  1. The block isn't just social housing. It is also made up of private homes which are sold or rented out by Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation. You can see online ads for rentals - they're pretty pricey. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the cosmetic refurbs were driven by market considerations.
  2. Pretending that in some way that people in London aren't angry over Grenfell Towers - Muddying matters by singling out the role of a handful of professional activists - Claiming that any discussion of the possible causes of the fire is politicising things - Keep up the good work, lads.
  3. The proud royalist you are, you'll be happy to know the ginger magician, the romford robot has an OBE, one rung up from Davo.
  4. Why does it need to make a difference? People are justified in expressing their feelings. And you don't need to be directly affected to feel sympathy, anger or solidarity. How utterly bizarre and warped to claim otherwise. I like to think the vast majority are sincere, though, of course, there will always be a few who are whipping up feelings for their own ends. Of course, it's equally despicable that some people are politicising matters by focusing on and exaggerating the role of those few c**ts and using it to cast aspersions on the legitimacy of the marches as a whole.
  5. A few as in a negligible number? Good lad Fwiw, I didn't see any from the footage of those storming Kensington town hall.
  6. How many socialist worker placards were there? You're obviously confident in your assertion, so I guess you know.
  7. You have an odd and rather disturbed view on the world. Are you claiming that many of people weren't genuinely angry or aggrieved but were looking for an excuse to kick off? Not sure how many BMEs (who made up the majority of the crowd) you know or live around. Guess not many as you pontificate from the provinces. But political interest and activism is generally very low among BMEs. Suspect having a pop against the Tories couldn't be further from their thoughts.
  8. It's really not that complicated, no more complicated than boiling an egg or making some toast. Fire in a social housing complex= want answers from relevant, identifiable authorities that have a statutory and common law duty to ensure the building's safety and maintenance. Terrorist attack by a small network of private individuals= who are you going to seek answers from?
  9. They also wanted a list of names of those living in the tower (not provided by the Council) - that information would appear less prone to error than revealing the names of those injured and suspected killed in the fire.
  10. No idea whether the proposed £5m fund is enough. But the protests weren't just about a potential aid package (at that time unforthcoming fwiw), so difficult to claim they were unwarranted. You seem to be as tone deaf as Theresa May.
  11. Some more detail https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/16/manufacturer-of-cladding-on-grenfell-tower-identified-as-omnis-exteriors?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
  12. Cant decide whether you're disgusted or titillated by all this.
  13. No pal it couldn't be further from the truth. Which managers have been hounded out? Recent managers have jumped ship - they haven't been pushed. And the last two mangers before Puel that were pushed provoked fan opposition. Other than that, your little manual is brimming with insight. File in the humour and jokes section
  14. Maybe . Maybe its blatant, shameless hypocrisy Balders. Contrary to the rubbish you read, the EU isn't some quasi-state, intruding on every aspect of our lives. National governments call the shots. Specifically it would appear you don't understand the basic functional division of labour between EU and national regulation. EU regulation is largely focussed on activity that has cross-border impacts. Building design and fire safety regulation is essentially local. Buildings don't travel. This is especially the case as issues such as building design (which in turn affects fire safety) touches on differences in culture, style and taste. No doubt you'd applaud this desire to respect national diversity. Btw where's this new-found interest in health and safety come from Balders? I thought health and safety was right up there with political correctness as a scourge on modern society for your sorts?
  15. Can't have it both ways, my sweet little Balders. There isn't a common regulatory framework on fire safety of buildings. Fire safety rules and building material standards are a matter for national authorities. Things you'd undoubtedly applaud as part of #takingbackcontrol (technically keeping control but that's moot). Had the shoe been on the other foot (before the tragedy), you'd have doubtless moaned about overweening, health and safety obsessed, sclerotic bureaucrats from Brussels.
  16. Seen much of him or his teams in action?
  17. Then back up what you're saying -or stop being a weasel cûnt.
  18. Agree, spoken like a true consultant.
  19. On that logic, so are they, pal.
  20. By contrast, I take it you believe unions being too weak is a problem. Also take it that you're against any concentration of power or monoploy. If so, surprised you're not speaking up against parts of the business community.
  21. And there are lots of people who also rated Mané yet don't think Redmond will hit the same heights as you. Your point being?
  22. The end result is right; but your diagnosis was basically wrong. Performances didn't really improve even when we had more continuity in the side. Might as well have tossed a coin Glasgow.
  23. Him for me please.
