This is how the Fire Commissioner spoke of her firefighters and we should all feel humble: Tom

'Danidl', you continue to surprise me by some of your offerings. As an Irishman, (you), I would have thought that you would know better than to imagine that a British government might be amenable to due process in any forum. Were the case otherwise, there would never have been any need for...

I don't think I need add anything to this video clip. Tom

This piece on the hugely unreliable BBC news web page certainly illustrates how this issue is undeniably political. There is simply no escaping the fact that people, even people totally unconnected with those who have perished or those who now suffer as a result of the inferno, see this matter...

To all those good people who seek to protect Theresa May and her right-wing extremist government from any form of criticism by extolling such platitudes as 'This matter shouldn't be politicised / not the time' etc, please get real. That very political party and their media organs have...

This was the scene in London last night. Are all these people wrong to demonstrate their anger on the streets of the capital? Should they all wait till a year, or two, or ten, has passed before passing comment on this murderous government? With thanks to AAV, Tom

As I was the OP on this thread, I really don't need your advice as to how or what I should contribute to the story. Your needless regurgitation of a previously made point just illustrates how you cannot accept that this tragedy was born out of political choices, systems, finances, lack of...

'Danidl', you have the same rather irritating habit as Henry Kissinger in that you portray a character wishing to appear neutral but in reality, you run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. Of course there is a political aspect to this tragedy - one only has to consider the cuts capitalist...

I think you and the others of similar opinion need to get yourselves down to North Ken and speak to those affected - I'm sure they will be absolutely delighted to hear your views on the PM and on all the other aspects of what they very much consider a political failure. Tom

Sprinklers, or their absence, represent one issue of importance. Another issue is that there is speculation that the insulating panels which contributed to the rapid spread of the fire were not fire-retardant. This, and I repeat the word, speculation, also indicates that there are two better...

I note that the queen managed to actually speak to some of those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy - if I were Theresa May, I'd be both embarrassed and ashamed. Tom

The government is political! Tom

Normally, I respect your views 'D8veh' on those matters to which you contribute with your wide breadth of knowledge. On this isssue, I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong. First of all, in my case, if the government can inflict their sordid agendas day in and day out via their media wing, then...

The PM needs to answer some serious questions concerning herself. This short list is just for starters and I'm sure I am not the only one who considers her performance in every aspect of her conduct in several matters simply inexcusable. Tom

Here is the difference between Jeremy Corbyn's and Theresa May's visits to Grenfell tower in two pictures. Those pictures depict the major difference between compassionate socialism and fascism. The former describes a political leader interacting with a member of the public whereas the latter...

Much as I'd like to see the present apology for a government unseated and replaced by a Labour-led administration, I really feel that the current news of the London fire disaster should remain a separate issue from my many criticisms contained in the 'Brexit' thread. One positive I have noted...

Here we have the present incumbent and her predecessor........surely the nation deserves better than these inadequates as PM! Tom

I can't criticise party politics OG as similar systems exist elsewhere and indeed, seem to operate advantageously in a democratic manner. What I do take exception to is an antiquated electoral system, inherently flawed in that it is gerrymandered in such a way as to satisfy the British...

This addition to the thread is tangential, rather than a direct comment on the material issue of 'Brexit' and I make no apology for that. Billy Bragg, writer, singer, socialist and political commentator has this to say at the moment and I very strongly agree with his opinion: Tom
