Of a lack of forethought? The economy? Coping with the weather - all weather. Our education system? Law enforcement? The NHS? Transport networks? Foreign policy disasters...remember the invasion of Iraq? Just off the top of my head there"s a few examples.

So you"re saying that the money we would have spent on equipment and maintaining replacing that equipment over the last 20 odd years and obviously maintaining AFTER this snow has passed will be less than the money we"ve lost due to a wekk of snow?
I think you"ll find you"re wrong.

This has become snow-plough navel-gazing. It"s not just this one week of snow is it, this isn"t the first time we"ve come to a stand still because of snow. So over the past twenty years I would argue that we"ve lost more money through not being prepared, than we would have lost through having better equipment and engineering a better culture of preparedness. Is that a word? It is now. It"s not just about snow ploughs. I"m talking about a wider concern which is the lack of forethought in anything.

Do you have any idea of the costs involved for this equipment? what do you mean by "better" equipment. Are you aware of the current systems that are in place?
Regarding "forethought", lets say it going to snow 3 weeks on Thursday. What exactly are you going to do to deal with the problem that will cause?
