"As the toxic flood waters spread across agriculutral land they are carrying a lethal cocktail of non-biodegradeable contaminants straight into the killing fields which were the brainchild of government policy under former Rural Affairs Secretary Margaret Beckett.
"Now a trickle-down effect in the UK countryside means that underground aquifers in South East England are becoming engorged with polluting poisons that then fill the country's resevoirs, just in time to be pumped into the London Ring Main.
"Cobra, the government's emergency and crisis management committee, meeting today was said to be relieved that the threat to the nation more easily remedied than some external terrorist attack.
