The interview is here - https://www.channel4.com/news/lily-allen-the-government-is-trying-to-micromanage-grief The exact words she uses are 'many of them are children'. Snow confirms the 150 estimate as well. She is right the government is trying to micromanage this to downplay the political impact, and the press are allowing them to.

Reports are saying there's 600+ people living in the flats. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 3 or 4 kids per bedroom, increasing the amount of dead.

Owlkill posted:So this seems quite serious - any NI-knowledgable people able to comment on how this would be dealt with? I think its worth reading their full formal statement: sinn fein posted:We told Prime Minister May and she and her government are in default of the Good Friday Agreement and that they have turned a blind eye to the disruptive actions of the DUP over a long time. So Sinn Fein are holding to their line that, regardless of any DUP pact, the government are still in contempt of the Good Friday agreement through their Brexit, human rights and legacy (though this isn't mentioned here) policy. The DUP pact has potential to undermine the GFA if the government continues to facilitate and assist the DUPs refusal to implement outstanding agreements and bring in local human rights reforms. Its a broad shot against May warning here to mind herself and reiterating their stance that the government, just as much as the DUP, are threatening the institutions through their policy. kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Mozi posted:Well, you have May... then you have Boris... then you have Gove. He'll have a hell of a time weaselling away from that "get stuffed" video as well. In isolation at any other time he might manage, but on top of him already having lost a ton of credibility over the Ł350M for NHS thing I think it's becoming more widely realised that he's a straight up liar rather than a gobby leg-end who tells it like it is.

CoolCab posted:david cameron somehow was the best leader the conservatives have had since thatcher, which is the funniest fuckin thing. all the competent politicians hitched their wagons to him, leaving only the idiots (gove) backstabbers (may) and clowns (boris) left. may has been unable to grow new talent or loyalty quickly enough, and the pro-cameron wing is absolutely still a major force in their government (if not on frontbenches) He was actually a clone of Blair with a different coloured tie.

He promised the people on the ground that he will see those responsible held to account. Plus the government is hiding behind most of the victims being 'missing'. A more cynical person could conclude that helpful lie is why there's so little coordinated effort to identify the injured and inform their families. Corbyn has promised he will get to the truth, and unlike pretty much every other politician he has a habit of keeping his promises.

Emergency service guys see lots of bad poo poo all the time, but mass casualty incidents of children are a special kind of hell. I happen to live very close to the Sandy Hook Elementary School area, and since I have close ties to the fire service I've heard some stories that I wish I could burn out of my mind about the day the the shooting massacre happened. I can't even imagine how the people that actually saw it first hand cope with it to this day. The people going into the tower and clearing it will need a ton of support going forward.

You guys are not going to be negotiating Brexit on Monday. There won't be a government to do the negotiating. Hell, if the current Tories try to sit down, I half expect at this point that the EU reps will refuse to take the table due to how precarious the government is. Dear god what an utter disaster the May government is turning into.

They'll be able to weather this for a month or two but they're done for. The EU negotiators should start drawing up a list of the concessions they will demand to allow the UK to (mostly) backpedal out of leaving the single market.
