No London Fire Thread?

(Off topic for a moment - sorry)

@ Wutang - absolutely no need to reply, but I hope you saw my post to you on Page 15 of the Finsbury Park thread.

You are aware that the survivors of Grenwell was woefully let down in terms of support and help from the authorities? that part of the anger from them is how they were essentially ignored by those entrusted with taking charge in these operations?

Maybe had Theresa May made more of an effort to go down there and actually, y'know, act like a leader she may have seen first hand the shambolic state of affairs and could have used some of her power as the Prime Minister to order government bodies to get their fingers out their arses.

But these people werent 'movers or shakers' (to borrow Vam's phrase) so their concerns were not priority to May. Had the tower block housed a lot of rich & influential people she would still be there on the ground personally hand-feeding every survivor.

Why would Theresa may actually need to GO there in order to, y'know, act like a leader and use her power as Prime Minister to order government bodies to get their fingers out of their arses?
There are these things called telephones which can be used to issue instructions to subordinates when required.
The only purpose served by visiting Grenfell Tower would be for the sake of publicity.
And, let's face it, if she DID go there, people like you would only accuse her of seeking publicity by doing so.

Seriously, what's the alternative?
Do you think Theresa May is sitting in her office, looking at reports of the situation at Grenfell, rubbing her hands together in glee, twirling her mustache and muttering "Muhaha! Fuck the poor!!!" to herself?

To properly access the situation, to speak with and listen to the concerns of the survivors - i.e get first hand knowledge from the actual people effected off what needs to be done.

Also the same things could be said regarding Tory donors:

why does she actually have to attend their parties and hobnob with them? funny how she makes the effort to see and speak to those people..

Wouldn't care unless she did something like, I dont know, go there and avoid the actual survivors

The point about her avoiding the area, along with the actions of the local authorities, is to show how people like her despise working class people. her attitude towards rich and influential people is different as shown by her dedication to their beck and call.

The government has bought dozens of homes in a luxury development in Kensington to house families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

The market value of homes at the Kensington Row development, just off High Street Kensington, starts at £1.6m, with prices rising to £3.5m.

Some 68 of the 110 families displaced by the blaze will be housed in the luxury development, the Department for Local Government (DCLG) said.

St Edward, the housebuilder behind the scheme, has drafted in extra construction workers to get the homes ready by the end of July. DCLG said it had also provided extra cash to fit out the flats to ensure they were ready for people to move into.

Facilities at the block include a gym, a spa and an indoor cinema, as well as a 24-hour concierge, although it is not known whether the families will have access to those facilities.

So will this now be considered council stock, what about right to buy?

So were press invited to the PM's publicity stunt?

Yep.

Of course, when you're just a fucking thick cunt who indulges in demagoguery, I'm sure that's an easy concept to miss.

So, when the PM doesn't appear in front of the cameras she's accused of "hiding" and when she does appear in front of the cameras she's accused of seeking publicity?

Simple fact is that there are a whole shit-pile of people who should be responsible for sorting out any problems caused by the Grenfell Tower fire.

It's fucking retarded to criticise the PM for spending time doing stuff other than micro-managing a single situation.

What's more, it absolutely reeks of desperate, petty mud-slinging.

Well you would know about petty mud singing, you chucked enough at Corbyn for no valid reason for ages, like the Labour supporter you reckon you are.

That's cos I happen to think the fella is a useless throwback to an era of militancy, where Labour were a fucking joke, who's never held a real job in his life and seems willing to kiss the arse of any fucker who's willing to take him seriously.

And it looks as though, even though the entire country is more pissed-off with the tories than they've been in years, there still weren't enough people who thought differently to get him the first proper job of his miserable fucking life.

You might want to ask yourself why that is.

Got to say, for someone so useless and ineffective Corbyn does a splendid job of pissing your kind off.

Perhaps because you need career politicians in positions of power?

Don't get me wrong because one of our guys got in for Labour in Scotland but I'd hardly call him leadership worthy, whereas Corbyn has made politics his life as have many past leaders of our major parties.

The no job idiom is a bit tired.

Grenfell Tower: 16 council inspections failed to stop use of flammable cladding

Grenfell Tower renovation works were inspected 16 times by Kensington and Chelsea council, but these failed to prevent the use of the flammable cladding that is being blamed for spreading the deadly fire that killed at least 79 people.

Inspections were spread over almost two years during the £10m refurbishment project between 2014 and 2016, but these appear not to have spotted that the building was being clad in a material banned on tall buildings by the government.

Well done Tories.
