Thank you James for using your voice and your platform for this, you are an absolute gem and it is amazing watching you go from strength to strength but never losing sight of the little people. You rock!
If James wants to talk about politics he should discuss both sides, why not talk about Jeremy Hunt and his NHS cuts? It seems very bias to only talk about one of the candidates
That sounds more like an ongoing campaign.. he hasnt taken any action at all. He wont dip into his own pockets or invest any time or money into petitioning or protesting the outcome or lack of regarding grenfel. He doesnt give enough of a shit. Its a subject hes plucked from the past because it contains minor ammunition for a political war he should not be a part of. I dont remember this guy ever being put into a position to preach opinionated politics by anyone other than himself. Another comedian turned political comentator over night. And for the record i think borris is a pos too but the less respect his opposition give him, the more votes he will recieve because people see this shameless shit for what it is. 2016 there was 3 or 4 shows just like this dedicated to turning the people against trump. Its human nature to disagree just to convince yourself that you have the right to your opinion. Productions like this and cunts throwing milkshakes and being haled as heros for it all play as much of a part im ruining this country as anything else.

E H Johnson implemented the fire service cuts. Yes Khan was London mayor, but he didn’t decimate the London fire brigade, all Boris shutting 10 stations and losing 25 engines. But hey he did spend millions on decommissioned water cannons...
James Corden- Thank you! Thank you so much for this! This needs to be said! Thank you for highlighting this. Let’s hope and pray that you highlighting this can finally make some changes.
SAMANTHA RATCLIFF. Utter bollocks. Corden is virtue signaling on a subject he knows nothing about. And to suggest that only poor people live in buildings clad in that material needs proof which he doesn’t even attempt to provide The most likely cause of the fire is a resident recently arrived in Britain (which most of them were) not understanding how electricity works, set his flat on fire and then didn’t know what to do. It’s not long since immigrants were keeping goats in tower blocks. And any English person who complained was shouted down. But young people are not allowed to know about that sort of thing. What you need to understand is that as the native population is replaced by people from primitive cultures our culture and society will become more primitive - and it is.
The only primitive species in the U.K. at the moment- is you. The fire was started by a fridge freezer malfunctioning. It could have been a Briton or someone from abroad. The problem was the poor cladding which went up quickly. This is what the government are relying on for their votes. They want the working class and poor people to argue and ignore those causing the problems. The government funded the building, they signed off on the poor quality cladding. They still haven’t updated the cladding of other buildings since. They do not care. They are so busy writing anti-immigrant news in The Sun and The Daily Mail to push Brexit through. They are doing this so that they can escape the Tax avoidance law the EU are bringing in. But you will be too busy hating immigrants that are escaping from countries where the economy is poor, where the British and Americans have started wars to get their oil reserves. Once Brexit has been pushed through, we’ll be finding ourselves in the same position they’re in. And all because racist idiots like you can’t see what the rich are doing to us. We are all in the same boat.
SAMANTHA RATCLIFF. I take it you are very young. You don’t know anything about how things work. In case you are thinking of voting Corbyn note this. One. He supports the government of Venezuela which has turned that country - potentially the richest in the world - into a disaster zone with hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans forced to become refugees flooding borders. Two. His ideas were tried out in this country - and to destruction - from 1945 to the early 80s. They don’t work. Then taxes were very high, up to 98 percent so the clever people - the people we rely on to build the economy - either didn’t bother or emigrated. Plus the power given to the unions caused British industry to stagnate then die. We hardly have any industry left and the few bits we do have are really foreign. British industry died for several reasons. I’ll mention just one. New technology usually means fewer workers needed so the unions refused to allow it. Any of it. British industry couldn’t compete but lots of my friends - owners of manufacturing companies - closed their factories and bought from abroad instead. It was the only way to get past the unions. (When new technology was introduced into my industry we were required to produce the product twice!!! Using both the old methods and the new. Stuff produced by the old method was thrown away!!!) In case you are wondering practically everything you think is British isn’t. Those two new aircraft carriers. Very grand. Designed in France and assembled here under French supervision. Very little of the components are British. And think of China. Communist (like Corbyn) backward and poor. Suddenly they change to capitalism (even though a communist dictatorship) and in a little over 30 years two hundred million people (three times the population of Britain) taken out of poverty for the first time in Chinese history. They won’t be going back to Corbynism any time soon. Remember you have been lied to all your life, your teachers, the BBC etc have hidden our history of failure since 1945. All they do is condemn Thatcher (and Tebbit) who saved what little we still have.
