After reams of text about how we shouldn’t be talking politics and immediately following a comment that you don’t care about either political party, you throw in a dig at Labour? If you don’t know much about this situation then you don’t even know whether Labour stopped fighting or not. You know that their bill was voted down and thus is not law at this time.
You think it’s criminal that politicians would allow buildings to have inadequate fire protections. That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. That concerns about whether or not something is distasteful shouldn’t take precedence over that fact that there is and ongoing crisis in fire codes.
I understand that you feel that politicizing a tragedy turns the loss of the victims into a piece on a chess board. I think that is a symptom of us (as a collective, not you in particular) regarding politics itself as a game rather than responsible grown-ups making decisions about how to run the country, including life-and-death ones. This is not about Labour’s queen taking Conservative’s bishop. This is about how a nation decides to let buildings burn and people die.
