    “However, overly burdensome building safety regulations can stifle housebuilding”

    Any examples to support this opinion?

    Why does every single Reform representative have literally zero empathy. It’s one thing to think this, but to wander around telling people shows an utter inability to understand that most people have some empathy. All the Reform representatives are like this, on every issue. It’s like they only recrute people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

    Oh god is this a nightmare? How come there are people willing to vote for those grifters who are all about their personal gain and against the public interest and esp working class

    It’s giving “Titanic was a tragedy, but everyone should know how to swim”.

    So he’s expecting people to read this and think “heh, based, empathy is for chuds”? This just sucks man

  6. If this isn’t an April fool, then the man should’ve forced to live in one of these tower blocks with poor safety that can’t get it replaced with his family and see how it makes him feel for a year. This is disgraceful. 

  7. >You can’t stop tragic things from happening

    Um, yes you can. We do it all the time.

    Tenner says that 30 years ago this idiot was banging on about how cars don’t need seat belts.

  8. You could say that to anything, including some of their election points. Migration? Who gives a shit, because we’ll all be dead in 50-100 years. Taking away workers’ rights to boost rich business owners? Those millionaires will be dead eventually, and their money will be worthless. Crime? Murder is just another way to die.

    I’m gonna go right ahead and assume this guys big plans are to scrap building regulations and bring back asbestos.

    So is he okay with poor safety testing meaning he gets burned alive? Because I’m not okay with that, even for him.

    I normally don’t get that annoyed at shit reform do because it’s just a given they will be cunts but this is a new low the people in Grenfell died painfully and for no reason at all other than saving a few quid disgusting human being.

    Except in this case these horrible deaths could easily have been prevented with basic safety measures.

    But that would cut into Reform’s donors profit margins, so we can’t have that.

  13. Something tells me he could’ve made his point across without being a complete bellend… Jesus christ!

  14. Being around these types is hell. Used to work around them and they have zero empathy. Zero. Yet, if you so much as by mistake look at them wrongly, the whole world collapses.

    They disgust me these types.

  15. It is categorically untrue that post-Grenfell regulations have “stifled” house building.

    For a start, the combustible material ban only applies once buildings reach a certain height – so for housing, that’s blocks of flats. Secondly, when it comes to insulation and cladding – the cost difference between cheap combustible plastic foam shite, vs non-combustible products, is peanuts.

    The combustible ban hasn’t prevented a single building from being built.

    Literally the only people who argue against this ban, are the ones who stand to benefit financially – i.e. the manufacturers of cheap combustible plastic foam shite, and anyone who’s in their pocket.

  16. Reform should go back to speaking about immigrants 24/7.

    Their statements are as jarring as this one, but somehow people support them (even in this sub)

    So he’d be fine if someone stabbed him because he’s going to die at some point anyway?

  18. Cheen_Machine on

    I’m just happy these cretins have peaked early when there’s no GE in sight. Hopefully by the time one comes around their support will have turned against them for spouting this kind of shit.

    Have Reform MPs ever just considered not saying anything ever? They cannot seem to make one statement without uttering something reprehensible, so it would just be safer for them to never say anything ever again and hope that will win them the election.

    “Why live? Why do anything at all? You are all going to die anyways.”

    “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”

  21. Warm-Marsupial8912 on

    That is what he said, what he was thinking was “it didn’t matter, they weren’t white British, it released some valuable building land”. And there are enough awful people in the country to make his election a possibility

  22. ladybennett22 on

    Interesting comment, isn’t it. I wonder what he would have said if Grenfell Tower was located in Cumbria?

  23. Yes, most people want to pass away peacefully in their sleep, not getting burned alive. What a fucking cabbage this guy is.

  24. CensorTheologiae on

    We really did open the door to the worst people in the world when we resigned ourselves to accepting “but they would have died anyway”, didn’t we?

  25. crumpetsandchai on

    I recently rewatched the footage of Grenfell and it was more tragic than I remembered. Several fire fighters went on stress leave after it. I have friends that were in the local area that were helping out and had ptsd from the smell alone and kept saying how they smelt it for weeks

    But sure, working-class people living in the most wealthiest boroughs in one of the most wealthiest cities in the world have to die one day.

  26. ElvishMystical on

    Oh okay. Why bother having police or investigating violent crime? We could abolish prison too. Shut down the NHS.

    This is why I’m in opposition to Reform. There is a total lack of empathy, humanity and integrity. These three things are absolute necessities to run society. You can make all the money you like, have record profits, but you need humanity, empathy and integrity which is the glue which holds society together and makes it work.

    I’ve met a few Reform supporters and maybe I’ve been unlucky, but they all seem to be nasty pieces of work.

    Why does a part of me feel if Reform or Restore ever get in power the first words muttered will be along the lines of Execute Order 66.
