May has ordered a full public inquiry into the tower disaster. Which, good, but not like she could avoid doing so if she'd wanted to anyway.

JosefStalinator posted:Gotcha. So she could give the speech even if negotiations are ongoing/not going well on the 21st, and gets a week to have the DUP vote with the Tories on the speech, and if they don't, new election. Nobody in their right mind would go into power with the Tories even in a confidence and supply agreement. Its why the DUP are making outlandish demands as they know if they do any kind of deal with the Tories they are going to be annihilated when Brexit goes bad.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Is Theresa May autistic? Maybe not, but Gordon Brown apparently is, according to a relative of a friend. Puts some of the poo poo that got thrown his way in 2010 into a quite different light. Dude also apparently lives quite modestly now, and donates most of his money to charity.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Is Theresa May autistic? I'm no expert, but I gather that contrary to popular belief autistic people are in fact very capable of feeling empathy, just not good at expressing it and getting it from other people's facial expressions. The question you should really ask is, does Theresa May just plain not give much of a poo poo about the poor, to which I believe the answer is obvious.

May either has a phobia of the general public or her media advisers have determined that the catastrophic fallout from her demonstrating *yet again* that she won't meet ordinary people is less than her actually meeting ordinary people. I mean all Corbyn does is show up and talk to people, something he would do anyway, and he looks amazing.

Jose posted:i think the fire would have had a substantial impact on how people voted had it occurred before the election This. A tower block full of working class people just burned down with unknown loss of life because a bunch of Tory voting rich cunts didn't want their view spoiled. Said rich cunts got the Tory landlords to petition the Tory council to approve dangerous plans that were implemented by a cowboy company who even if they didn't slip a brown envelope under the table, cared more about their shareholders than the dead. The Tory landlords then for years repeatedly ignored warnings from their tenants that said plans put them massively at risk of exactly the disaster that happened. Kensington and Chelsea is never going Tory again.

I guarantee that when May heard "some people have been killed in a big fire in Kensington" her first response was along the lines of "were any of them our donors?"

Xaerael posted:On the topic of capability for work assessment, some years ago I managed to tear my TFCC, resulting in needing painkillers so strong that I barely knew what day it was, and my doctor saying strictly "DO NOT WORK OR USE THAT HAND HOLY gently caress GIVE IT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS HEALING AGGRAVATING IT COULD TURN IT INTO A COMPLETE SEVER AND YOU COULD LOSE THE USE OF YOUR RIGHT HAND (also, you shouldn't work while being hopped up on these painkillers anyway)". I find that completely baffling, like I literally don't understand how this can happen in a modern country. In Belgium, where I live now, the doctor has the final word, period. I have a colleague who has been sick since january 2016, we're not really aware of what she has or if she's ever coming back, but a doctor affirms every 3 months that she has a valid reason for not working and so be it. She receives 80% of her wage every month. If we thought something dodgy was going on we could ask for another doctor to go check up on her but that's it. I'm assuming she's depressed or burnt-out, but none of us have any idea and that is just fine, it's none of our business anyway. What is annoying is that we are (because of our internal policy) unable to replace her until we can confirm she's never coming back, which means her colleagues just have to fill in for her.

If the rumours are right that the final toll will be in three digits, as far as I can tell it would make this the worst fire in Britain in 130 years. In 1887 a fire in a theatre in Exeter killed 186 people

Another Belgian refugee in the UKMT  Yeah, when my girlfriend had a complete burnout she went to the GP, got a referral to a specialist that she saw the same week who then gave her 2 months leave. The office never complained, never inspected and never made a fuss, even though her boss was a complete monster.

I'm very glad May is staying on. I think the tories hope they can minimise the damage by getting her to do all the loving up but they have absolutely no-one waiting in the wings. I dunno if other people saw Ed Balls basically goading Osborne to rejoin the fray during election night? He's probably their best bet and I still think he'd get annihilated, the media class would assume he would win because he is a Serious Person but I don't think there is a single Tory MP who doesn't have the stench of failure surrounding them.

Autistic people are associated with extra chromosomes and some claim may be a further evolutionary step. Tories however allow the lizard part of their brain to dominate, their entire behaviour is based on instinctual fear and limited emotions stemming from that. That's why it takes hardcore drugs for Osborne to crack a smile. Boris is a totally different case, he's some form of rodent in that he'll form clever schemes but then trip over his own bloody tail trying to implement them. Also the cenobites were very concerned about the society of hell and running it within an efficient structure even as reality fell apart as seen in the Scarlet Gospels. Tories don't even believe in society since Thatcher. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
