Lenmcharristar 9,867 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 No my first thought is why are they highlighting muslims helping out instead of reporting on the horrific incident and questioning those responsible ..... I've only heard reporting on the horrific incident here, I'd say immigrants are a major part of tower block life in London, wether we like it or not.....If it was a middle class white mansion block, no doubt the coverage would be pretty white. So much cynicism, while kids bodies are barely cold just seems sad as fcuk to me....... from what I've seen on to there's a lot of smoke damaged people in the area too, the only white one prob works for labour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yea they helped cause they are mostly from the tribes. If it had been a lot of white people you think the tribes would come out in force to help us. Would they f**k . Also the authorities would probaly give us only the min of help nothing more nothing less. second rate people in our country. Yea its sad that kids died, that goes without saying but im not about to put the truth on the back burner over this latest tragedy. They were a shower of c**ts last week and will still be a shower of c**ts tomorrow! sick of them and sick of this country pandering to there every whim when they dont even appreciate all that is done for them. 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you were big on community spirit? From what I've just watched there is a massive response from the local community, massive amounts of donations of cloths etc from the locals, they may be wrong colour for you, but it's clearly there.... I've also seen plenty of coverage of white people that's been effected by it or just helping. The fact is, there could be over a hundred more victims in there? many of them little kids, seems a strange time to be irritated by a bit of coverage of community help.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there is plenty coverage of white people helping but no mention of their religion yet any brown person seen helping it's shoved in your face that they are Muslim If you think it's shoved in your face, fine, maybe you're right? It would equally seem a little odd for the press to address 'white people helping' that would surely cause an even bigger THL upset?? Haha.... If Muslims weren't helping & that was apparent, then there would be endless bleating about it & if they are helping it's still wrong..... Like I said, seems a bit odd obsessing over these details while the charred remains of kids are laying in that building.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Accip and Kay you both normally come over as intelligent people on here so I can't understand why you don't get what I'm saying ... it's nothing about what skin colour is being interviewed or what skin colour is helping it's about the simple fact that you never hear the words ... the catholic community or the Pentecostal movement or the Sikh and Hindu cultures etc etc etc .... BUT what you do keep hearing is the Muslim community this the Muslim community that ... for fukc sake it's not about what muslims are doing but what EVERYBODY there is doing so why the need to mention only one religious denomination ......... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course the media are going to lean that way, there obviously trying the balance out strong feeling about Muslims, I may not be particularly intelligent, but I'm not ignorant to it.........but that's the press for you. I'm just not going to get outraged by it, while there are bigger things to feel strongly about, which in my case is sympathy. Like it or not, I've witnessed on the box community spirit there & yes that includes a lot of Muslims, I don't give a fcuk how the media spins it, but that just me.....

jukel123 8,483 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 The flames and the smoke didn't discriminate on the basis of creed or colour. I don't think the media exaggerated the community cohesion after the tragedy. The one thing the residents all had in common was their relative poverty, otherwise they wouldn't be living like battery hens in dangerous 'cages.' I can remember way back in the sixties there was a backlash about children being brought up in high rise flats. They were thought to be totally unsuitable for children. Why are children still living in them? Because successive governments haven't provided decent houses for people ! The landlord and the bureaucrats who ignored safety warnings from tenants over several years should surely be charged with manslaughter. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This wouldn't have happened in a white mansion block, because proper fire safety precautions would have been installed - instead of covering a tower block in (apparently) combustible material, that turned it into a bonfire....for the sake of improving the aesthetics of a concrete monstrosity that upset the view from the neighbouring conservation areas ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
