yeah and a further read mentioned the new gas riser in the stairwell:

all of chapter 31: Isolating the Tower from the Gas Supply is a great read as well, some excerpts:

once against stage 1 only focuses on the night of the fire and response. stage 2 will tackle the failures in management and responsibilities of everyone that got the tower into that state, although stage 1 has some strong recommendations to start with (which are unlikely to be ignored like leveson's findings...)

This is loving *insanity*. Other post-Ronan-Point gas retrofits took the pipes up the outside of the building exactly because the only other way of doing them was to breach compartmentalisation in the stairwell or communal areas - the utility risers generally didn't have the space for gas piping. Even if they had all been boxed in and firewalled perfectly there still would have been weeks of fire and smoke being able to jump floors and fill communal areas while the work went on, exactly what happened at Lakanal House (except there it was lack of any real attempt to seal electrical ducting in communal areas between floors). The idea you'd do it with loving gas pipes is every bit as maliciously incompetent as the loving cladding.

If we lose the election we still have the most left-wing Labour opposition in my lifetime, with a PLP gradually being stripped of its worst members and no more Watson. Corbyn will step down, nullifying all the media attacks on him as a person, and we elect a new left-wing leader.

There are worse positions to me in. More people will die under the Tories, but the fight goes on.

Has anyone doing the public "Corbyn is an antisemite" thing ever made an effort to answer how given a political platform that is loudly and centrally for fundamental human equality and therefore - necessarily - anti racist, how it could be that if Corbyn could be literally doing all of that and holding back a "except for the Jews, obviously, lol" thing under his breath? Like, how would that actually exist as a political ethos? An all of us except you thing. And even if it somehow did, are all the other people that voted Labour in on it or if not are we expected to just fall in behind him in that case like "well, guess we're doing this now" instead of you know, taking him to the wall ourselves?

So I'm reading the history of China and I got to WW1. And uh Brits. China is going to get you back for all this. They held a grudge against an emperor for like 400 years because he had the wrong last name.

Somewhere in the year 2200 when China owns 300 of the worlds 340 Aircraft Carriers they're going sail on up and just turn London into a saltwater lake
They're still mad about that time that they humiliated themselves for a century because their authoritarian manbaby emperor wanted to murder addicts against the advice of his own portmasters and he got a fat lip over it and prohibition was made an international joke for 50 years. If there was ever a time for them to get Britain back it would have been over Brown's equivalent illegal ban on mephedrone and destruction of Chinese goods in 2010.

Yes, it's actually worse than the passive voice, in that "Pornography was put onto the screen" merely avoids mentioning who was responsible while "Pornography appeared on the screen" ignores the possibility that there even was anyone responsible to avoid mentioning.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Pornography was put onto the screen.

We need a robust system of tracking and marking Jews to prevent an antisemitic Corbyn government. Verification of Jewish heritage, monitoring Twitter for words like klezmer and bagel and synagogue, and the consideration of anything from full blooded to ⅛ Jewish blood being added to some kind of scale marking fitness to make public comments on Jeremy Corbyn. This is not racist. I'm not racist your racist.

Family members who aren’t normally political have been messaging me lately to complain about the lack of balance on tv in general when it comes to Corbyn, apparently Gogglebox and Graham Norton were taking shots at him and Swinson but after Boris’ terrible week nout was mentioned. I figured during election time this would be less common, but I guess comedy shows aren’t subject to the same rules?

It’s poo poo but it also feels good that people who don’t care are starting to notice!

my parents were watching HIGNFY last night and literally the first joke was "Jeremy Corbyn's Brexit plan is complicated lol" after which I gave up in disgust (also Helen Lewis was on who's a massive terf I believe? unless I'm messing up my Helens)

If you say the exact same sentence but remove 'tho' then it becomes the UKIP canvassing tip.

Helen Lewis is basically TERF Prime in the current media landscape, there's stories around that she has enough pull (as the host of Woman's Hour) to basically blacklist people who write pro-trans opinion pieces from getting more newspaper work.

E: Yes exactly, as the Ash tweets above show. She also produced the infamous "As a feminist who is white..." tweet when a bunch of PoC were complaining about white feminism.
