    People voted Tory not to defeat the left, but because they think the victims of the Grenfell fire deserved to die and they loved it.

    We've been giving up nations to Russia right and left. Greatest gains for them since the end of WWII

    If we would get a premium in cuts to defense spending I'd be all for it, but Trump just increased it. Apparently the defense contractors are getting tired of giving us even the illusion of getting something for our money

    Tories hate foreigners and JRM says the Grenfell victims deserved it. Do keep up.

    Oh look, another Progressive attacking a Conservative based on his looks, identity, political ideology, weight and even sex.

    You guys are just such nice, accepting human beings!

    (In before you say - "But Drumpf is less accepting than me and here is an example to show how!")

    You guys are insanely hateful, that is why you are losing all over the world.

    Good riddance

    Good timing! Yet ANOTHER Progressive trying to demonize his opponents with insanity based on "their truth"

    Progressives are full of it, they avoid telling the truth at all costs and change history and even the definition of words to twist into their hateful, bigoted ideology.

    The world see's how hateful you are towards anyone you disagree with, the world is pushing back.

    This is only the beginning...

    Indeed it is only the beginning. Jacob Rees Mogg blaming the victims of that terrible fire was helpful actually, it confirmed one enemy at least, you taking his side confirms another.

    Disagreeing with you does not make anyone your enemy, that is fascist thinking. I'm still waiting for you to give me the link and we're all waiting for you to answer my questions?

    What questions?
    I know that disagreeing with me does not make someone my enemy, but Jacob Rees Mogg saying what he did publically does.

    He essentially said the Grenfell fire victims brought their own deaths on themselves for lacking common sense.

    Here is the link.

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...d-common-sense-jacob-rees-mogg-suggests-video

    Some would say it is fake news, but is is crystal clear here. May I add that the Grenfell victims called the emergency services and were told to stay put. Rees Mogg is speaking not in quick reaction to events but ages afterwards when there had been a chance to think about things.
    He is a senior politician and has no excuse, but helpfully he is a window into the mindset of the right.
    Those with that kind of mindset are enemies of mine.

    Big deal, all he said was they lacked common sense, not that he was rejoicing in their deaths.

    The fact you dismiss this with a 'big deal' tells me about your mindset.

    The ability to get those things for yourself is most important. And I'm right.

    Isn't an American maker of siding being held liable for manufacturing the highly flammable siding that was on Grenfell Towers??

    Sure does, I believe in fairness and reality. You should try it.

    Nah. You ally yourself axiomatically with a person who dismissed the deaths of all those people in Grenfell tower with a 'big deal' comment.
    Your kind of evil reality is something to oppose as best as possible, as for fairness, go on then, act on it rather than using empty words.

    There will be plenty who, when hearing about the cladding problems, will roll their eyes and say 'big deal'.
