I don't understand why many of the families are refusing the temporary housing they are being offered. One family was on TV saying how unhappy they were in their hotel but had turned down the offer of a flat. Of course they are still shocked and coming to terms with things but I would have thought it would be easier to move on in a place of your own rather than a hotel.
The council should take over the land that has been banked and build houses on it for Grenfell residents.
Oliver Letwin has been put in charge of a committee to look into landbanking, despite having been paid money by a building company that landbanks. More sleaze.
can someone tell me WHY the tories were voted in ? Please. They are the most incompetent government in decades ,they are uncaring to the point where its almost criminal ...it is in some eyes.Maybe they could find space in Buck house or Kensington Palace for some of these poor folk who have suffered so much and are being ignored AGAIN .Or ask the councillors who think Grenfell is no longer relevant to vacate THEIR homes over christmas .I am ashamed to be linked to a country that thinks this treatment of people is acceptable
I was rather irritated by a woman who said she had turned down a flat because it only had two bedrooms and her grandson lived with her, she also said the toilet wasn't suitable for an elderly woman or a twelve year old boy. Left me wondering what sort of toilet was in the flat.
Anniebach I have checked through most of these posts and there is no evidence of * benefit dependant immigrants in danger of ethnic cleansing pushed into unfit accommodation claims.* by anyone at all. Baggs did refer to there perhaps being a class basis for appointing people to the inquiry problem, but nothing else. This idea that there is some sort of conspiracy to identify the residents of Grenfell as immigrants, asylum seekers and benefit seekers is purely a product of your imagination. It does of course also fit very well in with all the dismissive posts you have made denigrating both the Grenfell residents and their opinions. It's psychological projection.
Completely different, Annie. I never dismissed what the residents said in that; I supported them, wanting an ethnically diverse panel. That's not ethnic cleansing. What planet are you on?
You are keeping the disagreement going, and making yourself look foolish.
I challenge you to find one post of mine that dismisses what the residents say.
Show me which ones, Annie, because I can't find any where I have dismissed what the residents have said, just as I can't find any vox political links on here. I have put links on to what the residents have said.
You are making things up again to suit your political agenda.
I don't read your links Jen, you have dismissed what residents in the flats said because it does not fit your benefit dependant immigrants in danger of ethnic cleansing pushed into unfit accommodation claims.
I've only checked back to page 15 and there is not one vox political link on it. You are showing yourself up again, Annie. Lots of links to 24housing. I assume you will allow that they know what they are talking about. By the way, I gave a link to that interview you were talking about. I don't expect you to acknowledge that, though.
Annie, you paint a picture, I don't. I give facts, and links to people who care about the tenants who survived the Grenfell fire. I don't spend time trying to score points off someone else. It's becoming quite pathetic now.
which the tenants? The ones in your fantasy , the immigrants dependant on benefits who have been housed together in a slum or the tenants whom are of different nationalities, some who have lived in their flats for over twenty years, those in employment, those paying £400 pw rent ? Not the picture you have been painting is it Dj?
