Not Enough Gritting Salt - A Climate Education

Why the merry fuck have councils not stored enough grit?

Here's the thing, the UK occupies similar latitudes to Belarus, which means London's climate ought to be similar to Minsk's, but we're lucky - we get the North Atlantic Conveyor bringing us lots of lovely warmth.

Of course the amount of warmth is variable, and it's really not the sort of thing you rely on during, say, winter. The default position of the UK's winter climate ought to be 'cold and snowy', with grit and services kept with that in mind, not 'mild and wet.'

The Jamaican authorities could be understandably caught out by a massive snowstorm, the UK ones though? Fucking cretins.
