By | Sun 14th June 2020 - 8:01 pm

    Another example of why “Black Lives Matter”..

    Does anyone seriously believe that, had Grenfell been a luxury apartment block, the moral prevarication and lack of action would have occurred?

    It should not have ever had the need of fine people like this doing this, the thing should have been solved imediately.

    Many councils are Conservative, many Labour.

    The govt should have given millions to councils to purchase houses or flats or join with landlords to move people.

    It could have been done in months, and would have been by an FDR type.

    Utterly appalling.
