regeneration culture yet is actually part of including 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 had a bitch an activist 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 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 is is a is a is a strong word but they are allowed it to sort of slip in. a slum like status which
12:32 pm
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. 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
12:33 pm
of its 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 level accusations directly some of her colleagues like former deputy council leader what field in maryland they have massive master plans and some people bring in their experience from elsewhere like this one the current deputy leader says a property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developers go to maryland before the fire filled in million was working for a property development company slowly named socially conscious capital house.
12:34 pm
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 five star lunches with him and pinching pennies from us. to look out the window to the only thing you can look out of block in the school and you say so you would have been really really good as wake up and well yeah i want to go on that one that i saw. there in the uk now. hopefully one has been to be a state to be a fly. filling crack there with no touching up the paint. i mean one of three things it's true i've off after a big middle finger to the people on the effect or he's doing it because he wants to get out of here and he's selling up which is not anything to do he said really

12:38 pm

12:39 pm
what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you know loneliness and spending two to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on earth because. i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful day my great so will watch us with. at least this morning to. write. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us 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
12:40 pm
things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling 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 ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there were no other takers. blame that mainstream media has met its maker. it was to set of all worlds the whole of my estate. the file on june eighth two thousand and seven aim but a hold in all. i
12:41 pm
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 climbing kind of food around us on the street. brawl and i see the towel on my sidewalk on the other side i was right but you can see the smoke circulate and i'm not sure any rows are. you know you know the top. is sore it is so painful i don't even know if light at the time what i thought those people are going to get out it was such it was traumatic and at the un 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
12:42 pm
hundred mi is of the building and turned back around now that 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 few days at the total absence of the council until it was really shocking i saw and i saw the legion jeff zeleny being filmed on the first day looking at certain shellshocked as my old one and then that was it that gone and 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 to date has com and said actually this this this and this was their way and they had to register themselves . about residence the vibe is how to go and document who survived or who never and
12:43 pm
that was going on for a day that you 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 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 a this isn't this feels like more significant than incompetence or even by request from the council who seem less than impressed with their response i am concerned very concerned about its campus 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
12:44 pm
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 people 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 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 weighed 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
12:45 pm
committee hearings while the community was dealing with a disaster and the count just tons of aid companies contracted by the council to carry out the bunch of innovation began deleting things on their websites there which 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 out to be safe from the council building it when offered up. if you were a kid if you were african you know organization you'd offer him up while working on the sill the conservative leader of the council nicholas patchett 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
12:46 pm
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 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 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 disputed 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 fulfil this toss what i think we
12:47 pm
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 its 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. the co 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
12:48 pm
three days after the fire that we were 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 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 believe that that kind of only game in town is my move bakes public inquiry there are fears of the state's failings will continue within the 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 nice we need
12:49 pm
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 what would have been if they go and arrest the guys but not sat in on that the guys who sold the climate. and the guys who were for the curtains and order and for that would have been perfect justice for me perfect and a lot of these a load 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 deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of grand felt tower. 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 privacy to mates to keep us safe again. since to fire the community continue to come to give
12:50 pm
a 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 to that is i knew that 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 that. we know from observing what's going on that there is a more contemplated move 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 oh so. this is a divided thing we 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
12:51 pm
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 the far off the streets in the public space flow set 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 ending straw. up until today where we have in 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 those kind of filed the paper the ground it was voluntary after weeks off to his people did things for themselves and what we think is 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 their positions with there's no reason why we can't put forward now the pace
12:52 pm
yourself that 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 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 directive not proceed because the one good thing that could come out of a 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 course to not to pay our council tax to the council and the whole of north kensington pay six council tax to the community organization and then you know facilitate all of those organizations are already in place doing the way
12:53 pm
remember those millions that the council had in the bank they could have spent untold in that wasn't deadly while we were filming this report the council buckled under community pressure announcing that it would spend much of those sweet 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 when buying properties in the. local arundhati ten and up 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 won't stop i've got my eye on a pool of joy in my residents' association a party campaigns to take back what is ours maybe it's the only way we can survive to realize that you had electively we have we will go on with real real power to
12:54 pm
shape our destinies and to be authors gods of all faiths so we need to seize these opportunities and overnight. and that if anything that is the phoenix that will come out of these that is an increasingly aware community of its interests all this not willing to be pushed around. altie we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in
