    Sky News is saying that sniffer dogs are going to be sent in to find remains in Grenfell towers.
    Strange there has been no uproar from the RoP at this act of defilement.

      I have done a bit of training with sniffer dosg, teaching them to find bodies. They have to be taught with substances which smell like a human body, and that is usually a mixture or human hair and pork.

    An incredibly angry reaction towards the ‘useless’ London mayor plus the comments such as:

    “He really is beyond useless to the point even Muslims and lefties see through his nonsense.”

    Heard on the BBC though, they have carefully edited out all the angry voices accusing him.

    The Bias continues.

    Just been listening to PM which has announced the results of the fastest public inquiry ever held.

    The Grenfell Tower fire was caused by the Theresa May.

    One nasty, highly partial opinion piece. So much for balance and impartiality.

    Earlier in the day we had a Guardian hack telling us it was all about being poor, with another mate joining in to say it was part of the ‘class war’. Sure the ‘poor’ all live 15 to a room, a single toilet to a street and get their water from a typhoid pump. Actually they probably do now in parts of London, but they aren’t ‘our’ poor, they are Nick Clegg’s.

      It’s the same with any stabbing or shooting by the RoPers, Jim, the police, within a few hours, can come up with a psychiatric evaluation, which could take weeks, as to the perps mental state and motive at the time of the attack. Bloody clever is our plod!

        This morning Treezer announced that a proper inquiry would be conducted – as opposed to an improper one? Now she has just announced that a full inquiry will take place.

        What is the difference between an inquiry and a full inquiry? Both whitewash the big shots, but a full inquiry takes longer and costs more.

        Meanwhile the BBC are blaming ToriKutz and greedy Tories.

        Can someone tell the Tories something the BBC know. The next election campaign is in full swing and the BBC are backing Labour. The Tories need to dump Treezer fast.

    With the BBC being occupied with the recent terrible events in London, they cherry pick what to report or not.
    These two left wing attacks took place this week.
    Congressman Steve Scalise, the No. 3 Republican in the US House of Representatives, was in critical condition on Wednesday night after he and three others were shot as they practised for a charity baseball game.
    He was shot by James Hodgkinson, 66, from Belleville, Illinois. Hodgkinson had posted anti-Trump messages on his social media accounts and campaigned on behalf of Mr Sanders, the Left-wing Senator who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination.
    He was a member of several anti-Republican groups on Facebook including “The Road to Hell Is Paved With Republicans”, “Terminate The Republican Party”, and “Donald Trump is not my President”.He described Mr Trump as a “traitor” in one post, and wrote “it’s time to destroy Trump & Co”
    Well none of this was deemed worth reporting or very little.
    This is another
    – A top candidate for France’s right-wing Republicans, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, was left unconscious Thursday after a clash with a protestor while out campaigning for this weekend’s legislative elections in Paris.
    Kosciusko-Morizet, widely known by her initials NKM, was insulted by a man while visiting a market in central Paris and then lost her balance when he tried to throw her campaign leaflets in her face, an AFP journalist at the scene said. After falling, she blacked out for several minutes possibly after hitting her head, before being revived by emergency services. Her aggressor, a middle-aged man in a shirt and chinos, left the scene immediately.
    I bet if was perpetrated by the right on leftists it wouldn’t have gone unreported

        I think it`s time to stop indulging the left.
        They`ve not had to argue for over 40 years now. As far as they are concerned “the politics is settled”.
        And their very salaries, fame and approval from the hive is ALL that their empty angry lives seem to be dedicated to.
        The “right” needs to stop sittting on the slab and start to run with the momentum that Nigel and Donald gave us.
        They need to grasp the scale of what we nearly chucked away last week-because we preferred to cruise in Corbyn class, instead of getting dirty, angry and sweaty in the engine room.
        To be fair to Islam-THEY see the need, and we act like uncovered meat for them.
        The Right needs to want the future, as much and even more than the presumptous nasty and gutless left. And tell Islam where the left live.
        Doesn`t seem that way today. Seems they`re happy to carve us up instead between them.

          Alicia, the first thing to be addressed is that you don’t fight the enemy on the battleground of her choosing, (couldn’t resist playing the game!). The so-called ‘right’, i.e. the sensible realists are not of the ‘right’. Left and right are the internationalist and nationalist extremes of communal socialism, where the individual is subject to the will of the leaders.

          The national socialists got a bad press in WW2, especially after killing some six million of their own citizens. The international socialists, (communists), were on the winning side so got to write the history and hide the tens of millions that they killed off. They gave themselves the brand name ‘left’ and called everyone else ‘right’, linking them with the socialists with the image problem. A neat trick.

