People see a c**t on a train but they dont bother with the amount of people who give seats to old folk, or help someone off with their bags. If we only look for negatives, thats all we see I do try and see the good I really do. I'd love to live in a society where everyone is bending over backwards to help out people in need and people were all equal. Sadly that belongs in fantasy films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Know what gets me ? The reaction of the khunts in the right-wing press. They've been bleating on for years about the 'elf and safety' regulations 'imposed' on us by the evil EU. It was part of the 'we must take back control' mantra that appealed to braindead fuckwits during the referendum. However, this disaster proves that the UK's 'elf and safety' regulations...in this case....completely failed, and now obviously need tightened up. Not for PC reasons. Not to please tree huggers. Not because of foreign judges. Not because of the EU. But because these 'elf and safety' regulations, actually save lives. f**k you, the Daily Mail, the Express, The Telegraph, and all the rest of you bigoted kh*nts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A staunch labour ward with the blocks renovated under the Labour government. Austerity is shite and the tories are arseholes but theyre not to blame for this. Their reaction was shite and cowardly though Were the Camden flats re-clad before or after the release of the report about the 2009 fire? There's a big difference fitting dangerous cladding through ignorance rather than fitting it to save cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm obviously upset people have lost their lives, but in some way am glad this is a clear, visual and wide ranging disaster that has drawn attention to the fact the government don't give a shit about poor people Do you really think it'll make a difference? Politicians are slimy arseholes who'll try and worm their way out of this, and the public are on the whole, stupid, forgetful c***s who will forget about this the next time the Daily Star prints a front page about deadly foreign spiders going on the rampage.Nothing will change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assuming they were clad prior to 2009.) ETA: Just read WhiskyChimp's post about that fire having nothing to do with the cladding.

Priorities, eh. AJ probably has a civil partnership with Enzo. AJ, who moved into his £2,500-per-month one bedroom flat less than two months ago, said he was neutral about the plan. “I’m Switzerland,” he announced while walking Enzo, his chow chow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorities, eh. So from a area that voted to remain in the EU and voted in a Corbyn led Labour party. So that everyone can see how progressive and liberal they are whilst munching on canapes at Oliver's and Jemima's party. Suddenly it's turned to being unfair that poor brown skinned people will be right on their doorstep. They probably bought the charity song. They've suffered enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
