I really do not understand why the people Camden Council evacuated are snarling and bitching. Alright, a night on an air mattress and in a leisure centre isn't much fun, but the fire service and council reacted very swiftly to save their lives, and there are still people in that block refusing to budge.

I assume you'd be perfectly fine with someone kicking you out of your home and forcing you to sleep on an air mattress in a leisure centre for a totally unspecified amount of time, then?

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

In other news, if you want to know one of the reasons why the Mail went on the offensive about the Guardian cartoon, the Finsbury Park attacker had left a note full of Daily Mail talking points about Khan and Lilly Allen and also the BBC drama about the Rochdale grooming case. The mail's coverage of it has focused on the BBC drama as the reason for his radicalisation and is trying to down play the other parts.

Obviously, it wouldn't be my first choice, but it beats burning to death, and I would be glad the council has got off their arse eventually. Apparently, the majority are him in hotels, even the woman with a dog.

LEFT-WING LOVE IN: BBC savaged over Jeremy Corbyn 'hero-worshipping' at Glastonbury
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/820847/Glastonbury-Festival-BBC-Left-wing-bias-hero-worshipping-Jeremy-Corbyn

quote:

Tory MP Philip Hollobone said: “The BBC is riddled with Left-wing bias from the Today programme downwards.

“They will seize any opportunity to get Theresa May out. Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury is a typical example of their behaviour… the BBC is out of control.”

Andrew Bridgen, another Tory MP, added: “The BBC will do everything they can to get their hero Jeremy Corbyn into Downing Street. Now with things like this year’s Glastonbury, it’s becoming ever more blatant.

“They are at the stage where if the BBC give it one more push, we will end up with a Marxist in No 10.”
...
James Heappey, Tory MP for Wells which includes the festival site, criticised , said he was “politicking on the Pyramid Stage ahead of his responsibilities as head of Her Majesty’s Opposition”.
The leader of the opposition is politicking :qq:

I imagine that some of it might also be that kicking people out so you can install cladding doesn't make obvious, intuitive sense to some folks - after all, it's the outside of the building, and their flat's on the inside. Why should they leave?

Now, I know that there are a number of decent reasons why that does need to happen, but you can see why it might get people's hackles up.

Just finished watching the speech and now I can see where the Express is coming from, the man's on fire and not taking prisoners, and the Tories know their doom approaches. The only play they've got is to try and keep him off the airwaves.
