in the whole country but the north where we live has one of the highest concentration of people low incomes. the go it inequality is pushing so many out the area it's obvious global capital has no regard for people like me it's the same story the world over from burlington real madrid to new york but maybe because we're in such prime real estate what we had to live through could be a warning for you all so i set out to learn from those who are in the know about here and tell you about it. they want to paris more due. here where they push everyone out to the outskirts in a suburb where you can easily control that outside of that of the inner circle where they have taken over and you go i have a income to even be there i was the only reason you're going to be going in is to commute go to work and do some menial task and come back out again and go back to

the suburbs they look at this particular area as a gold mine and the thing that's preventing them from being able to mine that gold is the presence of the people here are social housing they were they were cutting back on on the everything has a maintenance nothing to nothing is quite a liberally in this process we call managed decline and i think data is praised as we'll as we'll believe that a cheap job was done if that's praise but i think it probably will be pan not wealthy and when it comes confirmation of our worst fears and that that's a very deterministic and unpleasant war faction against info flowing in having seen many of us now see a wool fair by the rich in collusion with their mates in local government they didn't represent us they lied they car they deregulated it and it killed. the council's representatives deny social plans and they tell us with a straight face they care about our community i feel that the issues are about

social cleansing as you put it i can understand why people. explain in those wise for me the issue is how though how is this council going to invest in that area and invest in ways that delivers community value for the people they are not. moving the people they are out to somewhere else that's not an agenda or it's all so called regeneration is here our community we've wave after wave of gentrification but decades swept away homes and community spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues with. us where we feel like outside as the streets we want school are now full of tourists and the rich i can't tell you how many people i've seen move out because it's just too expensive you know whorish or sewer i've never felt such a difference between one of three off and them i'm talking cross on the ration if

we hear regeneration we know it means the generation we know it means destruction of any community now we think it's three of regeneration projects that exists now that every generation comes to your party would you best watch out because you look like if you don't battle against and stop them they're going to wipe out everything that you all did basically you know everybody's been pushing the regeneration culture yet is actually part of an polluting is that head we need to chop off because it's that beast that created the grand forks our fire. is that culture that created it and is hundreds of years old and they still see us especially the african caribbean population as their former slaves. of bitch and activists around here lifting grenfell's our he won countless times. about deregulation and the flowers in the fire safety standards he said only

a catastrophe would lead them to see and he was in the plan is not to have a plan and that's a great plan when you're trying to run something down into the ground you know because you just don't invest in it you don't you just it's just not looked after as length west we know maybe just you know just they allowed it to i mean slum is a is is a is a is a strong word but they are allowed it to sort of slip into a slum like status which is disgusting considering this power has a first of all had referred a billion pounds in reserves that we've been losing all of our public and public buildings in north kensington. the people that are responsible for that at all because they see a small caballo of officers and senior and senior councillors. they should have been keeping us safe in grenfell tower on the rest of the grenfell tower used to live on the first same floor. and rather than keeping us safe they spent their whole time in the whole concentration going around north kensington and

taking our library of lovely hundred twenty five year old north kensington library of a beautiful information center underneath the fly over. and any other public assets they could get their hands on including this beautiful building behind us the building behind us they purchased the freehold for twenty five point three million pounds without any consultation without even the local labor councillors knowing about it i put some of it accusations to barry cooke i'm not going to comment on that it seems to me that that's a very very strong statement all i can say is that i've looked at the issues that we're dealing with in relation to fire safety on housing on making sure that we've got people that you know directing the team when we're directing work ourselves to make sure that people are safe but obviously. accusations directly at some of cook's colleagues like former deputy council leader look field in maryland they had

to then massive master plan and some people praying in their expense from elsewhere on the current deputy leaders his property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developers like right field in maryland before the fire filled in mellon was working for a property development company slyly named socially conscious capital how socially conscious is it that while serving in public office he was also be in wind ten times by dismantle. this guy got rich convincing councils to sell off assets to his wealthy clients filled in million enjoy steve's five star lunches with him and pinching pennies from us. to look out the window and i think the only thing you can look out of luck if the school and your state so you would have been really really good is wake up earlier yet i want to go on that one that i saw. during the up down. to the state

nothing copy. filling crack do it with a touch of the paper. i mean one of three things. after a big middle finger to the people on the a fight or if there were crazy want to get out of here and he fell or not which is the right thing to do he said very very like we need to we need to go now at least to go no big money alone bankers have planned so where we live only we weren't part of the. local fight is against global enemies and structures. eight guys have as much money as hof the world because of the systems we are in it doesn't matter if you're in london if you're in their way this and that for you. when you have a political clout who are completely convinced that it's the consensus among them that the most functional economic philosophy for society is neo liberalism whereby

you have been big transfers of wealth and redistribution of wealth upwards and the idea that they. cut through the corporations that there is subsidizing of the arms industry subsidizing the banking sector. who pays the price for those things the people who are just by the backbone the heart and the lungs of the society is the people that really make it run.

