Towering Inferno!

[Deleted]

The whole Grenfell Tower thing's got loads of baggage attached. So many so-called 'persona non grata' living in such an expensive area you and I couldn't afford. How? What? Which regular British citizens are involved?

Mawkfest 2018 has kicked off with a 72 second silence and a eulogy to an unborn child.

I'm very sorry for the loss of life and I wish everyone well, but this political theatre has no place in a public enquiry. None. Just the facts, please.

[hammerhead]

Agreed, as the chap in charge said - "The inquiry process is not adversarial, it's not to punish anyone or award compensation. It's simply to get to the truth."

Sympathy for sure, but the inquiry is about what happened, how it happened and hopefully to prevent it in future.

The truth is a colonialist, patriarchal, hetero-normative construct. The inquiry should concern itself with satisfying the feelings of various activists and the Guardian.

.

Bizarre, I wonder how many strangers grieving for an unborn baby are Pro Choice types?

[flatandy]

I was wondering the same, Rev. Mourning the unborn is one of those f**k*d up behaviours of the anti-women lobby in the US.

Grenfel is having a huge “knock on effect” on the building and letting trades.


Sadly, you’ll never find out what or who was directly responsible.

[perrykneeham]

I'm not so sure. I think we already know that. Fuckall will happen to 'em mind.

Building Control have become much, much less matey these days. They also have a good claim to say "there, I told you so."

You hear almost nothing about the origin of the fire.

Didn't someone's fridge catch alight or summat? The bloke ran out saying his fridge was on fire. Always sounded dodgy to me. I reckon it was arson directed at the immie residents. But I'm a cynical bastard.

That was going around at the time. No idea if it actually happened or was just a rumour though. Still, you'd hope at least the fire brigade would be interested in investigating how it actually started.

Interesting coverage of the Manchester terrorist bomb attack anniversary on Today ....everyone that is interviewed is full of grief and regret , but I it very odd the so called bbc can find lots and lots of angry grenfell voices, whenever they are featured ,but cant find a single angry hateful voice from the concert slaughter...

[mids]

Surprised the BBC even mentioned it. Still, "all part and parcel of living in a big city".

[perrykneeham]

Fuckme! What a load of watery dogshit.

Ariana Grande, would though.

[hammerhead]

Maybe you didn't notice time passing mate, but we're like twice her age.

Would too though, of course.

Looks good for 30

[hammerhead]

Fair point, I was encompassing an age group based on a guess.

[mids]

Still would, though.

[hammerhead]

She is quite beautiful.