@@maxmullen6337 You are racist and have no clue what you are talking about. It was a malfunctioning electrucal appliance. Ans it was the brits who put that cheap highly flammable cladding up. It was us who put people at risk, not immigrants. You sad lonely racist man
@@maxmullen6337 Old Man Hay Old Boy. What in the name of all that's holy, are you taking about? Lots of poor people died because some rich people wanted to be a little bit richer. They did it by cutting corners. As for BoJo the clown becoming PM. COMICAL😂 Grenfell fire started because of a faulty refrigerator. The type with the plastic back, the ones that keep catching fire. The ones that should have been recalled but wasn't. The same model that may have touched someones home in your area. You're WRONG about GRENFELL & now everyone knows it. Just as with everything else you said.
Respect for speaking up. As an Aussie I was shocked to see the fire and MORE shocked to see that 2 yrs on there's been nothing done about it with no internal sprinkler system. SHAME on the building owners. They should be charged with neglect.
Most of the occupants were immigrants, and the tower bordered on a very expensive estate in London, it got re cladded because the rich didn’t like the look of the building. They were going to knock it down but that meant housing the poor in the rich area with free £1million homes which obviously was not going to happen. Money talks in this world and lack of money is deadly apparently 😓
Hopefully there will still be charges of negligence. The police are undertaking an investigation but it's very complicated. I believe we'll also see changes enacted to our fire safety laws whenever the public inquiry is finished (probably at least another year) but yeah there are basic things, such as mandating sprinklers, that could and should have been done by now.
@@me-ln4pd Would you have sprinklers in your flat rather than have your own fire extinguisher which you pay for? If there is a small fire 10 floors above or below yours, all the sprinklers come on. Your furniture and carpets get ruined because a tenant never had his own fire extinguisher.
It was truly horrifying. To think of those poor souls waiting to be rescued....it truly was tragic and so sickening to witness. I pray for all those victims and their lives ones
It was like "Towering Inferno" in real life only without the Hollywood glamour. It's all the same. They cut corners, they collect the money, and the others are left to fight for their lives.
@@johnmckee7640 "You know we got lucky tonight, body count's less then 200. Someday your gonna kill ten-thousand in one of these firetraps, and I'll keep eating smoke and carrying out bodies until someone asks us how to build them."
Spongepants Squarebob lack of investment? They spent more then 12mil refurbishing that building, yeah it went up like a bonfire with a gallon of petrol thrown on it but it wasn’t due to lack of investment.
As a Londoner who regularly attends the monthly silent walks (14th of every month), and who lives a mile from the tower, I urge you to continue talking about this totally avoidable tragedy. Thanks for speaking about it on your show
A beautiful 9 year old, her baby sister of 6 months, mum and dad gone forever. My heart tears every time l see the one surviving child, raised now by extended family and bravely showing pictures and sharing memories. That pain will never leave us, two years and the dead still wait for justice, while the penny pinchers try to blame the fire service. We should not rest until those responsible are charged with murder
I really appreciate this information and James taking the initiative to make this well known. Our governments need to be held accountable and I hope they are for this
I’m from toronto, Canada and this disaster haunted me when it happened!! I still think about it and it’s victims to this day. Thank you for talking about it again, James. You’re the greatest. ❤️
Have to agree, Fallon is very artificial. Has some clever skits and great guests, but as a personality he's totally false. Stopped watching him ages ago when his over-acted enthusiasm just got too much to deal with.
