I was born to go full time it was my home for twenty five years. Off to sea in the heart of my state i cant see. That not will follow me and my peoples for the rest of our lives. We wont see any shots of the faithful not in this film we never want to see that again. Grenfell but for local and global reasons theres a Bigger Picture that i love more about every day we talk politics now and how we can take power because we learned that we have to look off to ourselves. Grenfell changed everything. It did the consequences we saw fit to make the cranes loom in the horizon and different morph anyways no i live in cannes in the chelsea its one of the richest areas in the whole country but the north where we live has one of the highest concentration of people a low. Incomes. The go it inequality is pushing so many out the area its obvious Global Capital has no regard for people like me its the same story the world over from berkeley into rio madrid to new york but maybe because were in such prime real estate what we had to live through could be a warning for you all so i set out to learn from those who are in the know about here and tell you about. They want to paris more due. Here where they push everyone out to the outskirts in a suburb where you can easily control that outside of the of the in a circle where they have taken over and you go i have a income to even be there i was the only reason youre going to be going in is to commute go to work and do some menial task and come back out again and go back to the suburbs they look at this particular area as a gold mine and the thing thats preventing them from being able to mine that gold is the presence of the people here are social housing they were they were cutting back on on the leverage has a maintenance having to nothing is quite a liberally in this process because managed to climb and i think data is praised as well as well believe that a cheap job was done if thats praised but i think it probably will be pan that will be and when it comes confirmation of our worst fears and that thats a very deterministic and unpleasant war factually against both flowing and having seen many of us now see a wool fair by the rich in collusion with their mates in local government they didnt represent us they lied they car they deregulated it and it killed the councils representatives deny social plans and they tell us with a straight face they care about our community i dont feel that the issues are about social cleansing. As you put it i can understand why people. Explain in those wise for me the issue is how though how is this Council Going to invest in that area and invest in ways that delivers Community Value for the people who are they are not. Moving the people they are out to somewhere else thats not an agenda its all socalled regeneration is here our community we have wave after wave of gentrification but decades of it swept away homes and Community Spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues we have beach. Where we feel like outside as the streets we want school are now full of tourists and the rich i cant tell you how many people ive seen move out because its just too expensive and you know whorish are sure ive never felt such a difference between one of our off and them im talking cross on the ration if we hear regeneration we know it means the generation we know it means destruction of any community now we think its three of regeneration projects that exists now that every generation comes to your party would you best watch out because you can look like if you dont battle against and stop them theyre going to wipe out everything that you all day basically you know everybodys been pushing the regeneration culture yet is actually part of including is that head we need to chop off because it is that beast that created the grand forks our fire. Is that culture that created it and is hundreds of years old and they still see us especially the african caribbean population as their former slaves had a bitch an activist around here lifting grenfells hour he won countless times about deregulation and the flowers in the fire Safety Standards he said only a catastrophe would lead them to see and he was right and plan is not to have a plan and thats a great plan when you try. Run something down into the ground you know because you just dont invest in it you dont you just its just not looked off as length west we know maybe just you know just they allowed it to i mean slum is a is is a is a is a strong word but they are allowed it to sort of slip into a slum like status which is disgusting considering this power has a first of all had a furtive a billion pounds in reserves that weve been losing all of our public and public buildings in North Kensington. The people that are responsible for that at all because they see a small caballo of officers and senior and senior councillors. They should have been keeping us safe in Grenfell Tower on the rest of the Grenfell Tower used to live on the first same floor. And rather than keeping us safe they spent their whole time in the whole concentration going around North Kensington and taking our library of lovely hundred twenty five year old North Kensington library of a Beautiful Information center underneath the fly over. And any other public assets they could get their hands on including this beautiful building behind us the building behind us a purchase of freehold for twenty five point three Million Pounds without any consultation without even the local labor councillors knowing about it i put some of it accusations to barry cooke im not going to comment on that it seems to me that thats a very very strong statement all i can say is that ive looked at the issues that were dealing with in relation to fire safety on housing on making sure that weve got people that you know directing the team when were directing work ourselves to make sure that people are safe but obviously level accusations directly some of her colleagues like former Deputy Council leader what filled the mill and they had massive master plans and. Some people praying in their expense from elsewhere in the context the latest is a Property Developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be Property Developer thats like a melon before the fire filled in mellon was working for a Property Development company slyly named socially Conscious Capital how socially conscious is it that while serving in Public Office he was also being wind ten times by dismantle. This guy rich convincing councils to sell off assets to his wealthy clients filled in million enjoy five star lunches with him and pinching pennies from. The window. When you can look out of luck at the school and your state so you would have been really good as well yeah i want to go on that one that i saw. There in the uk now. Hopefully when you happen to be a. Filling crack do it. Touching up the paint. I mean one of three things. After a big middle finger to the people in the a fight or if theyre crazy once they get out of here and a felon up which is the only thing to do hes ok about it like you need to we need to go now at least to go in the big money alone bankers have plans to where we live only we went part of the. Local fight is against global enemies and structures. Guys have as much money as hof the world because of the systems we are fighting