I think we have a measure of you, Sarah.

“...sickening for many Britons...”

They’re not “private houses.” They’re empty. He’s talking about using unoccupied buildings to temporarily accommodate people made homeless by an avoidable tragedy.

Haha, they don’t need to be heard. That is the dumbest, most hateful fucking stick of shit I’ve ever seen. And I’m sure it sums up your risible political philosophy perfectly. You’re the classic example of the person who says, “Don’t politicize this tragedy while it’s fresh in anyone’s mind. Wait until they forget…

you are despicable. i have just come from the protest tonight in kensington. this tragedy IS political. the residents i heard speak tonight know who is responsible for this sickening crime and believe me, as another said before me, theresa may (maybe learn how to spell her name if you love her so much?) needs no help…

Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree there. Given the role of wealth concentration, the scarcity of affordable housing, exploitation of lower by upper classes, and austerity and all its associated corner-cutting in fostering this horrible tragedy, it seems like the exact right time to be bringing this topic into the…

The insulation between the cladding and the original surface. And yes, it was cosmetic.

Class-baiting? The tax-dodging oligarchs who launder their money through empty expensive properties while hundreds of people are homeless because of a caused-by-deliberate-political-neglect inferno should replace the bears in bear-baiting.

If it gets people talking about the problem of the ultra-rich holding multiple residential properties where they don’t even live, driving up costs and housing prices in a city that’s increasingly unaffordable for the bulk of its residents, and draws attention to the absurdity and cruelty of austerity politics that…

You disgust me.

In contrast, Lord Mayor Sadiq Khan showed up the next day and stood in front of a crowd of people hurling insults and boos and complaints at him. But he didn’t run away, he stood there only a foot away and took it. Probably because he understands that these people need an outlet for their grief and anger.

Last time you checked, maybe. But, with a little luck and a lot of brain power at work, maybe next time you check it won’t be legal anymore. It’s civically despicable and should not be permitted in urban areas at all. Tax the living shit out of anybody who ties up all these properties and doesn’t do a single fucking…

The Queen is NINETY and she went to do her duty. No whining, no bitching. I know there’s good arguments to be made about the monarchy and its cost to British taxpayers but nobody can say the Queen has fallen down on her job.

You’re an imbecile is what you are. He’s the leader of the Labour Party and the Tory leader won’t meet with the residents and survivors. They need to be heard and May doesn’t want to hear what they have to say. It’s his political and moral obligation to go there. It’s a very lucky thing you’re not a political leader.…

It’s sickening for people who aren’t affected by it. My mother grew up in a council house and my nan got moved into a tower block, just like Grenfell. No one is advocating that they force people, who live there, out of their homes. But the second or third or fourth homes of billionaires, who don’t pay tax, shouldn’t…

I genuinely don’t see how Theresa May can hang on as PM for much longer. Her approval rating was already below Trump’s before this happened and at this point I don’t think there can be anyone left in the country who doesn’t loathe her.

He’s actually listening to their concerns, that’s more than we can say for May and her brand new advisor who is responsible for cheaping out on the cladding. And I can’t say I’m terribly upset if a Russian oligarch loses one of his ten homes so people can have a roof over their heads.

His plan wasn’t to ‘repossess’ the houses of the rich, contrary to the Sun front page. He offered as an idea that if other housing in the borough wasn’t made available (in order to try and keep residents in familiar surroundings rather than being farmed out across the city or further), one option could be to use empty…

It’s a good idea. It’s a good idea to do the same thing in Midtown NYC. People own these places and don’t live in them, that shouldn’t be permitted in places like London and New York. You want to own it? Live there or rent it out to a full-time resident. Or pay 25% of the purchase price every year as a tax.

I hope everyone reads the piece in the Guardian by David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham. His wife was a friend of Khadija Saye and he makes a number of important points as to how this is corporate manslaughter and people need to be charged and held responsible for their actions.
