Participatory democracy and all that yes, but that kind of smacks of "looking for a protest to get involved in" rather than being touched by a movement, so I don't suppose I'll bother. Actually, I lied, I just did, and what I got was: Demands include: * Full amnesty and permanent right to remain in the UK for all Grenfell Tower residents who don’t have immigration papers - don't agree - that's conflating two issues (a horrible tragedy and illegal immigration) - being involved in one should have no impact on the other * House Grenfell survivors locally by taking over un-occupied houses, flats & mansions in Kensington and Chelsea - over simplistic. What's "un-occupied"? Owners on holiday, away on business? For how long? * Reverse the privatisation of council housing and build council homes nationwide. - Agree with the need for council house building, agree that selling them off was dumb (and done by governments of all hues), not sure how you'd 'reverse' that (what if someone bought their council house and has sold it on to someone else, do you claim it back from the present owners?). Again, back of a fag packet demand over a pint in the pub, not thought out * Seize and publish records of the companies involved with Grenfell Tower’s regeneration and their dealings with Kensington & Chelsea council - financial records are already public (companies house), if you're talking about private communications then of course they should be seized by the enquiry, but certainly not made public to people who wouldn't understand them or know the context anyway All-in-all, that's even worse than I expected. Are there no grown-ups involved in this movement at all? Sounds remarkably like the demands from the Life of Brian

Are there no grown-ups involved in this movement at all? Sounds remarkably like the demands from the Life of Brian Yeah pretty much. The first one, I'd say a amnesty on the period of which you can claim asylum (i.e. those who had no papers, could apply even if they've overstayed visas etc. But no guarantee of residency). I think the process of replacing council housing can realistically only be by purchase of existing properties from the market, by councils or through building new properties. Hypothetically, I think that affordable rental housing should be a right. Whether its a one bedroom bedsit/flat, two bedroom house for couples with one child and so on. Nothing fancy or opulent, but I strongly believe that citizens shouldn't be spending 50-75% plus of their income on housing. Last one, yeah I understand, but if you do that, it can't be used at trial. Rather than just a public inquiry I want a formal through police investigation in the interim to establish whether any criminal offences need to be brought.

Who would of thought that Labour continued to decrease Council Housing Stock, yet blame the Tories for the same thing.

If I knew what I am supposed to be angry about, I might be more on board I'd wager that most of the protesters don't know either. They seem to be comprised in large part of kids who just want an excuse to run around breaking things [which, frankly, might have appealed to me when I was that age], guilt-ridden middle class white people who have been conditioned to believe that their very existence oppresses every minority group in the country, and people who are simply upset in general with their lot in life.