and it doesnt matter if you live in london if you live in the way this and that free. When you have a put it to blow up completely convinced that its the consensus among them that the most functional economic philosophy for society is neo liberalism whereby you have been big transfers of wealth and redistribution of wealth. And the idea that they. Are poor bray sions that there is subsidizing the arms industry subsidizing the banking sector. Who pays the price but i think. The people who are just by the backbone the heart and the lungs of the society is the people that really make it run. The best. Place for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the families its the age of the superman each killion a loan to spend spend each image of the twenty million and one player. Its an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game like great so what more chance for. Peace is going to. In the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox ellis was customs are here permanently on the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening time so it will show up was it it was it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so annoyed leon cant boards and sold inside this warehouse thats where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet stealth but also discreet thinkers they concern fraud of some of those paintings a link to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the Geneva Freeport such a place like china will never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business. To. Cut off. The scent of all worlds the whole of my estate the file on june eighth two thousand and seventeen but a hold in all i. Couldnt believe it. And i couldnt believe the size of it as well because it was almost on the whole of this size almost i mean you could see that it was spreading quite far you could hear it you could see bits of the club in kind of fooling around on the street. Brawl and i seen a towel on my sidewalk on the other side i was right but you can see the smoke circulating and thats when it was a. You know he lets out you saw or it is so painful i dont even know if i at the time why i thought those people are going to get out it was so it was traumatic you know a lesbian traumatic and were hoping that somehow something will come along and rescue them somehow we will not literally watch these people beg for help and bend to death in front of us and you know what happened a helicopter came and it came within one hundred fifty two hundred mi is of the building and turned back around now that turn around was the most heartbreaking thing ive ever seen in my life the fire that fertile happened because the state the Government Local Council felt us in the aftermath of the file to continue to feed us. Yeah and i was i was with a shock to the first few days that the total absence of the council of the it was really shocking i saw and i saw the legion gentility being filmed on the first day looking at city shell shocked as we all were and then that was it that gone completely gone there was nobody there was no help we wait a day after day after day for the council to step in to say hello this is what needs to happen this is what we need to do nobody wants to date has come and said actually this base this and this was the way in that they had to register themselves. About resistance the virus how to grow and document who survived to who i met was going on for a very i dont know. What the council thought was going on or how they fail to see nugent c. But they seem to in some way fail to see the emergency and that first day i remember thinking wow theyve been caught with their pants down a bit here like bo but then by the end of the day when nothing much had improved thinking. This is a this isnt this feels like more significant than incompetence or even by request from the council who seem less than impressed with their response i am concerned very concerned about its capability into the future and i think its important that the council make sure that we dont have a collapse of services and that we stand ready to manage to manage services if we have to if theres an economic fighting on the part. That theres a perception that the counsel in the field after the fire. I i wasnt here in the in the week after the fire i came ten days later so i hear lots of comments and i hear lots of conversations particularly people in the air and so on but you also hear from staff you know and as i said there were there than did lots of stuff now maybe you know they werent aware of them but all i hear lots of different voices some from staff and counselors who were actually present at the time and did lot of work but we didnt see or feel the Council Presence off to the fire and wonder why they still had time for things that clearly could have waited they can so granted to a marriage and see planning applications the day after the fire. They werent around to take me in today even for the community but they were able to have a planning application me into grant Emergency Planning applications with no Committee Hearings while the community was dealing with the disaster and the count just tons of Aid Companies contracted by the council to carry out the but she would have a she began deleting things on their websites there with u. K. Group delete it dissipates about their involvement in installing the small ventilation system in the towers main stairwell but we all began to hook them up what did they have to hide there were fears the council were doing the same thing. These questions. As part of the Public Inquiry im not sure answers we get the ill explain later why not to be safe from the Council Building i was offered up. If you were right if you were african you know organization youd offer him up while working under seal the conservative leader of the council nicolas touchup wound announced his resignation he filled a million managed to reach innovation that so deadly kept in touch to grenfell now hes advise in big businesses how to profit from local authorities yeah ill give you the parts. He was actually hes made a business of tenant of accounts who this is how you do a budget night this is how you make money off a budget and he was making a living off this after he was he should be in jail he should be in jail. Projected office to respond to allegations made in this film a week after the fire to recently made it official she apologized in parliament calling grenfell a fatal state the support on the ground for families in the initial alice was not good enough that was a failure of the state local and national. But for those of us who disputed continue speedings of state before and after the fire this was too little too late. Failure implies that there is a positive intention in the beginning to actually fulfill this toss what i think we have seen is yes incompetence on one hand but this stain and purposeful money speak of social housing in this bar in order to cleanse it and its people now we know that people that campaign against the council in there and with threatened with eviction vindicated. They were vindicated in death and that is the most tragic part of this situation that people were not heard. In life and even now theyre not heard and. Theres a strong sense that justice cannot be done to grant. The call for a just and humane