When I was at Uni many moons ago, the Student's Union was effectively ignored by 95% of the students. The Union spent its time banning things and supporting marxist dictatorships around the world....

A long thread on flooding in Fishlake:

Fishlake up in Yorkshire is in the news now because it is under water. (The name, of course, says it all but the Wisdom of our Ancestors holds little sway today).

Not for the first time. Not too far in the past the whole area downstream from York (on the Ouse) and Doncaster (on the Don) flooded most years. The land varies from about 3 to 10m above sea level so of course it did; 3m is spring high tide on the Humber.
