Who cares about Skegness?

Below is a map reproduced in the Daily Mirror and created by the organisation Climate Central. The red bits show which areas they predict will be under water by 2050. Build those walls!  Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the east coast of England will be the worst affected, given its proximity to Dogger Bank, which only 10,000 years ago was a lush, habitable landmass. The eastern side of  England is also naturally sinking, regardless of climate change. Apart from creating a new island out of East Yorkshire, it will be seen that Lincolnshire is likely to be the most extensively flooded area in England. Lincolnshire is prime territory for Reform UK, which also means it is an area which nurtures its own breed of reactionary politics, including several numpty councillors quoted in their asylum newsfeed GB News accusing Ed Miliband of ‘trashing’ the local countryside by approving a 500 hectare wind farm, to be developed by  none other than Labour Party mega-donor Dale Vince, millionaire owner of Ecotricity. All power to Vince—thinking ahead he’s found a way of building his turbines off shore before their location becomes offshore. Like Trump, the Lincolnshire numpty councillors don’t care about the day after tomorrow. And really: who cares if Skegness has to relocate to Nottinghamshire?
