Seriously guys I don't want to unnecessarily offend you, but you are so missing the point. This is about a UK tragedy that happened precisely people were valued less than private companies making a huge profit. This is what happens when people are conditioned to think of people in different circumstances than them as being fundamentally different "a burden". The fact is that the biggest demographic in the UK that rely on some kind of welfare are THE WORKING POOR. This is exaggerated further in London, and then again in a borough like Kensington and Chelsea, where foreign billionaires, many of whom don't actually occupy the properties they have invested in, drive the prices up to such an unrealistic level that the people who clean their apartments, the plumbers who install their bathrooms, the bus drivers who ferry the tourists around etc can not afford to rent a property for £4000 a month and so live in social housing. They are working. The rent is partly subsidized by the Government to make it affordable.


Then consider against this that the Government has been pushing an austerity agenda that has seen huge cuts to public services so that people working as civil servants, probation officers, court admin, fire and hospital service personnel have had not only their wages cut year on year, but their ability to respond. So the government this week who found billions for the Queen and some former protestant terrorists in Northern Ireland allowed councils to cut fire safety regulations and use inflammable cladding. They cut fire fighters wages and the former Tory mayor of London laughed about cutting the amount of fire engine vehicles etc, and now it turns out the council had millions of pounds of tax payers money in the bank. On top of that virtually every single social housing high rise building they have tested around the country is turning out to have used dangerous cut price materials to save money, have no sprinklers and often blocked or unusable fire escapes.

It's enormous. It is the result of an ideology in which the Queen and the MPS get a pay rise and ordinary working people are told there is no money. No money for doctors or nurses or veterans or the disabled or teachers or schools or hospitals, but millions of pounds of tax payers money in private developers pockets and bank accounts who could not even be bothered to use materials for a few pounds extra that would resist fire.

It has nothing to do with Welfare and that is why being worried about the property rights of some rich bastard who does not want the working poor living NEXT DOOR is so offensive. In the grand scheme of things it matters little and they have no right to dictate such nonsense.
