It's hard to compare the Manchester (or indeed London) attacks by sick terrorists which we can and should all unite against (even if approaches differ) with a tragedy that really appears to demonstrate a massive division, economically, socially and ideologically within the country!
I'd urge you to watch the channel 4 interview with David Lammy

Or even more so look up some of the opinions of locals about the mainstream media and establishment doing the rounds on the likes of buzzfeed etc.

How do you know she wasn't speaking up?

im glad to hear the community is coming together. admittedly ive been a bit out the loop and only heard radio reports and bbc news.
I'm not sure how it is? They've had so many donations that they had to ask people to stop within a day as it became counter productive, plenty of people have volunteered. There has been plenty of talk about people 'coming together' after Manchester attacks, London attacks and now this fire etc... Sure no one seems to have sung an Oasis song and there isn't a big benefit concert but the circumstances are a bit different.
You assume what easyrider does and doesn't care about and describe it as a staged managed publicity event?
People need to consider why Khan/May/the Queen have trouble walking the street that seem to open up to Corbyn.
I can't speak for the grieving lady at Grenfell and seriously neither can you, if you take it as a personal attack for me to typify the above statements as a bit sick, so be it, I suspect if you went and met the locals calling you a bit sick would be the milder end of responses.
By the way on the nuclear thread, thanks for the random, I don't understand what the hell he's on about drive by!
The queen had no problem. Infact the residents seemed to be incredibly touched that she was there and talking to them eye to eye.

Did you read your own article? "says she" "I said". There's still no record other than her own.
The Queen's visit looks like every royal visit ever (no bad thing in the circumstances) and I'm not complaining about that, I wouldn't describe it as walking the streets.
Oddly as a republican, recent input on the parallels to 1930s Europe and same old same old reliability from the Royal visits, has been as welcome as that sane Dolph post earlier.
We don't have to agree on everything to have some compassion and respect for the individuals involved who are each dealing with it their own way and if we can't agree that an investigation(s) that quickly learn what we can do to stop this in future (which will likely require punishing those responsible) is needed, I wonder what planet we are all on!
It'll be interesting if we find that someone who claims to have raised the issue previously was actually responsible for ignoring it, a point you appear to imply, I hope this would be a matter of public record.
Easy attacked her for going to the Firefighters first, then attacked her when she went.
Saying she only did it because of bad publicity.
How is that not a stage managed event?
But I'm sure your right I'm sure easy just deeply cares for Ms mays agender on a personal level
At the point I suggested your comments were a bit sick you were talking about "the best picture with a sobbing resident".
I've quoted what you were saying at the time that I typified the comments as sick, it is not likely an accident that you have dropped these quotes from your response!
Welcome to the Internet.
She would be attacked whenever she did it. Immediately that it happened she would be being opportunistic. Too late, she's only doing it because she was made to. Didn't show up she doesn't care. Does show up she's faking. She's a widely disliked Prime Minister. There is no scenario in this circumstance where she would not be attacked by people such as yourself. None.

got to wonder if that cladding was approved/intended... has a contractor taken a shortcut? Did people in the council know about the decision to use this cladding and approve of it?
What in particular do you mean? People using it to bash 'the Tories' before we've had an investigation?

I think their head is vacuous.
I still cant believe how many people are jealous/crying about easyrider's qualification.
He has a qualification and he's proud of it. I mean is it really worth whining over? Some people seem to be phobic to anyone and anything academic.
I think it became a point because they tried to use it as an Appeal To Authority. Their point was "I'm right because I have a BA in Media Studies". Unsurprisingly, that generated some amusement.
There are major and meaningful differences between print media and social media in terms of how and how much people's views are manipulated. Might as well say that a dialysis machine is no different to leeches of years before. And this from someone with a degree in media studies!