seemed wrong why don't we all just don't know all. the old yet to say proud to stay active. and engaged because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on this too since mr bean it

behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking about the arc of what's next feel banned me from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink why not scratch below the right i should be sent to the town because i want to try to break me on the wheel but what i long time that this sort of nonsense you don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out in good company i'm in good company you're going to lose me you want to do this because we are freezing cold. i'm done some is not so is not quit place is not a good country. yes it is the minister to live

bunch of among us well above the response. to this but that us is called that is. the title of the culture. of the cult of less sure of the. tragedy of christmas. all in just a little embrace from a fellow muslim of oneself to be little. loosely albums fossil. play almost anything for the members of the base the dots they cut out a rod that john said on base that are much less tight no one can absolutely not the last color we are survivors from cannot make matter how not it is. from michelle to mean cannot. change from i can elude the most almost you are now words with a fuckin i'm a. cuckoo let's see this are from a small enough hours before you go to sleep i don't want to go to the snooze in the michael are poisonous or do whatever the sleep of. the cinema large other you have

a lot of it is. the seriousness of what. happened to me i. i. brimful tower was the center of our world the whole of my state the file on june eighth two thousand and seventeen but i hold in all. i couldn't

believe it. and i couldn't believe the size of it as well because it was almost on the whole of this side almost i mean you could see that it was spreading quite far you could hear it you could see bits of the crowd and kind of fooling around us on the street. brawl and i see the tower on my side were on the other side i was right but you could see the smoke circularly him i'm not sure when it was a. you know he looked up. you saw or at you saw people i don't even know if i at the time when i thought those people are going to get out it was so it was traumatic l.s.b. on traumatic and we're hoping that somehow something will come along and rescue them somehow we will not literally watch these people beg for help and burn to death in front of us and you know what happened a helicopter came and it came

within one hundred fifty two hundred meters of the building and turned back around now that turn around was the most heartbreaking thing up ever seen in my life the fire that fertile happened because the state the government and local council filled us in the aftermath of the fire out to continue to fail us. yeah i'm not i was i was with a shock to the first two days at this time for absence of the council and it was really shocking i saw i saw the leader and deputy leader being filmed on the first day looking up to a shell shocked as we all were and then that was it that gone and completely gone there was nobody there was no help we wait day after day after day for the council to step in and say hello this is what's nice to happen this is what we need to do nobody to date has common said actually they stiffed the sunnis with the way in they have to register themselves. right risen to survivors how to grow and.

document who survived or who didn't have all and that was going on for a very nature i don't know what the council thought was going on or how they fail to see the image and see but they seemed to in some way fail to see the emergency and that first day i remember thinking wow they've been caught with their pants down a bit here like bo but then by the end of the day when nothing much had improved thinking. this is a this isn't this feels like more significant than incompetence or shock even by requests from the council who seem less than impressed with their response i am concerned very concerned about its capability into the future and i think it's important that the council make sure that we don't have a collapse of services and that we stand ready to manage to manage services if we have to if there's an economic fighting on the part. that there's a perception that the council in the field of the fire power. i i

wasn't here in the in the week after the fire came ten days later so i hear lots of comments and i hear lots of conversations particularly people in the air and so on but i also hear from staff you know and as a nation that were there than did lots of stuff now maybe you know they people weren't aware of them but all i hear lots of different voices some from staff and counselors who are actually present at the time and didn't work but we didn't see or feel the council presence off to the fire and wonder why they still had time for things that clearly could have waited they can't so granted to see planning applications the day after the fire. they weren't around to take me in today even for the community but they were able to have a planning application me into grant to emergency planning applications with no committee hearings while the community was dealing with the disaster and the count

just tons of aid companies constructed by the council to carry out the but she will have a she began deleting things on their websites there with u.k. group delete it dissipates about their involvement in installing the small ventilation system in the towers main stairwell but we will began to hold them up what did they have to hide there were fears the council were doing the same thing. these questions. as part of the public inquiry i'm not sure answers we get the i'll explain later why i can be is that to be safe from the council building i was offered up. if you were right if you are ethical can you know organization you'd offer him up while working on this film the conservative leader of the council nicolas touchup announced his resignation he filled a med and managed to reach innovation that so deadly kept in touch to grenfell now he's advising big businesses how to profit from local authorities yeah i'll give

you the. route had you know. he was actually he's made a business of tenant of accounts who this is how you do a budget night this is how you make money off a budget and he was making a living off this off that he was he should be in jail he should be in jail. projected office to respond to allegations made in this film a week after the fire to rescind me made it official she apologized in parliament calling grenfell a fatal state the support on the ground for families in the initial alice was not good enough that was a failure at the state local and national. but for those of us who disputed continue fader's of state before and after the fire this was too little too late. failure implies that there is a positive intention in the beginning to actually fulfill this toss what i think we have seen is yes incompetence on one hand but this stain and purposeful money speak

