Trying to make a political point when the dead haven't even been counted.

There has been no investigation yet, nobody knows why it started, why it spread the way it did.

The cost of refurbing that building was £8.7 million.

He's vile.

He looks like a political version of an ambulance chaser - except trying to increase popularity rather than increasing profit.

There seems to be a growing anger as to why our Prime Minister hasn't met with the survivors, residents and volunteers.

Table 5.1 Average first appliance attendance time shows average time in 2010 was 5:30, in 2015 it was 5:38 (Kensington & Chelsea was 4:36 in 2010, 4:44 in 2015).

Makes you wonder where all this spare [local] housing has appeared from.

Yes, I'm sure thats top of the list of things those people are angry about.

More likely just people trying to stir up anti government (or anti Tory) nonsense.

She just doesn't have the common touch, or has Asperger's (which would explain a lot)

Theresa May has visited the scene of the Grenfell Tower blaze where at least 17 people died.

The Prime Minister carried out a private visit of the scene and spoke with emergency service crews but reportedly refused to meet any survivors of the tragedy and blocked media access.

The decision was taken due to "security reasons", it was claimed, but local residents were furious that she did not stop to listen to their concerns.

There's a lot of people offering accommodation or hotel rooms for free to the victims, times like this the best side of human nature come out, I heard one woman say she had 21 studio flats they were welcome to use and another offer her flat in Hackney.

Apparently there's 2000 empty flats and houses in the area. I don't think it nonsense either for the residents to be angry about the pm coming to visit and not meeting a single victim of it

1. Ignore the emotional opening statement.

2. You've offered nothing in relation to this incident, because you can't, because WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED YET

Let me know if you need it explaining.

If you google Theresa May and aspbergers it links to the autism forum, people there speculate she has it, doesn't mean she does of course, just that Mr K isn't the only one who has thought it.

It's not just me that'll need it explaining to, there's a hell of a lot of people demanding answers

They're just lucky you're here to explain it to them to

I can't explain anything because:

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED YET

Let me know if I can explain further, you know, for the hard of thinking.

My stepson has it he was 14 when they finally diagnosed him with it Now 23. She hasn't got it and I am sure it would be common knowledge if she had it's hard to hide. However I think this going around the internet will be just the typical Looney lefty tripe that seems to float about these days.