response has food and on deaf ears to community and good but dignified has responded to the states failings to silent marches they have grown with every march taken place on the fourteenth of each month the date of the file. The lack of justice is never less obvious as when my streets are filled of grieving families and survivors. Its clear now there was no justice i had in my mind from three days after the fire that there was never going to see justice this pill sadness song with some good stories were not going to say theres people that made it out of there with their whole family and their life today and thats good and thats beautiful but. The problem was we happy about that because i know people are going to make out so this rage is back to rage. There will never be justice which is its i personally believe that and its just my own very own puzzle believe that that kind of only game in town is my move bakes Public Inquiry there are fears the states failings will continue to move into Public Inquiry because it is being headed by more big hes a judge with a history of controversial rudins in housing cases where he has been accused of social cleansing this guy couldnt be further from our state and why the Community People need to go to jail journey people lost their lives if we dont nice we need to be rest eat we would be in question we would have to download the whole of the team ok Management Team need to go to geo where it would have been if they go and arrest the guys but not sat in on the geysers sol because i didnt. And the guys who authorized the curtains ago long before that would have been perfect justice for me perfect and a lot of these unload a main players in these organizations or got connections religion. They all have had direct relationships their paths are cross going right back to david cameron. Who deregulated fire safety and live within walking distance of grand felt tower. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the Public Inquiry and Police Investigation will be. But one thing we know for sure we will never trust the state and its played a sick to mates to keep us safe again. Since to fire the community continue to come together not just to pick up where the council fails but to china increase our power so that nothing like this ever happens again. That was a tragedy whats happened has happened but is it and you said it was a lot of people up its woken up it woke me up what a lot of people up and i believe if we continue to stand and make a noise and not shut people out we can change this can any way that. We know from observing whats going on that there is a more contemplated mood there is a more thoughtful mood amongst young people there isnt as much madness going on the streets that was going on as before people off thinking about oh so. This is it people i didnt roofing we are being pitted against each other how do we deal with that and i think there is the opportunity to actually turn a lot of stuff around history is key to understanding the struggle of working class people in North Kensington the area known as gold to people down here is the equivalent to new yorks harlem it was the setting of a Counter Culture from sound system to. After the war the fight against racism and fascism. The caribbean and the progressive White Working Class communities made history taken the far off the streets in the public space flow set the bar in many ways claiming disused lands from the council one of those for the benefit of the community the history of is one of never ending straw. Up until today where we have the biggest threat we have ever faced gentrification some locals think the only way forward for our community is to build on the way we came to give off to file the state has filed the filed the papers of those kind of filed the paper the ground it was voluntary after weeks after his people did things for themselves and what way fingers we can harness that spirit and make it a permanent thing when you look at the numbers that they were able to get in their positions with theres no reason why we cant put forward now and pace yourself theres no reason why we cant put forward candidates that we know that we know will not sell us out because they are beholden to and receptive to the movements for social justice which exist within the rather beholden to Corporate Power in tightly enclosed time if we want to get rid of the tough from the south and about microsofts independence and then bring it on you know really directed not proceed because the one good thing that could come out of the thought one good thing is a total new model of work and hes in the hauraki of things in the past is a great opportunity to do that build from the from the ground up again i think it would be a brilliant thing. A council tax. You know we all decide one quarter not to pay our council tax the council and the whole of North Kensington pays its council tax to a Community Organization and then you know facilitate all of those organizations are already in place doing the way remember those millions that the council had in a bank they could have spent in that wasnt deadly while we were filming this report the council buckled under Community Pressure announcing that it would spend much of those sweet house in survivors in the local area where on track to purchase about three hundred properties before the second week in december were looking to try to make sure that we can offer People Properties a permanent way of buying properties in the. Local arundhati ten and eleven who knows where we would be if it werent for the Community Stand alone for five months people have been in hotels the vast majority still my state is being gutted the reality for us but will start of got my island of joy my Residents Association a Party Campaign to take back what is outs maybe its the only way we can survive to realize that you have electively we have we all know what we will we will power to shape our destiny and to be autisms of all faiths that we need to seize these opportunities and overnight parents and that if anything that is the phoenix that will come out of these that is an increasingly Aware Community of its interests. Of this not willing to be pushed around. I had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. Im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london well you got to be honest because i cut the glory like. You know to some of it will still give up food for the homeless. But you dont really feel like you have the big you know. And then. The guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion United States dollars pass through most often sake in the amount of time that weve been in Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows a lot of money it really is. Journalism its an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of most fun psycho documents where examine. All the people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of war newspaper. And probably other politician which was tough talking other politicians the media would point to find targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several Prime Ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. Oh my god ive had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to go especially good oh lots of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage.