of social housing in this bar in order to cleanse it and move people out we know that people that campaign against the council in there and with threatened with eviction vindicated in that. they were vindicated in that and that. is the most tragic part of this situation that people were not heard. in life and even now they're not heard and there's a strong sense that justice cannot be done to grant. a just and humane response has food in and def is to community and good but dignified has responded to the state's failings the silent marches they have grown with every march taken place on the fourteenth of each month the day of the file. the lack of justice is never less obvious as when my streets are filled of grieving families and survivors. is clear

now there was no justice i had in my mind from three days after the fire that there was never going to see justice this pill sadness song with some good stories we're not going to say there's people that made it out of there with their whole family and their life today and that's good and that's beautiful but. the problem was we happy about that because i know people are going to make out so this rage expects a rage. there will never be justice with this it's i personally believe that and it's just my own very own personal belief that that kind of only game in town is moving public enquiry there were fears the state's failings will continue to move into public inquiry because it is being headed by more big he's a judge with a history of controversial rudin's in housing cases where he has been accused of social cleansing this guy couldn't be further from our state and why the community people need to go to jail journey people lost their lives if we don't lease you

need to be receipt we would've been questioned we would have been found the whole of the team ok management team need to go to geo what would have been if they go and arrest the guys but not sat in on that the guys are sold the credit. and the guys who authorized the tenant to go in there and for that would have been perfect justice for me perfect and a lot of these a lot of the main players in these organizations or got connected. it's really each other they all have had direct relationships their paths are cross going right back to david cameron. who deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of grand felt tower. it remains to be seen with the outcome of the public inquiry and police investigation will be. but one thing we know for sure we will never trust the state and its plan to six inmates to keep us safe again. since to the community continue to come together not just to pick up where the council fails

but to china increase power so that nothing like this ever happens again because that was a tragedy what's happened has happened to that sort of and he said a lot of people it's woken him up it woke me up what a lot of people up and i believe if we continue to stand and make noise and not shut people out we can change this can any way that. we know from observing what's going on that there is a more contemplated move days or more for food amongst young people there isn't as much madness guy in the streets that was going on as before people off thinking about all. this is that people are being pitted against each other how do we deal with that and i think there is the opportunity to actually turn a lot of stuff around history is key to understanding the struggle of working class people in north kensington the area known as gold to people down here is the equivalent to new york's harlem it was the setting of

a counter culture from sound system to. after the war the fight against racism and fascism was the caribbean and the progressive white working class communities made history taken the far off the streets in the public space close at the bar in many ways claiming disused lands from the council one of the for the benefit of the community the history of is one of never. and then struggle up until today where we have the biggest threat we have ever faced gentrification some locals think the only way forward for our community is to build on the way we came to give off to file the state has filed the filed the papers of those kind of filed to paper the ground for it was voluntary. wake software's who people did things for themselves and what way things we can harness that spirit and make it a permanent thing when you look at the numbers that they were able to get in to depositions with there's no reason why we can't put forward now and pace yourself

that bismo reason why we call put forward candidates that we know that we know will not sell us out because they are beholden to and receptive to the movement for social justice which exist within the bar rather than beholden to corporate power in tightly enclosed time if we want to get rid of the tough from the south and about microsoft's independence and then bring it on real direct to vote procedure because the one good thing that could come out of the thought one good thing is the total new model of work and he's in the hauraki of things in the past is a great opportunity to do that bill for me from the ground up again i think it would be a brilliant thing. a council tax and. you know we all decided one quarter not to pay off council tax to the council and the whole of north kensington pays its council tax to a community organization and then you know facilitate all of those organizations already in place doing the work remember those millions that the council had in

a bank they could have spent in that wasn't deadly while we were filming this report the council buckled on the community pressure announcing that it would spend much of those three house in survivors in the local area where on track to purchase about three hundred properties before the second week in december we're looking to try to make sure that we can offer people properties a permanent we're buying properties in the local air and up in the ten and eleven who knows where we would be if it weren't for the community standing up for five months people have been in hotels the vast majority still my state is being gutted . reality for us but it will stop i've got my eye on a pool of joy my residents' association a part a campaign to take back what is outs maybe it's the only way we can survive to realise that electively we have we will go on with real real power to shape our destinies and to be autism's of all faiths and we need to seize these opportunities

and organize. and that if anything that is the phoenix that will come out of these that is an increasingly aware community of its interests. this is not willing to be pushed around. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night it was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to punch you know really what it

is that really packs a punch oh believe yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than booth nothing. to see people you never heard of love redacted the night not the president of the world bank hey i'm going to write it seriously send us an e-mail. all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the aussie team. recently i had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come on that story through history. thousand zero zero zero

zero zero i call russia. by fly strike. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good that there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton camp the people who came into power the center right has become the right. and there is no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized the aggrieved party. is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fiddlesticks mission to do it to you like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going up the study hall maybe you know john.

the only palestinians who gets the most helpful is to respond counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision could not only could do this. and the desire to this lady in the muscle that you have i'm not going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more. don't piss off. whenever you buy a russian product you're not just getting closer. to the little bit of this world. look at.
