Three large billboards demanding justice following the Grenfell Tower fire have been driven through London by campaigners.
Group Justice 4 Grenfell hired three vans with adverts which read: “71 dead. And still no arrests? How come?”
Because the investigation is ongoing, you morons.
Yvette Williams, one of the organisers, said there were fears the tragedy was “ebbing out of public consciousness”.
As happens. When the investigation is complete, there may well be arrests and prosecutions, at which time it will be in the news again. In the meantime, pointless posturing such as this merely serves to irritate and undermines any sympathy for the victims. The SJW milking of this one certainly irritates me.
“We felt that it was really powerful. Over the last few weeks we felt what happened is ebbing out of the public consciousness and people are becoming desensitised.”
It wasn’t powerful, it was tedious, facile and derivative, lacking any imagination whatsoever. It was neither clever nor witty and given that Grenfell has been rammed down our throats as some sort of Tory plot for the past eight months the idea that it is actually going out of public consciousness is nonsense. Idiots such as you won’t let it and in so doing you are, indeed, desensitising us. Fuck off with your billboards.
Grenfell suggested that there a lot of people of ‘undocumented’ status in rented accomodation.
I presume all landlords, public and private, have sorted this out by now?
I really look forward to the day when SJW is added to the list of endangered species. Until then, I would really be happy if they would just piss off with their patronising hectoring.
What with this AND Peter Rabbit it’s been a wow of an end to the week. I love watching SJWs self parodying. I am, however, beginning to hear the sound of distant gunfire.
I’m a little torn on this. On one hand I agree – yes a proper investigation has to be conducted, but on the other hand we are now 8 months on from Grenfell and there’s hardly a whisper of when it will be completed. I’m sure I read somewhere it might even be 2019 before any charges are laid. That is absolutely fucking disgraceful and it’s not good enough.
Secondly, there is a valid point to be made that whilst our plump, wealthy Parliamentarians bicker about whether to flourish £4bn-£5bn on refurbishing the Palaces of Westminster for thier own benefit, there are still hundreds of Grenfell survivors living in temporary accomodation. Somehow I find that irony difficult to defend.
And yes it was a cheap shot (if actually a clever idea to prod them with the billboards) but what else do Politicians and Police Chiefs understand better than public ridicule (just like in the movie eh?)… waiting for either group to do the right thing so far has resulted in less than fuck all being achieved for the dead and the survivors of Grenfell.
But WHY are ‘hundreds of Grenfell survivors living in temporary accomodation’ …? Is it because it hasn’t been offered?
The answer by the way, is ‘No’.

They’ve all been offered new flats, but prefer to stay in hotel where they have no bills, council tax etc to pay. Plus BBC/C4 will pay them for an interview reciting SJW agenda.

Grow up and face facts & reality.
I’m not remotely torn and I have no sympathy here. For once, I am with the police. This case is much like Hatfield where they have to demonstrate criminal negligence that links directly from high level decision makers to failures on the ground. Hatfield took around two years and still failed in the courts precisely because they couldn’t demonstrate that link.
There will be hundreds of emails, documents and so on to sift through and witnesses to interview. It takes time if they are to produce enough evidence for a successful prosecution. And until they have that evidence, they will quite rightly, not be making any arrests. Eight months is nothing, frankly in a complex investigation. The publicity stunt was cheap posturing and I have no time for such behaviour. It might make an entertaining film, but this is real life. It works differently in real life. Frankly, if their PR people can only come up with ripping off a film, they need to find a new PR firm.
In the meantime, we have an expensive inquiry going on. Shall we wait and see what they have to say?
It might be a valid point in its own right, but I’m not sure it really demonstrates anything here, though. Also see Julia’s point at 06:00.
Yvette Williams? Isn’t that the black Trotskyite rabble rouser who tried to create a riot amongst the genuinely concerned former residents of Grenfell Tower at the Council Offices the day after it happened?
What more needs to be said? She doesn’t give a flying wotsit for the residents of Grenfell Tower except how it promotes her own platform within the far-left and the rest of the perpetually-offended.
“Justice 4 Grenfell” – translation: Blame it all on the evil heartless Tories who are intent on eradicating angelic immigrants and hoi-polloi (unless said plebs are Jewish or working white, then it’s Labour’s job to eradicate them).
