Grenfell Tower fire in North Kensington - news and discussion

[bimble]

One of the chants yesterday 'shame on you teresa may'. She is hated, hard.

 

[frogwoman]

this interview is a car crash.

 

[frogwoman]

'maybot malfunction' is right

 

[Cid]

S is for strong and stable, T is for terrible tragedy...

 

[sleaterkinney]

Fuck me she's all kinds of useless isn't she?

Theresa May branded 'inhuman' after Newsnight interview about Grenfell Tower fire

No apology.

One of my uncles became a senior fire officer. At the beginning of his career he went into a burning house to try to save a child, against orders, because he couldn't stand to hear the screams. He's been retired for 10+ years and still has nightmares over this child. How much worse must it be for these men and women going into Grenfell? I hope that they get the mental health care that they will need. And not just the fire crews, but the ambulance and police who attended. Unfortunately I suspect that, because of reductions in NHS funding, they'll be forced to live with their nightmares

My only hope is that this is the start of the destruction of the Tory party as it stands.

I heard an FBU rep on site saying they were good as far as that provision goes and people would get what they needed.

From the very little I know about the FBU is good at supporting the members, so I hope this is true.

when I saw the footage of her doing a comedy sly exit from the church side entrance followed by jeers of 'coward' I had to pinch myself and remember that 4 weeks ago this woman was untouchable

 

[Doctor Carrot]

I've just seen May's interview on Newsnight. This is just fucking outrageous, I'm so fucking angry at this when I think of all the threads that connect to it and the absolute failure of the response from government. Wtf have we become? Really, it is disgraceful, disgusting and shameful that this has happened.

[dessiato]

This incapability of May to understand and respond appropriately here makes me afraid for such an incompetent running the Brexit discussions. But that's not for this thread.

Negotiations start on Monday.

Frightening isn't it?

 

[eatmorecheese]

Jesus Christ.

Now I'm in bits again

A friend of mine who's a London firefighter and was at Grenfell has been sharing a link to the Firefighters Charity if anyone wants to donate.

 

[Wilf]

What's that line about 'all political careers end in failure'. Well, hopefully, hers will end in nationwide contempt. She was actually quite 'together' in that interview, wasn't a meltdown of any sort. She actually planned to respond to questions like that. Cunt.

 

[mauvais]

She appears to be literally incapable of doing anything but acknowledging the plainly visible.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Boris Johnson's sister just on LBC stating that May is also a victim of the fire.

WtAf??

Boris Johnson's sister just on LBC stating that May is also a victim of the fire.

WtAf??

And my level of anger reaches a new peak.

 

[Nylock]

It's not like those cunts closing ranks was entirely unexpected...

 

[teqniq]

Boris Johnson's sister just on LBC stating that May is also a victim of the fire.

WtAf??

What kind of mental gymnastics were involved in that pronouncement?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

And my level of anger reaches a new peak.

I know, nearly crashed my car listening to that shit.

 

[Nylock]

Saying crass and stupid shit is clearly hardwired into the Johnson family DNA

 

[bimble]

my god the interview. She's a broken machine.

 

[bi0boy]

my god the interview. She's a broken machine.

She did that all through the election campaign too. Is there any video evidence she can have a normal conversation?

 

[scifisam]

Boris Johnson's sister just on LBC stating that May is also a victim of the fire.

WtAf??

Well, hopefully May will soon be losing one of her homes.

Of course then she'll get a much heftier resettlement package than any of the actual surviving victims will.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Boris Johnson's sister just on LBC stating that May is also a victim of the fire.

WtAf??

Are these people actively trying to court a lynching?

 

[Who PhD]

Damian Green thinks people have been 'terribly unfair' to mumsy.

Extraordinary.

I expect they are waiting for the anger to die down and dissipate before continuing to not listen to poor people

 

[Pickman's model]

Well, hopefully May will soon be losing one of her homes.

Of course then she'll get a much heftier resettlement package than any of the actual surviving victims will.

2 of her homes, chequers...

 

[DotCommunist]

you know what these cunts are saying between themselves in private as well, the shit they haven't printed.

What's that line about 'all political careers end in failure'.

enoch. Should be followed by 'but some failures are more ignominious than others'