          There was a time when a ‘liberal’, think freedom, a ‘democrat’, think individual voter, and a ‘conservative’, think retaining the best of the past, were defenders of free speech, free thought, rationality and responsibility. Sadly they have all given up those values, (poor Farron discovers that his liberals aren’t). They all try and position themselves on the communal socialist axis. Mrs. May ever fearful of being called ‘nasty’, (you are wasting your time dear), lurches Corbyn-wards, “I’m more internationist socialist than you”, and the sensible realists say, “Who the hell do we vote for? The parties are all the same.”

          And they are, because they are stupid enough to fight on the ground of the evil, destructive, idiotic left’s choosing.

          If each of us as individuals achieves, ‘society’ as a whole achieves. Society on its own cannot achieve. The communal socialist dream is that the leaders will direct the plebs to make more tractors. Is that really the dream of youth?

    OK folks, what bigger picture conclusions can we draw since the GE? TM is leaden footed as is the Conservative Party overall . Social Media rules, the electorate have no memory of what happened other than since 2010. A terrorist and Marxist can get 40per cent of the vote. A terrorist and Marxist track record is irrelevant . People see a kindly old guy who campaigns well and relates to people. Who can’t agree with social justice and bashing the rich? Every event, fire, scandal, any need to commit British troops will play into Corbyns hands. Meanwhile McDonnell aims to get 1 million on the streets to foment revolution from below. The conservatives can only hope to hang on and expect things to get better. Not a reassuring strategy but what remains? The BBC aids and abets Corbyn. One more push and we are there, they think. So, a tough 5 years. It’s a fight for survival. Enemies can no longer be tolerated. End the BBC licence for starters.

    As they continue to expertly advise us on the tower fire, the latest CBB outrage is how disgraceful this all is given that it’s happened in one of the wealthiest areas in London where people dig out their basements to create more space, while these poor souls have been living in sub standard accommodation for years. Exposed pipes, no sprinkler systems and a host of other third world living conditions, even before we get to the cladding. So according to this CBB cretin it’s the fault of the wealthy that this has happened. Actually I think it’s the taxes paid by the wealthy that helps support the residents of these towers through subsidised rents and other benefit payments. Everywhere in London is expensive to live and there are even social housing blocks in Mayfair. Prices to buy and to rent are crazy and this is in part due to large numbers of people flooding into an already well crowded city. The building had £10 million pounds worth of improvements, cladding being only part of the entire project. Whatever the condition was before the fire surely the 10 million must have left it looking more first world than third. Also the residents were living with fantastic transport links, Westfield shopping Centre and Hammersmith shopping also very close. Only about 4 or 5 tube stops to Paddington. It’s a bloody brilliant location and I’m sure it was far from the hell hole that some are trying to make it out to be. I hope that the building can be knocked down and re built for them. At the risk of opening my mouth too wide, I will also add that even if moved into a brand new tower many of the people affected would still find something to complain about. As for the CBB I wish they would just shut up.

    Three wheels on my wagon
    And I’m still rolling along
    The Cherokees are chasing me

    I’m singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high
    Pioneers, they never say die
    A mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
    And we can watch those Cherokees
    Go galloping by
    “George, they’re catching up to us!”
    “Get back in the wagon woman!”
    Two wheels on my wagon
    And I’m still rolling along
    Them Cherokees are after me
    Flaming spears
    Burn my ears
    But I’m singing a happy song
    I’m singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
    Pioneers, they never say die
    Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
    And we can watch those Cherokees
    Go galloping by
    “Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?”
    “Will you hush up? You and your maps!”

    Over the last 50 years tower blocks have been the answer to housing shortages.

    The bBC and it’s socialist agenda
    London fire: ‘The working class aren’t being listened to’
    Maria Vigo has lived opposite Grenfell Tower for 11 years, and she’s upset. Not just with the fire that claimed so many lives in the block she can see from her kitchen window. She’s also upset with how expensive her local playgroup has become, and how the people of north Kensington can’t afford the properties in the area. But – most of all – she’s upset that she’s not being listened to. “There was a lot of anger on the school run this morning,” she says.”There’s a lot of separation between classes and people are telling me that it’s down to social cleansing.”

    So Maria is complaining about social cleansing. looking at the vast majority of people from the tower block and the area, I’d say it was ethnic cleaning of the British People. But hey this is the bbC.

    She continues:
    “They need to train us how to get out of buildings safely, not just put up a fire notice,” she says.
    Really,you don’t have the intelligence to :
    a) Ask the management
    b) Ask the fire brigade (they are more than helpful)
    3) Work out your own escape route. I know I bloody would.

    Then she comes out with:
    “The council isn’t listening to us. We don’t want a pretty building. They should ask us ‘What do we need? or ‘What would we like? Maria also says a desire for profits is encroaching on the lives of working-class locals.'”
    Err yer daft bat, the council doesn’t run the tower block, a private non for profit company does.