@RUOK Says the guy in the comments on a TH-cam video. To a video from a "leftist propaganda" chat show. Yeah I'm sure you only came here to educate us intellectually lazy people. Tell you what, why don't you go and watch something on Fox News, that's not at all rightist propaganda nor is it for intellectually lazy people. And while you are stimulating your intellect, learn some 6th grade punctuation and sentence construction.
@RUOK "People shouldn't have to live in highly flammable death traps" is leftist propaganda apparently. I guess you really can't afford to be intelllectually lazy with all that mental gymnastics and backwards bending you have to pull to make your world view seem reasonable.
Corden you just rose a million points in my book. Well done for utilising your platform to bring attention to this horrific avoidable tragedy. When ome passes Grenfell it is the same feeling one gets when one visits a former nazi concentration camp; There is a deep heavy ambience and energy over it. The sadness and loss of life and lives is thick and tangible. The tower stands looming up into the sky as a testament to uk's and europe's disgusting capitalistic systems of depraved cuts to citizens, especially our most vulnerable, while continously providing more and more perks, tax reliefs and corruption in favour of the wealthy. There is only one thing Id hoped you had added; Support the organisation fighting for Grenfell; Justice4Grenfell. March with them. Donate to them. Petition your local and national councils and governments to be held responsible, while also holding the construction companies and construction lords and ladies accountable. Justice for Grenfell!!!!
E H Sadiq Khan had been in power for less than a year, after the 8 years of Boris cutting funding, as James mentions. The fire service’s efforts were greatly hampered in fighting the fire and this is a direct consequence of Boris’ time in office.
Well this is just great nice one James! I love people who use there platform like this. Im from manchester uk but grenfell, ariana grande bombing at m, e, n arena and 911 worst things iv ever seen in my lifetime, there are like 3 blocks of flats near me with that cladding on and they've still not fixed it. its awful to have people running the country who dont care about the people living In it, but people of London I think your awesome because you do keep talking about it and fighting for them who still haven't got homes yet and fighting for justice and the flats with that bad cladding on, and then manchester when the bomb went off at the concert we all just came together from all walks of life in love and peace it was beautiful to see, we're all the back bone of our country and I don't know everyone in My country but gosh I'm so proud of all of us who fight for each others rights and help one another because without people who do where would we be I just want to say thank you to each and every one of yous your all mint! God bless. Keep talking about grenfell and please don't vote the womble Boris to run our country, or we've all had it! jeeeeez x
Rob H. Colbert is part of Jon Stewart's children, of course he's automatically hardcore. Just like John Oliver, Jordan Klepper, Hadan Minhaj, and Samantha Bee. The only non Jon Stewart broods are Seth Meyers and James Corden. Now they can be both hardcore and softcore.
To compare Boris to Trump is just unfair. He's an absolute moron but he doesn't even come close to how moronic and braindead Mr Trump is, at least Boris has a solid education and years of political experience in numerous different roles behind him, all Trump has is a business he inherited and his own reality TV programme. I certainly know who I'd prefer as my country's leader. There are so many ways of discrediting Boris, but it's nothing short of lazy to just say 'he's the UK's answer to Trump'.
Unfortunately a large amount of people have bought into BJ's facade of being some lovable oafish clown. He is not. He is a huge danger to the UK and it's citizens. Just another tory who is more concerned with sotckpiling money he will never be able to spend, than looking out for the citizen of the country is is apparently "proud" of. Just because some twat got stuck on a zipline, and has a bumbling personality, doesn't mean he is not a vitriol filled piece of scum. The cutting of public services that literally save lives is enough evidence of that.
A humble thank you from us to you for voicing this atrocious incident which still remains almost unheard of 2 years on. Lets hope change comes about sooner rather than later.
Love James! The fact over in America he’s known for the late late show but in Britain he is known for smithy off gavin and stacey, bloody loved him on there xx
I’ve read somewhere that the difference between flammable materials and safer materials was very low. It wasn’t a big sum for the whole building. It makes it even worse. Thank you for bringing this up.
The zinc cladding had a melting point of 419 degrees centigrade. It was replaced with Aluminium cladding which melts at 660 degrees centigrade. Therefore, believe it or not, it was an improvement.
