Making the news today....

[Mark Bolam]

Well which news items do you think are interesting to the average Arbtalk user? The items of news that people discussed on my worksite have been the assorted terrorist attacks and the Grenfell fire. All stories with an obvious immigration angle.... There's obviously other news, however it's mostly a bit boring...
 
Anyway, I see in the Guardian that John Lewis' profits have dropped 53%! That should be good for a couple of pages of debate [emoji6]

Having 'Back to School' stuff in the window on the first day of the holidays in July and selling 'gender neutral' kids clothes they bloody deserve it!

Is Moore-Bick right to not have anyone from Grenfell tower on the enquiry?

This is gong to be in the news everyday until the 24th.

Then the crackpots can come up with some other hocus pocus nonsense.

Boris Johnson says the UK will stand together with the international community...... stand and err...... well, just stand there. What an utterly pointless statement.
At least Trump has had the sense not to tweet anything.

I don't know, why does it matter?.. I was listening to some fella on radio4 yesterday bleating that people who lived in the neighborhood of Greenfell tower wouldn't be invited to give evidence to the inquiry..

What he meant was "He" wasn't now likely to get his two minutes in the limelight.. what a scumbag...

 

I'd like to know why theres an inquiry at all, it was a hot day, hotter than usual, a fire broke out and caused the deaths of a couple of dozen people.. so what, big deal..  whats to learn?..  tell the sun to cool down or have some heavy showers on hand..

 

If your asking me this greenfell tower fire is being used as a filler for quiet news days, just watch, every time nothins goin on, they'll have some crap about some nobody from Greenfell goin over how traumatic it was, or layin blame somewhere to someone or other..

 

And why I'm about it, I'm sick of people bleating that the local authority hasn't housed all the residents to their satisfaction yet, a full three months on..

Well, why not get their own houses, go out and buy one for themselves.. why not, because they can't afford to buy one, in which case they aught show more gratitude to those tryin to house them..  I'm almost tempted to suggest they throw em out on the streets and tell em to piss off and get their own accommodation..
