Red Tape

Heard on the radio today that they are creating a special task force to oversea the rebuilding after the flood.

The task force is to have extra power to allow it to cut through red tape.  Hmm me thinks which government created the red tape in the first place.  Me also thinks that some (a little) of it is probably useful but most of it should go.

I reckon the BCC should get rid of the height restriction on houses.  8m in our area.  People could then build houses on 25m high stilts or perhaps make a floating house that just floats up on top of the flood water.  A flag pole up the middle could keep it from bumping into the nighbours.