@@jezollie123 yes and what have the tories done to prevent another grenfell? what are they doing for the people who lost their homes to grenfell still in temporary accommodation
Thank you for using your platform to talk about the things that matter. This was a tragedy that should never be repeated and should never have occurred in the first place, and if we don't talk about it, especially in platforms that are widely seen, then the necessary changes could be ignored to the detriment of thousands
Oh lord. Britain, the world loves your architecture. Most of us can only tour your streets on Google Maps, but we still love it and we still wish one day we'd see it. My country is along the equator and we have too many slums. When we do get our gov'ts to fund another socialized housing, we hope we can reference them to countries with a better track record of building codes. Please continue to be our aspiration. We need models of socialized housing around the world to emulate and work from and get inspiration from. It is genuinely depressing when what we call the people of the first world is on the same plight as us over here.
As sad as the Grenfell Tower disaster is, and with over 200 people left without permanent shelter, changes the the Building Regulation can reduce the risk of such an incidents happening again. Meanwhile around 300,000 people are homeless in Britain, most without jobs or regular income with minimal assistance from the government or councils. Unfortunately regulations can't change this.
Much props to James for covering this. The Grenfell Tower fire was a great tragedy. You would think that the leaders would at least learn from their mistakes instead of avoiding them. What a lovely time to be alive
@@NaeNae23 I'm not saying that he should be blamed but he wss elected mayor of london a year before grenfell and the video makes it seem like Boris was in charge at the time whereas it was not him at the time. Khan had the chance to increase funding for the fire department but did not
I salute James and others like him for using their public platform to voice important issues and raise awareness. With all the negativity that social media can bring, this is definitely is a strong positive!
I remember watching this live and being soo heartbroken at all the suffering that could have been avoided if it wasn't for some corner cuts, what really caused me to cry was reading about a woman on up of the upper floors above the fire who couldn't escape and was forced to yell down and have to throw her baby out the window with the hopes someone with catch the baby before the fire caught them both.
Now this is James Corden at his very best! He’s incredibly compelling in his deliverance of this fabulous and mist worthy cause. James, dahling: you are a fabulous actor, singer & performer in general, but using your extraordinary talents to help others, especially the mist vulnerable, is worth more than several Tony’s, Oscars and Grammys combined! Good for you! Good for you! Keep that type of message coming! I’m breathtakingly proud of you! Clap, clap, clap!
Oh wow. This is devastating. And to top it all of, America has Trump, Canada has Ford, and now England may get Johnson? This is a scary world we're living in.
The English voted for the Tories though. Johnson won't just be the PM for England. He'll have power over Scotland as well. A country who didn't vote for him, or his party. Johnson will then try to deliver Brexit, something which Scotland unanimously voted against, and even many English folk are now doubting or wishing they had voted differently. Never mind that Johnson is just an utter wankstain, who will probably be remembered alongside Margaret Thatcher, David Cameron, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as the worst PM's in history. If not the worst.
Sam McLatchie Tony Blair wasn’t a bad PM until the Iraq War. If he hadn’t been George Bush’s lapdog he’d probably be remembered as a good PM. He gave Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland devolution. Unfortunately his illegal war was such a heinous decision it’s all he’ll be remembered for. Brown was just a bit hopeless and had no charisma in the media. However Thatcher was a cold, evil bitch and Cameron destroyed the UK for generations just to appease his bigoted cronies. My vote for worst PMs would go to them, but no doubt Bozo will do his best to outdo them for sheer shitness.
@@JulzDM how so??? trumps about to get a second term (deservedly). boris is about to get us out of the eu with no deal.. and the only one with the balls to do it.. id say, things are looking quite good.
@@rhaudriokeefe7951 I'll admit, I can't fairly speak about Boris or what's going on in England because I just don't know enough about it. I'm going off of videos like this. I personally don't think Trump is deserving of a second term. I'm also not American but I do get a lot of fairly unbiased news coverage on him here. But the beauty of it is that we can agree to disagree.
I live in a temporary flat it’s kinda like a hotel but it’s for people who are homeless and looking for a house. I honestly think this place is flammable.
