Theresa May has visited the scene of the Grenfell Tower blaze where at least 17 people died.

The Prime Minister carried out a private visit of the scene and spoke with emergency service crews but reportedly refused to meet any survivors of the tragedy and blocked media access.

The decision was taken due to "security reasons", it was claimed, but local residents were furious that she did not stop to listen to their concerns.

One Grenfell Tower resident reportedly told Jeremy Corbyn, who also visited the scene, Ms May was "s***", adding: "Theresa May was here but she didn't speak to any of us."

3. That was how she was percieved on the election campaign

Having a Prime Minister who shies away from interacting with the public is not an asset.

4. The public or the poor?

What made it worse is that the royals had no problem meeting with victims

Sorry...but I think the Royals did exactly what is expected of them.

7. link?

Plenty of stuff on resentment towards PM..Not finding anything bashing Her Majesty...

8. Why would they bash Her Majesty over this?

She went to meet with survivors, unlike Madam Prime Minister.

9. Nope! and you won't, that's kind of the point

May: "Not going to visit, security reasons"...and then the 91 year old Queen turns up and makes May's lame excuse look that much lamer.

11. you misunderstand. what she is saying is that it made Theresa May look worse for not meeting with

them.

12. I didn't misunderstand.

I majored in English...
