Oh, and remind me again how many millions of pounds your beloved Tories gave Big Liz to renovate her central London digs not 8 months ago? Austerity my arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he should have then installed what was proposed would be between his conscience and his bank balance, unfortunately. No doubt but those seeking and taking public office are supposed to protect the public from morally bankrupt individuals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Fire breaks out at high-rise flats in Glasgow Fifteen people had to evacuate their homes after a fire broke out at high-rise flats in Glasgow. Emergency crews were called to the 24-storey Cheviot Court building in Knightswood at about 05:50.

She will have attended many training sessions for incidents like this, she will have been involved in the planning for them. This is her bread and butter. Yet the site of the relief operation was chaos for days and mostly dependent on volunteers. She could have been onsite early on then hauled the council head to the site with a phonecall to get him cracking at organizing the relief and been making it blindingly clear that if something was needed she would bulldoze the obstacles. This should have remade her reputation. Her looking like an out of touch tourist seeking to do the minimum to mollify the press has instead been the breaking of it. She is a career politician. Doesn't make her stand out from the other 317 Tory MP's (or indeed the rest of Parliament). Yes, she's inept as Prime Minister, but given the damage limitation that had to be done after the Brexit referendum she was the only choice for leader as far as her party was concerned. And of course her days as Prime Minister are numbered, and she won't be remembered fondly. Absolutely no sympathy for her, but she's just the current incumbent, towing the party line. Anything to cling to power (D.U.P.) and anything to save and accumulate money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than being an utter c**t who try s to make political capital out of a tragedy. And they're dealing with it, they are not however responsible for it, no matter how hard the snowflakes and sjw's try and claim that they are. Not only are you a horrendous human being who constantly spouts Olympian levels of absolute shite on Pie & Bovril, your avatar is absolutely bollocks as well.

He is wrong. Flammable materials are banned above 18m. In any logical sense this was a flammable material, but under British standards (and other countries too!) it was an 'inflammable material' and hence allowed to be used.