J moxon Bet there are some people that think the dislike button shows that they dislike what’s happened after Grenfell, and not that they don’t like the video
This isn't just poor apartment and public buildings. One of the most expensive buildings in London where Lee Evans and many other famous people live in million pound flats has fire risk issues. The problem is that companies who offer to do things the cheapest, win contracts. Quality isn't known until much later after which the statue limit of liability has passed and they get off scott free.
I will never forget how people were waving asking for help from fire😭😭😭and the way the responsible authorities dealt with that horrible incident..heartless...I couldn't believe my eyes...I couldn't believe the way Great Britain dealt with that horrific fire....
Reducing the fire service had nothing to do with Grenfell. Politicians are not to blame. The cladding was the cause. Also the 14 not rehoused have refused the options given to them.
Fraser Hughes do you know what options they have been offered? Are they appropriate or suitable? It’s worth thinking about before painting them as ungrateful.
I remember seeing the smoke from my window in London even though my flat was 7km away. Thank you for using your platform and talking about this, James. As long as these houses still have that flammable cladding, we have to talk about it, and not let our politicians forget.

@@maxmullen6337 Old Man Hay Old Boy. What in the name of all that's holy, are you taking about? Lots of poor people died because some rich people wanted to be a little bit richer. They did it by cutting corners. As for BoJo the clown becoming PM. COMICAL😂
Grenfell fire started because of a faulty refrigerator. The type with the plastic back, the ones that keep catching fire. The ones that should have been recalled but wasn't. The same model that may have touched someones home in your area. You're WRONG about GRENFELL & now everyone knows it. Just as with everything else you said.
I love how you can tell how genuine of a place this comes from. Thank you for caring enough to keep talking!
Corden just moved way up in my estimation. I may even start watching his show. Thank you poster.
michaelmisanthrope hold on mate, he’s a Twat, give him another week and you’ll be hating him again.
"Hating him again" ? Man you've got a problem. Go back under the bridge.
I couldn’t watch this fat big mouthed C..T with me eyes forced open
Respect for speaking up. As an Aussie I was shocked to see the fire and MORE shocked to see that 2 yrs on there's been nothing done about it with no internal sprinkler system. SHAME on the building owners. They should be charged with neglect.
Annie1962 the building owner was the council
@Joe Brooks You're a disgrace to our country.
Most of the occupants were immigrants, and the tower bordered on a very expensive estate in London, it got re cladded because the rich didn’t like the look of the building. They were going to knock it down but that meant housing the poor in the rich area with free £1million homes which obviously was not going to happen. Money talks in this world and lack of money is deadly apparently 😓
Hopefully there will still be charges of negligence. The police are undertaking an investigation but it's very complicated. I believe we'll also see changes enacted to our fire safety laws whenever the public inquiry is finished (probably at least another year) but yeah there are basic things, such as mandating sprinklers, that could and should have been done by now.
@@me-ln4pd Would you have sprinklers in your flat rather than have your own fire extinguisher which you pay for? If there is a small fire 10 floors above or below yours, all the sprinklers come on. Your furniture and carpets get ruined because a tenant never had his own fire extinguisher.
They found the funding for the Royale cottage to be renovated faster than funding the family’s of grenfell tower
Aye, those blooding rich arseholes won’t be here for long. They’ll go just like the Tsars soon, very soon....
Surprise surprise
You just made that up, didn’t you.
very good point
It was truly horrifying. To think of those poor souls waiting to be rescued....it truly was tragic and so sickening to witness. I pray for all those victims and their lives ones
It was like "Towering Inferno" in real life only without the Hollywood glamour. It's all the same. They cut corners, they collect the money, and the others are left to fight for their lives.

If the Mayor was responsible, It was Sadiq Khan before and since fire. Plus all the extra deaths in the spiralling crime wave for 4 years.
Spongepants Squarebob lack of investment? They spent more then 12mil refurbishing that building, yeah it went up like a bonfire with a gallon of petrol thrown on it but it wasn’t due to lack of investment.

