cleaned the drains more often that might help. As anyone seen the wagons that suck the drains out recently, I haven't seen them for years.
That's winter for ya 🤦♂️
Why are scientists causing flooding? The bastards.
Why are scientists flooding London?
25 years ago they said the Maldives would no longer exist in 25 years, Today more people are moving there than ever before.
How about clearing out the drains and not concreting over everything?
English much, dudes?
Coke ? 8m.tons of plastic in the ocean every year. 328 billion car miles 60% pollution hidden by VW. Carnival the cruise operator, 10 times more SO2 than 260 millioncars.Airlines emitted 918 million tonnes of CO₂. Coal accounted for over 40% of the overall growth in global CO2!
Clear the drains perhaps. 😂
