This is a link post Pretentious wanker tries to make a difference by being unbearably patronising.
A few years ago, Sarah affixed a mini-banner to the bottom of a fence around a basketball pitch - a hang-out for young men, in a part of South London notorious for gang violence.
On it was stitched a quotation from the film director, Martin Scorsese: "It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world, and if it does, then only temporarily."
She hoped the kids would notice it, find it surprising and understand that someone cared about them.'



Give me strength...

And that explains why now, a few years later, I am standing with Corbett in a central London clothes shop famous for its fast fashion - and frequently accused of buying from sweatshops - watching her slip tiny handmade scrolls into PVC macs.
In delicate swirly writing, each scroll reads: "Clothes maketh the person" - that's quite a responsibility, isn't it?

"When Grenfell happened I called my mum and we both got really upset and angry that something like that could still happen. I still get so angry and emotional thinking about it."

Yeah, I didn't see you helping out at fucking Latimer Road, organising clothing drives or helping out at the sport centre. But at least you got angry and emotional about it.

Have some fucking respect from the dead you fucking mong. I took 5 days unpaid off work to help out as I live on Latimer Road. Do you do anything useful or helpful for anyone ever or is your time spent just being a loledgy twat on a site you only discovered about a couple of years ago? You should definitely start drinking again, it's a much more constructive use of your time.

Anyone can get an assisted place at a public school if they work hard enough and aren't thick, so yep that rules you out. As for the 'little people', that's just people like you, people that I would amusingly watch drown

This is a normal post Your moral high ground is looking a little bit shaky.
No longer addicted myself and no idea why Prufrock doesn't drink.
But the way you are apparently trying to weaponize addiction here to win internet arguments is really tacky.

Dude you want to post something constructive, I'll do the same. I have and claim no moral highground (except over Brexit where you fuckwits have been comprehensively proven to be retards) but don't fucking mock a genuine tragedy. I only expect that from Prufrock, who assumes that everyone is as much of despicable stalker shit as he is.

Neither of those were tragedies. They were the direct result of human instigated violence. Grenfell doesn't fit into that pocket, it was a horrific accident (made worse by hubris sure) not something that a person instigated on purpose.

This is a normal post How are you defying tragedies these days?
"tragedy

Noun

An event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe."


Also accident?

The Whirlpool fridge freezer that probably started it are part of a massive consumer safety scandal. whirlpool are refusing to do a recall on them despite causing loads of fires.

Combine that with the flammable cladding that was put on just so people in the area with much better housing didn't have to look at an eye sore and you've got a bit of blame to sling around.

Also you forgot to point out where I mocked it.

I don't see murder as an tragedy. I see it as the actions of an evil murderous shit. It's a terrible loss of life, but it wasn't an accident borne of hundreds of layers of mistakes, it is a distinct evil action attributable back to an individual.

Grenfell was a tragedy.

Almost like language is a mutable and constantly evolving thing. The US president calls the LA shootings a tragedy. I call it murder.

BTW just had a look round /board for the first time in a while, looks like there were some entries based on Grenfell.

Now i'm going to do something more productive but i'll leave you with my mate Samuel.