    Have to laugh at this:
    “Properties are being built in this area that aren’t being bought by people in the local community.”
    Local community, 90% of that so called local community aren’t local to Europe never mind London.

Beeboid interviewing a bloke they describe as a “local resident” by the name of Piers Thompson who was slagging off the local council and demanding justice for the victims of Grenfell Towers. Very on message with the various Corbynistas who blame the government for the deaths. Then saw a piece of footage with Corbyn demanding the ” truth will out” about the tragedy, and who should be stood by the side of him wearing different clothes but the very same Piers Thompson. A quick Google check shows that Thompson is a local left wing activist and campaigner, along with his equally left wing wife, Tanya. Once again the BBC present us with a “concerned” local member of the public without telling us he’s a SJW and “community activist. The BBC really want calling out on this dishonesty.

      I am shocked I tell you, shocked. The BBC presenting an activist as a member of the general public/disinterested expert. What next? Hostility towards anybody on the Right in politics?

      That lad piers has been on the tv all day. At lunch time he was greeting his hero Corbyn just in time for the Beeb to film it and a black activist telling us that he is the one to save us. Later he showed up on sky news but with a different outfit. The place is crawling with left wing activists and they are all being paraded before the tv screens posing as normal members of the public. Channel 4 news earlier had the unelected politician known as lily Allen on blaming it all on the tories. Snow was lapping it all up until she brought up the fatality numbers and he ended the chat. All these guys are trying to incite hatred against the government and cause riots and the media are helping them.

      Did hear some bloke shouting over Sadiq Khan that he`s not backed Corbyn-and Khan should be ashamed of himself, and will he apologise?
      Usual shouty grandstand, hogging of the media news. Bet it was Piers, bet it was pre-staged, so the BBC would interview the passionate loudmouth for Corby.

    And welcome to a special edition of More or Less.
    The Grenfell Tower block has just finished an approx. £8 million + refurbishment.
    And we know there were 120 flats.
    That is a cost of £70,000 per flat !!!!!!! FFS.
    I could re- build my house for that kind of money. How the hell do they justify this? Where does the money come from?
    And we know that many of the residents are asylum seekers, Hijab wearing women (are they employed? Do they pay any tax?)

    What a disgrace. This tragedy reveals a Redistribution of wealth on a massive scale, and all on the quiet.
    This money should come out of the Overseas Aid Budget.

      Wonder if they had CCTV to see the numbers leaving the flats? Quick head count and it might help to identify people to recompense them after this terrible tragedy.

      As most in the media seem focused on John’s coup and Jeremy’s home invasion plans (kidding), has any enterprising journalist wIggled free of the latter’s rectum long enough to delve into the back story to the drafting of the fire regs, who drafted them, who oversaw them, who was in charge of implementation, etc? Is it possible there was more than one watch involved, and who failed.

      I see the NGO petition brigade are already working up some awesome demands, and some good ideas they are too. Just a little vague on who is paying for some symbolic diversity icons to live in the heart of the most expensive real estate there is with no hint on actual contribution.

      Maybe convert Hyde, Regent’s and other parks into nice little six up, six down detached des-reses with an acre of garden apiece, to satisfy whatever bonkers quotas they can dream up next?

    It’s often about this time of night Nick Robinson seems to tweet after a few too many in the HoC bar, and then needs to furiously explain or back pedal. And….

      Oh those poor migrants and others. Second night-and no homes.
      Oh wait.
      Don`t the BBC still have all that lovely space going nearby in White City?
      Channel 4 always seem to have plenty floor space going free. Why not let them all stay there, and film it for a live reality show?
      Cheap telly-and we might get some migratnts who could tell the truth and replace scum like Snow and Robinson.

      Yes, he is backpedalling already – “IF” is the key word. More ‘some say’ rubbish – “it weren’t me guv, honest!”
      Drip, drip propagandist. As impartial as a Corbyn poster.

      Typical BBC agenda. The World Tonight (Radio 4, 22:00-22:45) was at it too, with over-concentration on what the BBC clearly hopes will be (or, rather, what it can turn into) Mrs May’s ‘Katrina’ moment; listen around 10-15 minutes in. There was a contrast at one point between Jesus Christ’s (sorry, Freudian slip! I meant Jeremy Corbyn’s) meet-the -people visit and Treeza’s meet-the-Fire-Brigade equivalent. To top it all off, there was Trump bashing too, though the US interviewee dealt with Coomarasamy (spelling?) pretty well.

      I loathe the BBC viscerally and am seriously thinking of cancelling my £145.50 Telly Tax (sorry, I meant of course ‘TV Licence’) and soon, since I hardly watch anything now and prefer sites like this one.

        It beats me why any of you posters on this site pay the Telly Poll Tax?
        They have not got the manpower to prosecute all of the non-payers, the more the merrier.
        Why don’t you just add one more to their work load?
