Gotta Keep That Revolution Rolling

Over the night of June 13th (13/6/17) into June 14th (14/6/17) a fire completely destroyed the 120 apartment Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West housing estate in the Kensington area of the UK city of London.

Almost as if they had time to plan the UK Labour Party used the fire as an opportunity incite public anger as part of a campaign against the governing Conservative Party. Amid this intense pressure the Prime Minister Theresa May made a number of hard to justify concessions to the Labour Party.

For example London's Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan called for a Public Inquiry and Prime Minister May granted it. Within the UK Public Inquires have a long history of being used to delay criminal investigations and protect the guilty for as long as possible.

Labour also demanded that an amnesty be granted for any illegal immigrants who were living in Grenfell Tower or any residents who had been illegally sub-letting their homes. Prime Minister May also granted those concessions.

The issue of sub-letting is a particularly worrying one because the UK had a General Election just on June 8th (8/6/17).

If a home is sub-let then a voting card is set out to the registered occupant at the address. As it is common to get more than one person of the same age and name living in the same city often a second voting card is sent out in error to where that person is actually living. That means that person gets two votes.

The constituency of Kensington & Chelsea where Grenfell Tower is located was decided by just 20 votes after several recounts. A race this tight normally automatically triggers an investigation because even a small amount of electoral fraud can materially alter the election result.

Prime Minister May's decision to waive the usual investigation into whether the Labour Party stole the election has obviously concerned leaders in many democratic nations. Particularly the European Union (EU).

On Thursday (22/6/17) evening Prime Minister May attended an EU leaders summit. There she briefly outlined her plans for the rights of immigrants and EU citizens - including voting rights - after Britain has left the EU.

This led to the other EU leaders to line up to condemn Prime Minister May for not doing enough on the 'immigration issue' and protecting the rights of the citizenry.

On Friday (23/6/17) lunchtime Kensington & Chelsea council made a gesture suggesting the Labour Party's freeride is coming to an end.

Another concession that Labour forced out of Prime Minister May is that the residents of Grenfell Tower would be re-homed within the borough. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

Absolutely no London borough or I think any local government in any nation has 600+ emergency accommodation spaces available. So usually people who need emergency accommodation are transferred to boroughs which have space available. After all its far from impossible to commute across London for work.

However due to Labour's demand Kensington & Chelsea are not able to do this instead being forced to place people in very expensive hotel accommodation.

At lunchtime Friday (23/6/17) Kensington & Chelsea council announced that it would no longer be paying the hotel bills of 20 residents of Grenfell Tower. Those people could then chose to take up emergency accommodation or make themselves homeless.

On Friday (23/6/17) evening the Labour controlled council of the London borough of Camden announced it was evacuating 161 residents from tower blocks due to overblown concerns of a fire risk similar to Grenfell Tower.

This evacuation has been an utter disaster. The Camden residents aren't even being offered emergency accommodation. Instead they're being forced to sleep on the floor in evacuation centres. Those who would rather live with the small risk and are refusing to leave their homes are being threatened with arrest by the police.

The intention of Labour council causing this much chaos is to breath new life into their campaign against the government. As soon as someone complains Labour activists can say; "Yes. But look what the evil Tories are doing in Kensington & Chelsea!"

Since the Grenfell Tower fire the spies grapevine has been full of rumours that the Labour Party not only exploited the tragedy but actually set the fire to give themselves something to exploit.

A specific name of the arsonist keeps coming up and in the last few days the discussion has really moved from if Labour set the fire to whether and when the UK is going to make this information public or if non-UK actors will have to release the information themselves.

In announcing the evacuation on national TV Camden Council leader Georgia Gould pledged to keep people safe in this scary time.

I was a London Labour Party activist scared I was about to be brought to justice for 79 counts of murder I'd certainly be looking for reassurance the party is going everything in its power to keep me safe and protect me.
