    Just finding out what's going on, Sky are covering it live, so are Fox, and so are RT, so are Al Jazeera, and France 24. On the BBC 6 o'clock News some guy is drearily wittering on about Grenfell. Why do we have to pay for this useless, politically biased, organisation ? It's an embarrassment, a national disgrace, totally unfit for purpose.
