Grenfell Tower – Incendiary Opinion
Posted on Wednesday 5 July 2017 by Rob Godfrey

The Monbat published a good piece in today’s Guardian, in which he 
reveals some of the corruption and immorality that’s at the core of the 
Grenfell Tower tragedy:

    A public inquiry where the government chooses charges, judge and 
jury puts the bonfire of regulations outside the frame. An independent 
commission is needed

Gatekeeper George seems to be gaining a conscience, as does the CIAdian, 
although methinks they are just trying to assuage public opinion about 
the Grenfell Tower tragedy, public opinion that could explode at any 
moment, because the tragedy embodies everything that’s wrong and rotten 
about neo-conservatism and 21st century Britain. The anger on the 
streets has been nicely summed-up by a young rapper called ‘Potent 
Whisper’ (aka Georgie Stephanou) with a piece called Grenfell Britain…

If you want to drill down deeper into what actually happened at Grenfell 
Tower, and how many people are dead, and the corruption, etc, I can 
highly recommend last weekend’s Sunday Wire podcast. The original 
podcast is three hours long, and the Grenfell Tower stuff is 
interspersed with long segments about what’s going on in the Middle 
East, so I’ve edited it into a shorter piece entirely about Grenfell 
Tower. As if the editing wasn’t enough, I’ve had mega problems uploading 
this and making it available on various video sharing sites; but I’ll 
get into all that another time…

The original three hour long Sunday Wire podcast can be found here (the 
segments about the Middle East are also well worth a listen).
