every time i read a statement from the british government, i feel like retching.
once again this shitty, fascist government is wrong.
You've been reading too much Daily Mail.
The fire didn't incinerate the poor people then go around the flats belonging to the average earners and the rich to reach more poor people, it didn't magically stop and say "ooh this flats worth a half mil, better not burn these guys or people will care". Grenfell had nothing to do with class, that's just triple trotted out by the tabloid press and the clickbait alt news sites to stir up anger and sell papers/generate traffic.
No, it's a moronic analogy, as the "bowl of fruit" you already have is even more poisoned. I know where that analogy comes from, and it's simply racist.
Not only that, you are proving my entire point about your authoritarianism. Your hatred of immigration is no different than their hatred of speech.

How is your hatred of immigration any different than their hatred of speech?
i would say not racist ( not intended anyway ) but certainly very poor taste,
because i don't hate immigration.
i just don't want rampant, uncontrolled immigration.
and immigration isn't good for the lower and middle classes, it's just not. it's a lie if you think it is. which is why i'd make immigration require a provable highschool level education at the very least.
Except the culprits were working class too

The point is the victims care. This wouldn't be an issue if the idiots didn't post it online knowing said victims would see. Regardless most people in the UK have already forgotten about this.
What daily mail articles are those. The general perception of the grenfell block was that it was full of poor people and it is the reaction to it that was being addressed.
They were in a nice semi with a garden which is different from being stuck in a tower block.

The news articles on it as well as other incidents.
Here is a famous one to prove a point.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...hing.football1
A team of about 18 journalists and photographers had been sent to cover the story, and although reporter Harry Arnold sought out MacKenzie to caution against reporting allegations as truth, MacKenzie pressed on.
Having decided to lay the blame on the fans' doorsteps, there was no stopping him.
Under the headline "The Truth" there were three subheadings:
Some fans picked pockets of victims
Some fans urinated on the brave cops
Some fans beat up PCs giving the kiss of life
The story read as follows: "Drunken Liverpool fans viciously attacked rescue workers as they tried to revive victims of the Hillsborough soccer disaster, it was revealed last night.
"Police officers, firemen and ambulance crew were punched, kicked and urinated upon by a hooligan element in the crowd.
"Some thugs rifled the pockets of injured fans as they were stretched out unconscious on the pitch.
"Sheffield MP Irvine Patnick revealed that in one shameful episode a gang of Liverpool fans noticed that the blouse of a girl trampled to death had risen above her breasts.
"As a policeman struggled in vain to revive her, the mob jeered: 'Throw her up here and we will **** her'"
The story went on: "One furious policeman who witnessed Saturday's carnage stormed: 'As we struggled in appalling conditions to save lives, fans standing further up the terrace were openly urinating on us and the bodies of the dead."
