Famous people visiting disasters
Discussion
After all the fuss about TM and JC going to Grenfell Tower, is there really any mileage in the rich and famous coming for a look? To me it just seems like they're being nosey.
Is anything gained from them visiting?
JC turned up and hugged a few people, has it really made any difference to the victims?
I don't get it

Who is this? Why are we using initials?
In the Daily Mail I've seen Rita Ora, Silly Allen, Brooklyn Beckham with bodyguard, and Adele.
Rita Ora grew up in the area, played with friends in the tower and one of her friends is amongst the missing (so I have read).In the Daily Mail I've seen Rita Ora, Silly Allen, Brooklyn Beckham with bodyguard, and Adele.

Lily Allen on the other hand turned up to play politics.
Lily Allen turning up to help is one thing , but her turning up to be the self appointed spokesperson for the poor is a joke.
She was born with a silver spoon and got where she did because of her father.
Now she claims to represent the poor but lives in the posh area.
She hasn't a bloody clue what it's like to be poor.

Sorry, couldn't resist Jeremy was born with a silver spoon and got where he did because of his father.

Politicians are not just "famous people". They are supposed to be "leaders" and "representatives" of the electorate. As a consequence of this, it is expected that they react in an appropriate way when something of this nature happens. Usually this involves some modicum of empathy and and a fair amount of prescience and leadership.
I'm not going to comment on the relative merits as to how May and Corbyn have handled themselves on this occasion.
However, there is a world of difference between the response of a May or Corbyn compared to someone like Lilly Allen or Bono.
