Pickles

Dickens might’ve written him
The people ain’t forgiven him
And here he is
Large as lives
Blunt as knives
Doesn’t care who lives or dies
Has important meetings
And you’re keeping him from eating
He’s only gonna give you up ‘til lunch

Dickens might’ve written him
Cameron permitted him
And here he is
Large as death
Of wicked heft
Foul contempt upon his breath
Too important to be here
Which he’s making very clear
You’ll not stop him leaving for his lunch

Dickens might’ve written him
The truth has still not bitten him
And here he is
Large as prayers
Cold as cares
Dare scrutinise his affairs
His shield of importance
Bearing dents from this performance
Looks like he’s gonna have to miss his lunch

Cheers Uilleam.

The whole thing is political, from Heseltine's decimation of the Building Regulations to the shameful way the council and tenant management organisation treated the residents.

Folk who would not politicise the Grenfell Tower Disaster find themselves in the same camp as Tony "Disasters are unavoidable" Blair.

Thank you, Steve.
I remember the falser than faux outrage when I was accused of "politicising" the Grenfell tragedy in a poem shortly after the incident...the type of which I am personally intimate with, though thankfully, to a lesser traumatic degree.

Oh the irony! Cameron, the man who wanted one hundred standards and building regulations slashed and burned in order to BOOST housebuilding for God's sake!

What was all that about Britain needing to find its "moral compass"?...it's still there, at the bottom of the festering septic tank which British politics has become.

Thanks Stephen.

His appearance at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry dripped with arrogance. He made it very clear that he had more important things to do than be there and showed so little regard for the bereaved, survivors and residents that he couldn't even remember how many people had died.

I think you've summed him up, Steve. He was MP for my parents' constituency of Brentwood and managed to send a 'personal' letter to my dad two years after he had passed away.
