I don’t know if you’ve seen George Clarke’s interview the following day on his views about the cladding and what he saw that night, but it’s pretty damming.

I’ve just seen his (extremely emotional) interview on channel 4 news, that he managed to hold it together and put his excellent points across so clearly showed a fortitude far beyond our PM.

On a personal level this is absolutely heartbreaking, but my overwhelming feeling is anger about this. The failings in this building by Kensington and Chelsea Council are an absolute discrace, blocks of flats don’t go up like that - fires are usually contained to one apartment or at worst one or two floors. This…

Thanks, but I was responding to the sentiment of cocopops reply rather than that of the article, so no fify necessary. Good to know my thoughts can be edited by some rando though.

It’s getting very tiring to see how easy it is to whip up a frenzy. It’s like everyone is so tightly wound that it takes one throw away comment and all hell brakes loose.

Yes...

Haha, definitely a sugar high! I would’ve certainly got into trouble if my mum found these loose in my bag when I was a kid!

This is very true, a lot of responses to ‘Omg, really?! Lol!’ seems to be ‘CHILL THE FUCK OUT YOU SJW SNOWFLAKE!’

I love this!

I’m sure they still taste of skittles, but now they look like ibuprofen

I always thought Christine was the only good thing going for him on the decent person front, now he doesn’t have that and I can revert to thinking he’s a prat.

Oh Jeez, I hadn’t even considered the political impact yet. It almost seems cold to in light of such horror, but you’re right; this plays into the hands of the hard right (which I firmly believe many of the Tories are)

Thank you for this much needed laugh in an otherwise hideous story

Stillborn puppies? Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, what the fuck?

Yes; who the fuck flushes a condom?! Does there have to be a PSA about this, are people really that stupid?

You’ve expressed what I was thinking far more succinctly than I could have; I had a rage stroke reading this. How telling that he omitted the fucking holocaust from his recollection.

Kinda seems less funny when you put it like that... But thanks for the clarification

Pepsi: The only drink bartenders apologise for as they serve it to you.

Urgh, they’d fucking LOVE that name; they’d think it gives them some sort of mystique like they’re anarchists, crusading against injustice.

Some commenters always come off as a little sour, I usually charitably* put it down to something being lost in translation over the pond - perhaps the way we phrase things reads differently to its intention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I think you’re spot on about UK politics (even though I still hate the Tories!)
