Asked why she had not met survivors and those who lost loved ones, Mrs May replied: "Well, I visited the scene of this terrible fire this morning."

Grenfell Tower: Luxury flat residents complain rehomed survivors will lower house prices | London Evening Standard

I am really happy the victims have been given expensive flats to live in. If that's the only place they can be rehoused then that's just tough for the locals.

Quote:
Journalist Natalie Bloomer tweeted: “Rich people with so much sympathy for Grenfell survivors but god forbid they have to live near them.”

And student Vonnie Sandlan complained: “This is horrendous.

“Plenty of sympathy for the victims of Grenfell tower, until it comes to where they'll live.”

I don't think that unknown politics are really geography based, are they?