Boris Johnson looks like trumps cousin.
It is right

Have you met Trump's cousin
3 years today, and nothing has been changed, 56,000 people are still in risk due to cladding of similar being used in over 2,000 buildings.
And another just caught fire
@@darryljones3009sigh....
a year later and this monologue is STILL relevant
How the hell would someone not know about this...NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE???? Canada stands with the victims and their families....
You underestimate our insularity. Most people in the US never heard about this.
I live in Florida (I know, I know) and this was big news here. 🤷♀️
Because Americans only know about America because all that matters to Americans is America
@@littlemissladybird13 Holding your own country first used to be an honorable thing, BEFORE THE CUCKS STARTED TRYIN TO CHANGE THINGS....

Maybe Boris Johnson could use that £350 million a week to replace the cladding? *hint hint*
Yes
He made a similar promise about the NHS and Brexit...
Reece N that’s what I was referencing
It would have to fucking exist for him to do that.
i lost my auntie so im glad he's using this platform to bring awareness. i hope i get justice for the victims and my auntie
James' big heart started in Britain, he brought it to America but obviously will never forget his amazing love for his country.
As a Londoner who regularly attends the monthly silent walks (14th of every month), and who lives a mile from the tower,
I urge you to continue talking about this totally avoidable tragedy. Thanks for speaking about it on your show
Thank you so much James for covering this important topic- I have so much respect for this video. ❤ from 🇨🇦
Im in love with the badge that he is wearing.
The badge represents grenfell tower.
WTG James for keeping this conversation alive. It needed to be said...
A beautiful 9 year old, her baby sister of 6 months, mum and dad gone forever. My heart tears every time l see the one surviving child, raised now by extended family and bravely showing pictures and sharing memories. That pain will never leave us, two years and the dead still wait for justice, while the penny pinchers try to blame the fire service. We should not rest until those responsible are charged with murder
I really appreciate this information and James taking the initiative to make this well known. Our governments need to be held accountable and I hope they are for this
I'm still hoping Matt Lucas will be taking of the wig any time soon to reveal Boris Johnson is just a new Little Britain character.
RagnarSori I absolutely hated Little Britain but I loved his other show Come Fly With Me
The plot thickens 😂😂😂
I’m from toronto, Canada and this disaster haunted me when it happened!! I still think about it and it’s victims to this day. Thank you for talking about it again, James. You’re the greatest. ❤️
So impressed and moved that James took time to talk about this. Well done!
The more I watch James, the more I can't stand Fallon
Have to agree, Fallon is very artificial. Has some clever skits and great guests, but as a personality he's totally false. Stopped watching him ages ago when his over-acted enthusiasm just got too much to deal with.
@@christopherbedford9897 james can be disingenuous sometimes but fallon is on another level
@RUOK and yet here you are.
@RUOK Says the guy in the comments on a TH-cam video.
To a video from a "leftist propaganda" chat show.
Yeah I'm sure you only came here to educate us intellectually lazy people.
Tell you what, why don't you go and watch something on Fox News, that's not at all rightist propaganda nor is it for intellectually lazy people. And while you are stimulating your intellect, learn some 6th grade punctuation and sentence construction.
@RUOK "People shouldn't have to live in highly flammable death traps" is leftist propaganda apparently. I guess you really can't afford to be intelllectually lazy with all that mental gymnastics and backwards bending you have to pull to make your world view seem reasonable.
Corden you just rose a million points in my book.
Well done for utilising your platform to bring attention to this horrific avoidable tragedy.
When ome passes Grenfell it is the same feeling one gets when one visits a former nazi concentration camp; There is a deep heavy ambience and energy over it. The sadness and loss of life and lives is thick and tangible. The tower stands looming up into the sky as a testament to uk's and europe's disgusting capitalistic systems of depraved cuts to citizens, especially our most vulnerable, while continously providing more and more perks, tax reliefs and corruption in favour of the wealthy.
There is only one thing Id hoped you had added;
Support the organisation fighting for Grenfell; Justice4Grenfell. March with them. Donate to them. Petition your local and national councils and governments to be held responsible, while also holding the construction companies and construction lords and ladies accountable.
