Although I'm becoming convinced there's a bit of attention-seeking, and instances of 'My fifteen minutes of fame' posturing going on here, it really is amazing how these heads of the public services - especially the police - can be guilty of the almightiest of incompetent eff-ups then think all they have to do is say 'Sorry', and it makes it alright. And as for: "Asked after the meeting about calls for her resignation, she told reporters: "I think it's quite understandable, as I said it comes down to a lack of trust, but I feel I'm stepping up to the challenge rather than stepping down and away from it." No missus, you're thinking about that great big fat cheque not going into your bank account every month!! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/leader-centre-grenfell-tower-inferno-10835777
What exactly are they guilty of? In this specific case, we’re talking about the leader who was appointed to replace the one who was just forced to resign so why all the calls for her to resign? Presumably if she did and yet another replacement came in, there’d be instant demands for them to resign too. Some people are apparently demanding all the elected councillors stand down, which would trigger a set of elections where I’d expect a number of them would simply be re-elected. Of course, all of that happens while at the same time people are demanding instance responses and results. I’ve all the sympathy for the victims of this tragedy but a lot of the knee-jerk responses are simply irrational and understandable irrationality is still irrational. We’d all love immediate resettlement for all of the victims and instant answers to all the questions the fire raised but that simply can’t happen. All the ranting, shouting and protesting can only serve to make those things harder and slower. I’ve zero sympathy for all the people who weren’t directly affected but who are using the tragedy to try to further their anti-authority, anti-government and general anti-“whatever you’ve got” attitudes without the slightest care for the negative impacts all this could be having on the victims.
There is a lot more than attention seeking going on and it is pretty clear what is going on. These people are being manipulated behind the scenes and I will bet pretty much everything I have that it is Momentum. Personally, I am getting a bit sick of them. They have all received cash, they have all received masses of support. They have all had offers of alternative housing. Now compare that with say those that lost their homes this week in Cornwall - many of who had not being able to get insurance - they get nil. I myself lost a house in a house fire that was fire bombed by thugs. I received a leaflet telling me which charities might have spare clothing and things - we were a family of 4 with 2 kids under 5.
Well that makes a change, you having 'sympathy for the victims'; usually your sympathy is reserved for the architects of their misery - which is why I don't interact with you any more. We always end up talking at cross purposes and it gets on my nerves.
