maroonlegions Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Not into rap music but massive respect to rapper "Stormzy" for attacking Teresa May on the issue of Grenfell at the Brit awards last night . and also his wee dig at the Daily Mail. Of course the far right neo cons will moan like feck and say that music and politics should be kept apart, well tough,feck em. Hopefully he has set some kind of precedent that will encourage others like him to voice their anger any kind of future discrepancies linked to those in positions of trust , power and influence. Stormzy, shirtless, being rained on, soaking wet - after having just won album of the year - raps: "Theresa May where’s that money for Grenfell" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, so were is it then. And why still not any prosecutions for blatant health and safety regulations. Ask those who lost homes and loved ones in that fire wold be a better option. This government never lies though. It is not the first time Stormzy has taken aim at Mrs May at a public event. In September last year, he labelled her a “paigon” at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. According to the Urban dictionary, a paigon is “a friend that lies, betrays and isn’t true to you”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I find it amazing / amusing how often the attempted insult of calling people "far right" is brought out. It is extremely disrespectful.

Let's say it had been one of the block of flats in Downfield Dundee that had such a terrible tragedy. would it be getting the same exposure and coverage from all the media outlets particularly the BBC?

i8hibsh Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The amount of times Stormzy mentioned the fire hazard of Grenfell Tower block before the 14th June 2017 = zero. The amount of Grenfell victims Stormzy was friends with = zero. The amount of ****s Stormzy gave about the residents of Grenfell before the 14th June 2017 = zero. The amount of times I had heard of Stormzy before approx 8am yesterday = zero. The amount of people who watch the Brits = zero. The amount of talent Stormzy has = zero* *unless taking your top off, getting wet and talking fast is now considered a talent. One of these days we will see these 'celebrities' get political about issues because they truly mean something to them and not just because they are trending and they want to get retweets, column inches and likes. Is there anything that the Tories are not responsible for to the left? For him to think it is Teresa May's money he is spending shows him up to be an imbecile. How dare he demand Teresa May just gives my money away, how dare he. That is all these ghastly award shows are nowadays. Platforms for political and racial commentary. Each celebrity trying to out virtue one another. Truly horrendous. I cringe beyond any possible state of cringe at the thought of the next one. Next up the Oscars. I will give that (as always) the widest of berths. Celebrities all backslapping one another, trying to win the compassion battle before they speed off in their limo to their after show party, drink the finest Bubbly and snort Cocaine of top class hookers breasts. Utterly nauseating on every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
