Steve was one of the main guys campaigning to save pensions and London fire stations when Boris was mayor... I'm amazed that story didn't get more traction with the public but the Tories were busy dismantling absolutely everything at that point... Here he is giving him hell at the GLA... Enjoy your retirement! Any lucrative consulting work on the horizon? 😉
Yes, that was probably the main trick--there was just so much smashing and grabbing that fire stations closing was just another story in the local papers. I'm convinced that there's a direct link to things like Grenfell, but it's hard to prove.
The first fire crew at the scene at Grenfell was Steve's old watch, I wonder how many lives have been lost due to those fire station closures... I was praying Boris's place would go up in flames...
