and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call from the let's throw throw three. thousand old jokes those o.e.c.d. brush. life drive. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good that. show it's seemed wrong. wrong just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days to come to educate and in danger make it close betrayal . when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i was born into 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 whose 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 trains living 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 a low incomes. go in 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 but into rio matured to new york but maybe because we're having such prime minister well. we had to live 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 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 liberty pass and maintenance and having to nothing has quite deliberately in this process we call managed decline and i think data is praised as we'll as we all believe that

a cheap job was done if that's praised what you think it probably will be pan that will be and when it comes confirmation of our worst fears and that that's a very deterministic and unpleasant warfare against both flowing and having seen many of us now see a wolf there 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 influence 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 of. explain in those wise for me the issue is how do 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 that's all

so-called regeneration is here our community we've wave after wave of gentrification for decades it swept away homes and communities spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues would be teak simply she was where we feel like outside as the streets we want schools are now full of tourists and the rich i can't tell you how many people i've see move out because it's just too expensive and you know whorish are so we're 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 think it's three of regeneration projects that exists now that every generation comes to your party would you best watch out because she's 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 including is that head we need to chop off because it's that piece that created the grandfather our friend. 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 deregulation and in the fire safety standards he said only a catastrophe would lead them to sea 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 look soft 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 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 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 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 emma. accusations directly at some of cook's colleagues like former deputy council leader look filled in mel and they had to massive master plans and some people bring in their expense from elsewhere on the context the latest his property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developers like right field in maryland 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 caught 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. the only thing you can look out of block is the school and your state so you would have been pretty unique in its wake up earlier yet i want to go on that one that i saw. there in the uk now. hopefully what happened to the estate and oftentimes if i. fell in crack there would be no touching of the pain. i mean one of three things is true. after a big middle finger to the people on the effect or if they're pretty want to get out of here and he fell or not which is why we needed a he said very very like we need to we need to go now at least to go big money

alone bankers have plans to where we live only we were part of the. local fight is against global enemies and structures eight guys have as much money as huff the world because of the systems we are fighting in it doesn't matter if you're in london if you live in their way is a rat free. when you have a political. completely convinced that it's the consensus among them that view. most functional economic philosophy for society is neo liberalism whereby you have the big transfers of wealth and redistributions of wealth upward and the idea that this. cuts in touch with corporations that they're subsidizing of the arms industry subsidizes the banking sector. who pays 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. join me every first day on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. here's what people have been saying about rejected a night of it you know exactly just full on awesome power the only show i go out of my way to find gently what it is that really packs a punch. yam is the john oliver of r t americans do the same thing we are

apparently better than buddhist at sea thank you never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank no paid to fund the many seriously he sent us an e-mail. and 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 going out to the saudi home maybe you know shot how about i just opened. the only palestinians who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world over vision not only could do this. i know it is unfair advantage to have to this lady in the muscle that you had i know if you continue in the doesn't seem to do more almost lost her temper to soften. rather

than. it was the center of all worlds the whole of maya state. the file on june eighth two thousand and seventeen but. 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 site almost i mean you could see that it was spreading quite far he could hear it you could see bits of the climbing kind of folded around on the street. a mock up brawl and i seen a towel on my sidewalk. the other side i was right but you can see the smoke so i can meet him and that's when it was our. you know he lets out. his sore it is so painful i don't even know if i at the time i thought those people

are going to get out it was so it was traumatic you know it was beyond 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 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. in the aftermath of the file they continued to feed us. and i was so 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 certain shell shocked as we all were and then that was it that's gone completely gone there was nobody

there was no help we wait a day after day after 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 they stay sticks and this was their way and they had to register themselves. right risen to the virus how to grow and document who survived to who never i'm that was going on for a very i don't know what the council thought was going on or how they fail to see an emergency but they seem to in some way fail to see the image and see and. that first day i remember thinking wow they've been cool with that poundstone a bit here like oh but then by the end of the day when nothing much has improved thinking. this is it this is it this feels like more significant than incompetence or shock even by request 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 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 you know and as i said there were there than 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 were actually present at the time and did 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 await the 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 small ventilation system in the towers main stairwell but we all 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 commuters ought to be safe from the council voting it went off and on. if you were if you were african you know organization you know from up

while working on this film the conservative leader of the council nicholas patch of ground announced his resignation he filled a million manage to reach innovation that so deadly kept in touch to grenfell now he's advise 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 recently 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 disputed

continue speeding'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 fulfil this toss what i think we have seen is yes incompetence on one hand but this stain and purposeful money speak like a social housing in this bar in order to cleanse it and move people out we know that people that campaigned 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 then. there's a strong sense that justice cannot be done to grant. a just and humane response has food in. the community and good but dignified has responded to the state's failings

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. it's clear now there was no justice i had in my mind from two days after the fire that there was never going to see justice this pill sadness song list 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 that didn't make it out so it's rage it's back to rage. there will never be justice which is it's i personally believe that and it's just my own very own personal belief that that kind of only game in town these movie public inquiry there are fears of the state failing to continue to live in the

public inquiry because it is being headed by a movie. 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 ate our lives we need to be rest eat we would be in question we would have been found the whole of the team ok management team need to go to zero it would have been is to go and arrest the guys but make certain that the guys who sold the credit. and the guys who authorized the cabin to go in there and for that would have been perfect justice for me perfect and a lot of these a lot of them a players in these organizations all got connections with each other they all have had direct relationships their paths have crossed going right back to david cameron . who who who deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of grand

felt our. eva manged to be seeing what the outcome of the public inquiry and police investigation will be. the 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 power so that nothing like this ever happens again. that was a tragedy what's happened has happened and he said. it's woken up it woke me up what a lot of people up and i believe if we continue to stand and make the noise and not shut people out we can change as can any way and. we know from observing what's going on that there is a more complete moon days or more for food among young people there isn't as much madness going on the streets that was going on as before people are thinking about oh so. this is

a divided thing we are being against each other how do we deal with that and i think there is an 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 set the bar in many ways claiming disused lands from the council one of them for the benefit of the community the history is one of never ending 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 the defile the state has filed the filed the papers of north kind of filed the paper the ground it

was voluntary at that weight soft was ok we 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 with there's no reason why we can't put forward now. pace yourself there's no 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 movements for social justice which exist within the rather than beholden to corporate power in tightly closed time if we want to get rid of the tough from the south and about like ourselves independent and then break it all real directives won't proceed because the one good thing that could come out of the thought one good thing is a totally new model of work in which he isn't the hauraki of things in the visit by numbers and if you do that bill for me from the ground up again i think it would be

a brilliant thing. a council tax. 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 we house in survivors in the local area oh we're 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 thousand 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 but will start of got my island of joy my residents' association a party campaign to take back what is outs maybe it's the only way we can survive need to realise that electively we have we all know what we will we will power to shape our destinies and to be on his arms about it so we need to seize these opportunities and organize. and that if anything that is the phoenix that will come out of that is an increasingly aware community of its interests. this is not willing to be pushed around.

i've done some as knots as no doctor could place is not good country. church because it is the minister they live bunch of among us loves. is your best way to get us to go that is. was that the culture. of the cult of less sure of the spirit of secular suggest pulling in just a little and bias from a fellow muslim of oneself to be too little. mostly albums fossil. play almost anything from the bible for the best and odd as they come out right that john said i'm based on the does not mean can i be not the last i would miss the writers from
