From ITV

Stormzy used his Brit Awards performance to launch an attack on Theresa May and her Government over the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

The London-born grime artist performed Blinded By Your Grace Pt 2 while being showered by water, making the Prime Minister the target of his ire in the opening lines.

“Yo Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell?" Stormzy rapped.

"What, you thought we just forgot about Grenfell? You criminals, and you’ve got the cheek to call us savages, you should do some jail time, you should pay some damages, you should burn your house down and see if you can manage this."


I quite liked the chap before this outburst, wtf was he thinking? Morons will blindly follow what he says given his stature, including Labour MP david lammy who praised him for ‘“speaking the truth”

I dont very much care for Theresa May but the one area where i think she faced unfair criticism was Grenfell, just because she didnt go down and give them a cuddle. I think Stormzy has overstepped the mark here.

Wasn’t he urging the cool kids to vote Lab in the last election....?

So another Momentum ruse in front of a huge young audience. A low blow indeed.

Not liking the way that it was done, & that includes past Momentum japes.

Tories really need to get amongst the social media propaganda & catch up with the times.

Wonder how much he got paid?

Yep bell end. How is it that we are so messed up that calling for 'rich and powerful' people's homes to be burnt down is ok?

Didn't watch it and hearing on the news what these idiots said made me glad.

I am a big fan of Dua Lipa wink but she said something along the lines of she 'wants women to win more awards like this' (what, like the best female award that she won? Muppet. )

Also said she wants women to 'take over the world'. So what she is saying, is all men must die...?

Yes because Sweden is such a success with its feminist government

I think he should be banned for taking a shower in public with no top on, it’s degrading to men

Talentless derivative idiot. Even his visual effects were a rip-off of Paloma Faith's performance at the Brits 3 years ago.

He probably though a flame-thrower would be too obvious. furious

Loads of free publicity. Rebelling against the establishment will always go down well for such musicians.

If he cared so much, he would be giving his own money away wouldn't he!

He’s playing to his target ordinance.

When did Teresa may call people who lived there savages?

Please feel free to correct me but did the Government not give the affected Grenfell residents immunity from sub-letting prosecution, immunity from illegal immigration consequences, another house to live in and £20.000 ?

Please fact check me and tell me I am wrong because all those point above came from various sources and as such are not verifiable.

If they fact check as all correct then no, I feel the attack by "stormzy" is not really justified.

“Not really justified”? You’re too kind.

He’s a waste of skin and should be charged with a hate crime; others may well have been.

A great example of being able to fool some of the people all of the time.
