“However, overly burdensome building safety regulations can stifle housebuilding”
Any examples to support this opinion?

Why does every single Reform representative have literally zero empathy. It’s one thing to think this, but to wander around telling people shows an utter inability to understand that most people have some empathy. All the Reform representatives are like this, on every issue. It’s like they only recrute people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

So he’s expecting people to read this and think “heh, based, empathy is for chuds”? This just sucks man

Let’s also get him involved with healthcare decisions, shall we?

If this isn’t an April fool, then the man should’ve forced to live in one of these tower blocks with poor safety that can’t get it replaced with his family and see how it makes him feel for a year. This is disgraceful.

>You can’t stop tragic things from happening
Um, yes you can. We do it all the time.
Tenner says that 30 years ago this idiot was banging on about how cars don’t need seat belts.

You could say that to anything, including some of their election points. Migration? Who gives a shit, because we’ll all be dead in 50-100 years. Taking away workers‘ rights to boost rich business owners? Those millionaires will be dead eventually, and their money will be worthless. Crime? Murder is just another way to die.

I’m gonna go right ahead and assume this guys big plans are to scrap building regulations and bring back asbestos.

So is he okay with poor safety testing meaning he gets burned alive? Because I’m not okay with that, even for him.

I normally don’t get that annoyed at shit reform do because it’s just a given they will be cunts but this is a new low the people in Grenfell died painfully and for no reason at all other than saving a few quid disgusting human being.

I feel „overly burdensome building safety regulations“ might be oversimplifying the issue somewhat. What a grade A shithead.

Except in this case these horrible deaths could easily have been prevented with basic safety measures.
But that would cut into Reform’s donors profit margins, so we can’t have that.

Something tells me he could’ve made his point across without being a complete bellend… Jesus christ!

Oh the class that oozes out of reform and it’s supporters.

Being around these types is hell. Used to work around them and they have zero empathy. Zero. Yet, if you so much as by mistake look at them wrongly, the whole world collapses.
They disgust me these types.

He is of course, completely correct, the unnecessary regulation justified by Grenfell will have far more harmful effects than the disaster itself.
Grenfell, by the way, was caused by flammable cladding which was already illegal under existing legislation, the government just failed to do their job at actually enforcing it.
wjw75 on
It is categorically untrue that post-Grenfell regulations have „stifled“ house building.
For a start, the combustible material ban only applies once buildings reach a certain height – so for housing, that’s blocks of flats. Secondly, when it comes to insulation and cladding – the cost difference between cheap combustible plastic foam shite, vs non-combustible products, is peanuts.
The combustible ban hasn’t prevented a single building from being built.
Literally the only people who argue against this ban, are the ones who stand to benefit financially – i.e. the manufacturers of cheap combustible plastic foam shite, and anyone who’s in their pocket.

Reform should go back to speaking about immigrants 24/7.
Their statements are as jarring as this one, but somehow people support them (even in this sub)

So he’d be fine if someone stabbed him because he’s going to die at some point anyway?
Cheen_Machine on
I’m just happy these cretins have peaked early when there’s no GE in sight. Hopefully by the time one comes around their support will have turned against them for spouting this kind of shit.
pajamakitten on
Have Reform MPs ever just considered not saying anything ever? They cannot seem to make one statement without uttering something reprehensible, so it would just be safer for them to never say anything ever again and hope that will win them the election.

I’m getting tired of the idea that empathy is a bad trait, it’s mentally draining- of course some might say “oh you like Trump and Elon what do you expect?!” And to you I say you have no idea then what cognitive dissonance is – many like me have been trapped as nobody either side has helped us thus I might side with either side. I like Elon for his rockets, cars and imagination, the only left leaning one is Starmer over here, looking at energy solutions at last! Spain seem to have taken a stance.

I live in Greater Manchester. People in the London media going on about Stephen Lawrence means nothing to us. Local news. Like the Grenfell Tower is nothing to us. Just being honest.

Do reform have a running bet to see who can sound like the biggest twat

I mean I’m pretty right wing, and think building regs need looking at, but this is a horrible thing to say.

That is what he said, what he was thinking was „it didn’t matter, they weren’t white British, it released some valuable building land“. And there are enough awful people in the country to make his election a possibility

Interesting comment, isn’t it. I wonder what he would have said if Grenfell Tower was located in Cumbria?
