Not just the present Conservative (Tory) government of Prime Minister Theresa May. But decades of successive British governments that have systematically abandoned impoverished communities because they are too busy ensuring the richest members of society suck up even more wealth.
Years of public spending "austerity" cuts are directly related to why people died in this week's inferno in London. Those systematic spending cuts - which have provided tax breaks for the rich over the decades - are the reason why so many people are forced to live in unsafe, shoddy accommodation. It's a despicable sign of the callous priorities of successive British governments.
No wonder when Prime Minister May visited the smoldering tower block her political minders kept her well away from the shell-shocked residents. There is widespread public disgust that Britain is not merely witnessing a tragic fire accident, but rather a case of "corporate manslaughter" as one furious Labour politician called it.
Comment: Western government's continued invasions of Muslim and Arab countries and support of ISIS and other terrorist groups is the primary reason for the growth of the Islamic State.
