20 days ago after the Grenfell tragedy, Theresa May promised money to rehouse those affected by the tragedy within 3 weeks. Can this be another broken promise?
Some people have been rehoused, often in unsuitable accomodation “but we’ve done our bit to rehouse them”
Accomodation has been given on a “like it or lump it” basis away from schools, families and friends. A home is not just an item, but often represents a family community.
Many people are still without homes, basic possessions such as clothing and identity documents.
Due to the stupid rules regarding benefit payments, those with no address often have their benefit payments stopped.
I just heard something on ITV’s This Morning, which is perfectly true… If there was an earthquake in some third world country, the British Government would be sending aid out immediately. Our own people suffer tragedy and many thousands more are victim to years of Tory housing cuts – that were passed in 1984 under Thatcher
I wonder if in 24 hours everyone will be housed in suitable accomodation or is this ANOTHER BROKEN TORY PROMISE from Mrs Weak and Wobbly U-turn.
I have an awful feeling that this ‘corrupt-to-the-core’ government will not budge without being pushed and the first opportunity to give them a push is in 5 years time, thanks to 13 million people choosing to let them stay put when the opportunity for change was right there to grasp last month.
Hi Martin
Sadly everyone was hoodwinked into thinking that the Tories would deliver Brexit and a load more. The right-wing media controlled by Tory voters claimed only the Tories could deliver and the Labour Party (and Jeremy Corbyn) was some no hope loonies. Had even the BBC been neutral, then I think it would have been a different story. What did George Orwell write “The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what’s happening”. Thirty years later than he predicted, this came true.
There’s not too much that this government does that targets the right people. Yesterday, I saw a comment from a guy who had his flat and possessions destroyed in Grenfell. Hey ho, his bank account still works – and so did the Direct Debit for his rent.
Theresa May and her Top Table of privileged Toffs give NOTHING to the needy. They take from the poor and give to their rich mates. They probably know their days are numbered, so pockets are being lined and favours noted. Lining up for those ridiculous non jobs that ex politicians seem to get – but which are never available to the ordinary pleb in the street.
“Help us save the NHS” they plead of the Lib Dems.
How can you save something from yourself, I ask?
