      "The government has just one option in the short term. It must do what it did in the 1976 drought when after many weeks of unprecedented heat it appointed Denis Howell to be the minister of drought to co-ordinate a national response. Within three days it started to rain and seemingly never stopped.
      So now, it should immediately appoint a secretary of state for cold."

      What a brilliant idea! :ideaIPB:
