i was born to go full time it was my home for twenty five years. off to sea in the heart of my state i can't see. that not will follow me and my people is for the

rest of our lives. we won't see any shots of the faithful not in this film we never want to see that again. grenfell for local and good old reasons there's a bigger picture that i love more about every day we talk politics now and how we can take power because we learned that we have to look off to ourselves. grenfell changed everything. it did the consequences we saw fit to make the cranes loom in the horizon in different morph anyways no i live in cannes in the chelsea it's one of the richest areas in the whole country but the north where we live has one of the highest concentration of people of low incomes. the growing inequality is pushing so many out the area it's obvious global capital has no the god for people like me it's the same story the world over from butlins to rio madrid to new york but maybe. where was 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. 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. where they've 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 limit has a maintenance and i've been told nothing has quite deliberately 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 proved what you think it probably will be penned that will be and come confirmation of our worst fears and that that's a very deterministic and unpleasant war factually against both flowing and 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 light the car they deregulated it and it killed. the council's representatives deny social events and they tell us with a straight face they care about our community i don't 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 don't 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 it's all

so-called regeneration has hit our community we have wave after wave of gentrification for decades it swept away homes and communities spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues we'd be cheeks. 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 i'm you know whorish our sewer i've never felt such a difference between one of our 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 did a story of regeneration project 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 day basically you

know everybody's been pushing the regeneration culture yet is actually part of including is that head we need to chop off because it is that beast that created the grandfather off land. 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 had a bitch an activist around here lifting grenfell's our he won countless times. about the regulation and the flour in the fire safety standards he said only a catastrophe would lead them to see and he was 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 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 be casey 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 thirteenth 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 a purchase of 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 and 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 obvious there emma. accusations directly at some of cook's colleagues like former deputy council leader look filled a million they had to massive mass the plans and some people praying in their expanse from elsewhere on the context the latest his property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developers like to mellon before the fire filled in million 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 being wind ten times by dismantling. this guy rich convincing councils to sell off assets to his wealthy clients filled in million enjoy steve's five star lunches with him and pinch pennies from us. to look out the window. and you can look out of luck at the school and your state so you would have been really really good as wake up earlier yet i want to go on that one that i saw. there in the uk now so i hope you happen to be right and oftentimes if they. feeling crappy they wouldn't. touch it on the paper. i mean one of three things. i felt big middle finger to the people in your family or if they were crazy want to get out of here and he fell or not which is a very decent variable you likely need to be nice to go now at least to go to the

big money alone bankers have plans to where we live only we went part of the. local fight is against global enemies and structures. eight guys have as much money as hostile world because it is systems we are fighting and it doesn't matter if you're in london if you're in their way and that's really. when you have a political blow up completely convinced and it's the consensus among them that the most functional economic philosophy for society is neo liberalism whereby you have the big transfers of wealth and redistribution of wealth upward and the idea that. cuts in touch with corporations that there's subsidizing of the arms industry subsidizing the banking sector. who pay the price of those things because the people who are just by the backbone the heart and the lungs of the society is the

people that really make it run. her. when lawmakers manufactured consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the financial

merry go round of lives only the woman has a job. that's not to ignore middle of the room sick. i mean really really the world. shows seem wrong. when old roles just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out just they come out to play and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in

the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive to me like you know that this isn't my cup of tea is i'm going out to the saudi home maybe you know shot without a justification the only palestinians it gets the most help from is jerusalem counterparts i don't think some of those who endured over vision not only could do this. and not dissolve it that is jihad to this lady in the most of it you had an identical deed in the doesn't seem to do more. urgent because often. it was the center of all worlds the heart of my estate. the file on june eighth two thousand and seventeen but i hold and.

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 or most i mean you could see that it was spreading quite far as you could hear it you could see bits of a climbing kind of food around on the street. a mock up brought on i seen a towel on my sign book on amazon i was right there but you can see the smoke so i can meet him and that's when it was a brawl you know and you know the top. is sore it is so painful 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 and i'm a lesbian traumatic and we're hoping that somehow something will come along and rescue them somehow we will not need truly watch these. he begged for help of ben for different front of us and you know what happened a helicopter came and it came

within one hundred fifty two hundred mi is of the building and turned around now that turn around was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in my life. because the state the government the local council felt us in the aftermath of the file to continue to feed us. and i was shocked in the first few days that there's a total absence of the council of the it was really shocking i saw and i saw the leader and the lady being filmed on the first day looking at city shell shocked as we all were and then that was it that gone completely gone there was nobody there was no help we wait a day off the day off the day for the council to step in to say hello this is what needs to happen this is what we need to do nobody has to date has common said actually this this this and this was the way in that they had to register themselves. right residents the wives how to grow and document who survived to who

