Aloha,

Huisvesting raporteur van de VN vindt dat de Briste regering 
waarschijnlijk de mensenrechten heeft geschonden in zake Grenfell Tower, 
voor en na de ramp.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/09/grenfell-tower-uk-may-have-breached-human-rights-says-un

het artikel bevat erg interessante inzichten in de politieke ideologie 
die tegenwoordig prominent lijkt te zijn iz sociale huisvesting. 
Kernzinnen:

“Residents told me they feel the government’s position is that they 
should feel lucky that they are going to be rehoused and that they 
should feel lucky that they had social housing. That doesn’t suggest 
residents feel the government recognises them as rights holders.

“The fact that so many residents have said to me they are not being 
treated as human beings is suggestive of a society that is structured in 
a way where those in social housing are viewed perhaps as counting less. 
And that is deeply troubling.”

Vandaag London, morgen Amsterdam? Onvoorstelbaar? Denk er nog es over 
na.

Groeten vanuit Fiesole, p+7D!
