12:30 am
i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more chance for. the base this minute.
12:31 am
i was born to go if it's how 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 but 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
12:32 am
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 a low incomes the growing inequality is pushing so many out the area it's obvious global capital has no the gods the people like me it's the same story the world over from butlins to rio madrid to new york but maybe because we have as such prime real estate 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. where they have taken over
12:33 am
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 liver cancer maintenance and i've been told that he has tried to literally in this process we call managed to climb and i think data is preserved as we'll as we all 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 warfare against both flowing and having seen many of us now see a wolf air by the rich in collusion with their mates in local government they
12:34 am
didn't represent us they lied they caught they deregulate 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 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 does this council going to invest in that area and invest in ways that delivers community value for the people they're not. moving the people they are out to somewhere else that's not an agenda. so-called regeneration has hit our community with wave after wave of gentrification for decades it swept away homes and community spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues with bt. 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
12:35 am
are see move out because it's just too expensive and you know whorish are so rare i've never felt such a difference between one of three off and them i'm talking cross on the ration if we hear a generation we know it means the generation we know it means destruction of any community now would take us three of regeneration projects that exists no doubt every generation comes to your party who 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 me is that head we need to chop off because it is that beast that created the grain for itself and. 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. a bitch an
12:36 am
activist around here lifting grenfell's our he won't 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 right and 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 use it it just is just not look soft as lang west we're not i mean just you know just they allowed it to i mean some is it isn't 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 i see a small caballo of officers and senior and senior councillors.
12:37 am
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 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 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
12:38 am
got people that you know directing the team when we're directing work ourselves to make sure that people are safe but obviously level accusations directly colleagues like former deputy council leader what filled the mill and they had massive master plans and some people bring in their experience from elsewhere on the current deputy leaders his property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developers named socially conscious capital how socially conscious is it that while serving in public office he was also b m y and then dined by dismissing. this guy got rich convincing councils to sell off assets to his wealthy clients filled in mellon enjoy steve's five star lunches with him and pin up now hopefully what happened to the estate nothing's happened if they are. feeling crack doing with no touching of the pay what i mean one of two things is true i've off
12:39 am
after big middle finger to the people on the estate or is doing pretty well figured out a very nice selling up which is why we need it he's ok and i like we need to we need to go now at least to go in the big money alam bankers have planned so where we live only we weren't part of the. local fight against global enemies and structures eight guys have as much money as hostile world because of the systems we are fighting in it doesn't matter if you're in london if you're in their way this and that free. 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 the big transfers of wealth and redistribution of wealth upwards and the idea that there is. a syntax for corporations that there is subsidizing of the
12:40 am
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. hey everybody i'm stephen bach gosh i'm a task hollywood guy yells us back every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i thought of going to the owner with no doubt with all the
12:41 am
drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road to have some fun every day americans come home and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox a little swiss costumes are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times so if you go up with it it was abducted from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like picasso and modigliani i can't boards and sold in the side this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally
12:42 am
discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet thinkers they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport such a position that you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. it was the center of our world the heart of my state. the file on june eighth two thousand and seven aim but i hold in all. i couldn't believe it. and i couldn't believe the size of it as well because it was
12:43 am
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 climbing kind of food in around us on the street. a mock up brought on our seat a towel on my side work on the obvious i was right but you could see the smoke circulating and that's when it was our. you know he lets out he's sore at is so painful i don't even know if i at the time what i thought those people are going to get out it was such it was traumatic and 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 bend for deaf 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 back around now that
12:44 am
turn around was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in my life the fire that fertile happened because the state the government the local council felt us in the aftermath of the file to continue to fail us. and i was cern i was with a shock to the first two days of the title absence of the council and that it was really shocking i saw and i saw the legion jeff zeleny being filmed on the first day looking at certain shell shocked as we all were and then that was it that gone and completely gone there was nobody there was no help we waited day after 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 to date has com and said actually this this this and this was their way and they had to register themselves. about residents the vibe is how to grow and document who survived or who didn't have all and that was going on for a day that you i don't know what the council thought was going on or how they fail
12:45 am
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 cool with that pounced on a bit here and like oh but then by the end of the day when nothing much had improved thinking. this is it this isn't 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 of casey to him 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 fight i came ten days later so i hear lots
12:46 am
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 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 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 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 when of
12:47 am
a ship began deleting things on their websites there with u.k. group delete it dissipates about their involvement in stool in the smoke ventilation system in the towers main stairwell but we will began to help them out 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 building when offered up. if you are right if you are ethical can you know organization you know from up while working on this film the conservative leader of the council nicolas touchup wound announced his resignation he filled a med and managed 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
12:48 am
a budget night this is how you make money off a budget and he was making a mint not who live in office after he was he should be in jail he should be in jail. project an 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 fulfill this toss what i think we have seen is yes incompetence on one hand but this stain and purposeful money speak
12:49 am
of social housing in this bar in order to cleanse it and its people now we know that people that campaigned against the council in there and with threatened with eviction vindicated. they were vindicated 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. 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 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
12:50 am
sadness song that some good stories were 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 me 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 puzzle belief that that kind of only game in town these movie public inquiry there are fears the state failings will continue to weave in the public inquiry because it is being headed by mobic 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 jump journey people lost their lives if we don't lease you need to be receipt we would be in question we would have to download the whole of
12:51 am
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 them for gisors 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 annoyed a main players in these organizations or got connections religious. they all have had direct relationship there prof krause going right back to david cameron. who deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of grand 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 his plight is sick to mates to keep us safe again. since to the community continue to come to give a 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
12:52 am
a tragedy what's happened has happened to that and you said it was looking for its 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 contemplated mood there is a more thoughtful mood 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 it people saying we are being pitted 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 kensington the area known as gold to people down here is the equivalent to new york's harlem it was the setting of account the cultural sound system. after the war the fight against racism and fascism. the caribbean
12:53 am
and the progressive white working class communities made history taken the far off the streets in the public space flow set the bar in many ways claiming disused lands from the council one of this for the benefit of the community the history of is one of never ending strong. 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 they came to give us to file the state has filed the filed the papers have those kind of filed the paper the ground for it was voluntary. wait software's ok we did things for themselves and what we think is we can harness that scar and make it a permanent thing but 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 and pace yourself that there's no reason why we can't put forward candidates that we know
12:54 am
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 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 total new model of work and he's in the hauraki of 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. you know we all decide one quarter not to pay our council tax 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 are already in place doing the way remember those millions that the council had in a bank they could have spent in that wasn't that while we were filming this report
12:55 am
the council buckled under community pressure announcing that it would spend much of those three house in survivors in the local area 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 properties a permanent way of buying properties in the. collaring dopy ten thousand and eleven who knows where we would be if it weren't for the community stand alone for five months people have been in hotels the vast majority still my state is being gutted the reality for us the battles will start of got my island of joy my residents' association a party campaign to take back what is ours maybe it's the only way we can survive me to realize that elective lee we have we all know what we will the real power to shape our destiny and to be artisans of all faiths so we need to seize these opportunities and overnight. and that if anything that is the phoenix that will
12:56 am
come out of these that is an increasingly aware community of its interests all this not willing to be pushed around. may. her. about her sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry honey 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.
12:57 am
but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's 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. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline of the almost
