are you telling me LORD pickles is inoculated from any consequences of his actions? i am 
and yet he had an extremely important government position where him specifically making extremely dubious decisions based on profit motive directly lead to the violent and painful deaths of 72 people
This is what "freedom" in the West™ looks like. Working class people dying for no reason other than to line the pockets of Lord Pickle's business friends.
and when they get caught, it takes near enough 2 decades for them to be prosecuted, with most just leaving the country or straight up dying of old age before they face any form of justice
good stuff. good stuff.
England is not a real country
Show
(Sorry to my Scottish and Gaelic comrades)
All good, but let’s just say Wales and Cornwall got slapped onto Ireland (which gets moved closer to Denmark) and Scotland is a quaint peninsula nation latched onto Norway.
If the Grenfell Tower disaster happened in China, this man would have been executed by the state within a year of it happening.
(And the clarify to any lemmy libs wandering in here… I 100%, unironically think Lord Pickles should have been executed by the state for all this)
Death to Lord Pickles is a very silly thing to say but it is 100% correct to say it
Really a missed opportunity, Lord Pickles would be a plausible name for a British cat, and that cat could ride on that guy's hat and pilot him like Cait Sith from FF VII.
Wasn't one of the people who resigned following the Grenfell disaster a self-trepaner who wrote a book about putting a new hole in his head?
a self-trepaner who wrote a book about putting a new hole in his head?
God damn it, if the McElroy boys have taught me anything over the last decade, it's DO NOT DRILL A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD.
F'in b-holes. (burr holes)
That guy in particular definitely should do it again though. Ideally using a shotgun
LORD PIC- who came up with Britain, Charles Dickens? Who's handling the case, Magistrate Puddlebottom?
no-one as they barely care about prosecuting their friends and colleagues
Puddlebottom-Upon-Cock, a very british town name or something, idk
Any time you want to know “how the hell is burgerland fucked up?” Look at The UKKK, might as well be called Burger Island.
So weird how we (albeit rightfully so) see child neglect as an evil done by the parents, but a landlord’s neglectful inactions leading to the Grenfell tower?
: “Noo, I should not be held responsible! I just made a big oopsie-daisy! Besides, who cares if poors get hurt? MY PROPERTY was damaged! I’m the real victim here!”Gotta love neo-feudalism, where the rich are both infallible gods we must obey and also poor babies that are never at fault for anything. Oh, porky “didn’t mean it”? Yeah thanks, that totally brings 70 people back to life.
I think it's also worth considering that the people who do support child abuse (and there are sadly too many of them) tend to see children as the private property of the parents.
Oh yeah, one of the most chilling things I learned growing up is that so many people do not believe in children’s right to anything.
It wasn’t even a political thing, even my conservative grandpa lamented that I didn’t grow up in Brooklyn, and that he learned so much independence in such an environment (unfortunately he was priced out to Ohio lol.)
But seriously, I wish that school did legit teach more to high schoolers that they are going to be adults soon and what that entails.
Doesn't this guy have a wife named DeeDee and an evil niece
Lord Pickles, Count Meatbrine, Sir Milkgravy, and Duke Porkingham walk into a bar.
he 100% agrees with the hexbear party line