never are and that was going on for a very i don't know what the council thought was going on or how they fail to see the emergency but they seemed to in some way fail to see the image and see and that first day i remember thinking wow they've been caught with their pants down of a hand like oh 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 even barry cook from the council 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 i 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 you also hear from staff in our organization that were there then did lots of stuff now maybe you know they 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 a lot of 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 so granted to a marriage and 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 contracted by the council to carry out the but she would have a she began deleting things on their websites there with u.k. group delete it dissipates about their involvement in installing the smoke ventilation system in the towers main stairwell but we all began to hook 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 computers have to be safe from the council building it was offered up. if you were a kid if you were african you know organization you know from up while working on this film the conservative leader of the council nicolas patchett announced his resignation he filled a million manage to reach innovation that so deadly kept in touch to grenfell now he's advised in big businesses how to profit from local authorities yeah i'll give you the parts. 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 after 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 resubmit a made it official she apologized in parliament calling grenfell a failure of state the support on the ground for families in the initial alice was not good enough that was a failure of the state local and national. but for those of us who dispute it continue statements 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 its people now we know that people that campaigned against the council in there and with threatened with eviction vindicated in that. they were vindicated in death 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 after grant. the call for a just and humane response has food and on deaf ears 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 date 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 have 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 is be happy about that because i know people are going to make out so this rage is back to rage. there will never be justice which is it's i personally believe that and it's just my own very own puzzle belief that that kind of only game in town is moving public inquiry there are fears of the state's failings will continue we've been the public inquiry because it is being headed by more pick 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 my state and why the community people need to go to jail journey people lost their lives if we don't nice we need

to be rest eat we were being questioned we would have been down the whole of the team ok management team need to go to geo where it would have been if they go and arrest the guys but not sat in on that the guys who sold the credit. and the guys who were for the curtain to go in there and for that would have been perfect justice for me perfect and a lot of these unload a main players in these organizations or got connections religion. they all have had direct relationships their paths have crossed going right back to david cameron . who who deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of ground felt our. it remains to be seen what 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 has played a sick to mates to keep us safe again. since the fire the community continue to come together not just to pick up where the council fails but to china increase our

power so that nothing like this ever happens again. that was a tragedy what's happened has happened to that person and you said it was 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 a noise and not shut people out we can change this community to that way and that. we know from observing what's going on that there is a more contemplated mood there is a more forceful mood amongst young people there isn't as much madness going on the streets that was going on as we pull people off thinking about oh so. this is a divided thing we are it 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 kens in 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. the caribbean and the progressive white working class communities made history taken to far off the streets in the public space flow set the bar in many ways claiming disused lands from the council one of them for the benefit of the community the history of is one of never ending struggle up until today where we have in the biggest fit 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 north kind of filed the paper the ground for it was voluntary and wake software's people did things for themselves and what we think if we can harness that spirit and make it a permanent thing when you look at the numbers that they were able to get in the depositions when there's no reason why we can't put forward now and pace yourself

there's no reason why we can't put forward candidates that we know that we know will not sell us out because they are beholden to and receptive to the movements 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 you know real direct and not proceed because the one good thing that could come out of the thought one good thing is a new model of work and he's in the hard things in the past is a great opportunity to do that build from the 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 our 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 the

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 reserves really 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 property is a permanent way of buying properties in the local arundhati 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 not about will stop i've got my eye on a boom of joy in my residents' association a particular pains to take back what is ours maybe it's the only way we can survive when we are allies that elected me we have we will go on with real real power to shape our destinies and to be our is that of our faith that we need to seize these

opportunities and organize. and that if anything that is being mix that will come out of that is an increasingly aware community of its interests. is not willing to be pushed around. may. her. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each

breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like you it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. but holds his hands to you chandrika. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present. for some want to. have to go to the procedure this is what before three of them or

ten people get. interested in the waters in the hollow. there should. gun some is not so is not i can quit places not a good country and. that's if the minister. of family as well loves. you that's good at that as that is called it is. the study of the culture. of the. less sure of the secularists. just little or. no muslim of themselves to be little. mostly helpless fossil. play almost any kind of number for the most the last record our better johnson on base than our much less the titan american i do not cover with lies from trapped with matter how on amanita. from
