God's wrath over equal marriage flooding anger

Henley Standard: UKIP councillor blames flooding on gay marriage (Link goes to story)

Something different to the usual. No angry people pointing at things, which may appear at a later date. Instead - because the Standard don't put their letters online, I've splashed out 80p on local journalism and bought the print copy for your delight.

First thing you notice is that Mr Silvester's letter isn't even the top letter - he's spirited away onto the second page of letters, and split over two columns. But what you get is local newspaper gold.
