Do you think modern buildings last 100 years? There are plenty that have come and gone in my lifetime yet many temporary structures built during WW2 and Victorian properties are still solid.

Embankments will be built if necessary, they may choose to dam the Mersey as that would also protect Garston, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, Halewood, Mickle Trafford, Little Stanney, Stanlow, Sutton Weaver etc which are also reported as high risk before 100 years. There isn't much River Flow down the Mersey so that could be pumped out.

The bigger problem than sea levels is wave heights which are much harder to defend in immediate vicinity to the coast.

There are still a lot of things going on that are not understood, the experts are changing theorems on a regular basis, which they should, but it would be good if at least one theorem stuck around for a while.

I see the Liverpool City Region environmental plan relies quite heavily on encouraging salt marshes as a means of carbon capture to achieve Net Zero in a remarkedly short time, I can't wait to see how that pans out into reality.

Do people building as close to the Mersey and in the and in the docks as possible understand that their lower stories will very likely be underwater in 100 years?

Liverpool One. built largely on the original pool seems vulnerable and Everton's new stadium will be looking pretty soggy too.

I've often said the if you force targets on people you end up with liars and cheats, this was my suspicion in the Lucy Letby "baby murderer" case. Here was a hospital department failing badly on targets.

Lucy was convicted without any hard evidence, primarily on statistics and opinion, here are some points to consider ....


A number of senior statisticians have stated that the way the statistics were used and interpreted was completely unsafe.

Her own boss admitted that she had made misleading statements.

The medical expert has changed his mind about three of the cases and now believes they were not murder.

The systems used to show when she was on the ward have been blown apart as totally unreliable data.

A lot of accusations happened retrospectively after considerable periods of time, it took over a year for this supposed information of murder to filter up the management chain.

The department's consultants will be very aware that some of the deaths could end their careers.

There was a huge trial by media with a heavy bias towards her being guilty.

To me it smells of a scapegoat scenario for a failing department or plain bad luck. She might be guilty, she might not, but she is innocent until proven guilty and there is no credible evidence that she is guilty. There undoubtedly has been some unsafe convictions against her.
