Stormzy’s attack on TM, justified or not?

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.

He’s playing to his target ordinance.

When did Teresa may call people who lived there savages?

I assumed he used the word "savages" because it rhymed with "damages"....

Which I suppose is quite clever.





Ian

he could have used 'cabbages',.....

I think this is probably the worst part of it all, im pretty sure TM has never uttered the words savages directed at those caught up in grenfall, and for him to be broadcasting this to millions is damn right disgusting.

Also the residents of grenfall got quite a good deal out of it, have you seen the government documents on the money raised (26 million quid) and the handsome funds dished out to those injured, something silly like 30k if you were more than 7 days in hospital. And this fker has the cheek to suggest no money cane their way.

I dont expect the government to lower themselves to the mud slinging lefties but they should at least stand up for themselves and correct the nonsense and blatent lies.
