No Contact By May

[Bazile]

Should Theresa May have made an effort to meet some of the people affected by the disaster , on her visit to the scene ?

[HansUrbancka]

Keep up to Date :-
At present the Queen and Prince Phillip are visiting the site of the disaster and The Prime Minister is visiting injured persons in Hospital.

she should have done, no matter the security implications, she has made a very bad error here.

[anneasquith]

Not Prince Philip... Prince William.

[emmie]

according to latest news at least 30 dead, just awful..

//she should have done, no matter the security implications//

Security is not her choice.

What if someone had attacked her in anger? Emotions are running very high.

The end count will unfortunately be much higher and may take weeks to identify the small fragments left. Thats if they can make the building safe enough to go into. At some point it will probably have to come down.

[Zacs-Master]

'probably have to come down.' Ya don't say!! what an insightful comment.

Corbyn has done it and made the only sensible suggestion as to how the inevitable housing crisis can be helped!
For those who did not see it he has demanded that empty privately owned houses are compulsorily purchased and turned into accommodation for those residents who will be made homeless when the 100s of unsafe tower blocks in the UK have to demolished !
It has gone down very well with the victims he met , but I expect howls of protest on AB!

// What a contrast was Jeremy Corbyn’s visit, hugging and embracing victims, promising to guarantee that never happens. No one could have devised a better parable to convey the difference between the two parties than those two leaders’ visits. No doubt Grenfell residents would have shouted at the prime minister – but after her hermetically sealed election campaign, this confirms that a leader who dare never meet her people is truly done for. //

YMB....."What if someone had attacked her in anger? Emotions are running very high"

Didn't seem to have bothered anybody else who did turn up to visit.

[EDDIE51]

Didn't bother Corbyn who has scored yet another resounding moral victory over the Tories!

[mikey4444]

Eddie....May and the Tories have lost the plot, and are fast becoming the Nasty Party all over again.

///The homes of rich people in Kensington could be seized for Grenfell Tower residents made homeless by fire, Jeremy Corbyn said today.
He suggested that 'requisitioning' vacant properties would be a solution to the shortage of available accommodation for those displaced///.

There is no mention of compulsory purchase,

[Baldric]

How low can you sink, trying to score political points on the back of a tragedy?

[PankySmooch]

This sad tragic event has turned into a points scoring popularity event, the vulgar little mayor has even written an open letter to the PM.
If she spent hours talking to residents no doubt the anti Tory brigade would be moaning that she should be doing something else

[Mamyalynne]

I don't envy anyone be they Political, Dignitary or Royal in making the decisions on how to act in the light of this tragedy, especially when people are ready to take issue with whatever they choose.

Mikey, //Didn't seem to have bothered anybody else who did turn up to visit. //

The rest don't have the spite of hate-filled Socialists to contend with.

[mikey4444]

Eddie....it seems we have touched a raw nerve here today !

[naomi24]

Baldric, //There is no mention of compulsory purchase, //

Indeed there isn't - and Mikey calls the Conservatives the Nasty Party!

[naomi24]

Mikey, you've touched no raw nerves. The way you, your cohorts, and your political representatives are using this disaster to further your political ends is sickening.
