    Infuriating listening to some people talk about this weather. Even seen a columnist in the Daily Mail calling the Met Office 'woke' for the extreme weather warnings. THE COUNTRY IS LITERALLY ON FIRE YOU DICKHEAD
    Daily Mail? You must have missed this thread on Sunday then.

    The absurd part is there will still be many that nod their head and say yep, countries gone soft mate.

    If people don’t realise that climate change is a real problem now it’s causing people’s homes to catch fire here in the UK then I’m not confident anything will!

    House fires aren't weather dependent...
    Ever heard how forest fires work? 

    Several major fires across London ain't a coincidence.

    They are for it to be caused by a forest fire

    The mail has hung its colours to the mast in terms of climate change. Basically ignore it and it will go away.

    Seen multiple comments tagged to videos  suggesting that the fires have been started on purpose.
    we've got no hope with people like that

    I know we’re only beginners at this in the UK but I can’t imagine how awful it is for those families

    Surprised Dartford heath is burning at all given the amount of Asbestos, and builders rubble dumped there!

    Im a London firefighter, if you consider that at an average house fire, the brigade will usually send between 4 - 8 pumping appliances, you can see what my fellow firefighters are up against.

    As well as the major fire in Wennington, there are also a number of other blazes today elsewhere in the capital:

    • Thirty fire engines were dealing with a grass fire on Pea Lane in Upminster
    • Twelve fire engines were tackling a fire involving garden fencing and trees on Uxbridge Road in Pinner
    • Ten fire engines were attending a restaurant fire on Green Lanes in Southgate
    • Eight fire engines were tackling a grass fire on Oaks Road in Croydon
    • Eight fire engines were dealing with a grass fire on Ballards Road in Dagenham
    • Eight fire engines were attending a fire on The Broadway in Wembley
    • Six fire engines were tackling a grass fire on Sunningfields Crescent in Hendon
    • Four fire engines were dealing with a grass fire on Chapel View in Croydon
    • Four fire engines were attending a fire on Sidcup Road in Eltham.


    Just some hot weather.

    You do a brilliant job, it must be so difficult. I can't imagine what you must go through with heat like this.

    I hope they realise now that it wasn't scaremongering.

    Sky News is amongst the very worst of doom mongerers in this country.
    They have been showing the same loop of the Wennington fire for over 3 hours now and nothing else.
    They are desperate for this fire to spread across London and create a modern day Armageddon!

    It needs to be shown so that those who keep downplaying the effects of Climate Change can see what we're facing.

    The entire city could be on fire and they’d still be trying to dismiss it rather than admit that the scientific evidence was correct. 

    People just don’t like to be told what to do.

    Totally agree. Even when they were talking about others matters they still continued
     to show the same loop of film, including a poor fireman being unable to pull the hose away from the fire engine.
    Started to feel sorry for him after the tenth viewing. I hope that none of his mates were able to recognise him.

    Some are desperate for it to happen rather than giving in to the 'woke left'.

    Bit like with Covid, they'll change the goalposts and say it's still been overhyped.