Justice for Grenfell!!!!
I'm Canadian and even I cringed at the mention of Boris Johnson. Come on now audience member, get it together!
We should be able to send the floppy haired twat back to America, but instead we will probably have the arsehole as Prime Minister. Ffs.
Yet your being lied to, Sadig Khan was Mayor.
E H Sadiq Khan had been in power for less than a year, after the 8 years of Boris cutting funding, as James mentions. The fire service’s efforts were greatly hampered in fighting the fire and this is a direct consequence of Boris’ time in office.
@@eh2842 You're an idiot.
Well this is just great nice one James! I love people who use there platform like this. Im from manchester uk but grenfell, ariana grande bombing at m, e, n arena and 911 worst things iv ever seen in my lifetime, there are like 3 blocks of flats near me with that cladding on and they've still not fixed it. its awful to have people running the country who dont care about the people living In it, but people of London I think your awesome because you do keep talking about it and fighting for them who still haven't got homes yet and fighting for justice and the flats with that bad cladding on, and then manchester when the bomb went off at the concert we all just came together from all walks of life in love and peace it was beautiful to see, we're all the back bone of our country and I don't know everyone in My country but gosh I'm so proud of all of us who fight for each others rights and help one another because without people who do where would we be I just want to say thank you to each and every one of yous your all mint! God bless. Keep talking about grenfell and please don't vote the womble Boris to run our country, or we've all had it! jeeeeez x
Colbert is hardcore.
James is softcore.
Either way, they're porn for the soul.
Colbert is hardcore?? Lol. This is why you lefties never win haha.
Lord have mercy. You are beyond silly.
Rob H. Colbert is part of Jon Stewart's children, of course he's automatically hardcore. Just like John Oliver, Jordan Klepper, Hadan Minhaj, and Samantha Bee. The only non Jon Stewart broods are Seth Meyers and James Corden. Now they can be both hardcore and softcore.

America: elected Donald Trump to be the president

🤣🤣🤣🤣
iiFrxsty Britain
no UK
well, parliament voted for bj, not the public
To compare Boris to Trump is just unfair. He's an absolute moron but he doesn't even come close to how moronic and braindead Mr Trump is, at least Boris has a solid education and years of political experience in numerous different roles behind him, all Trump has is a business he inherited and his own reality TV programme. I certainly know who I'd prefer as my country's leader.
There are so many ways of discrediting Boris, but it's nothing short of lazy to just say 'he's the UK's answer to Trump'.
More like: Hold my Tea and biscuits LOL
Well said, James. I am so proud you spoke up about this.
Who the #$*& is cheering for Boris Johnson?
american audiences are so dumb. They practically cheer anything every second
super sa he was in London 😂
Mrs Johnson???
He’s in London. Check the backdrop.
Unfortunately a large amount of people have bought into BJ's facade of being some lovable oafish clown. He is not. He is a huge danger to the UK and it's citizens. Just another tory who is more concerned with sotckpiling money he will never be able to spend, than looking out for the citizen of the country is is apparently "proud" of.
Just because some twat got stuck on a zipline, and has a bumbling personality, doesn't mean he is not a vitriol filled piece of scum. The cutting of public services that literally save lives is enough evidence of that.
Lmao that John Oliver impression is so on point
Almost 6 years and still NOTHING has been done, no one has been held responsible.
James this is so powerful for London and for the people who was affected by this!! Thank you for this!!! 💚
A humble thank you from us to you for voicing this atrocious incident which still remains almost unheard of 2 years on. Lets hope change comes about sooner rather than later.
That’s amazing that he talked about this since barely anyone is
Love James! The fact over in America he’s known for the late late show but in Britain he is known for smithy off gavin and stacey, bloody loved him on there xx
We also love him as Craig.
Gracie - Are you looking forward to the Christmas Special?
Thank you James❤
I’ve read somewhere that the difference between flammable materials and safer materials was very low. It wasn’t a big sum for the whole building. It makes it even worse. Thank you for bringing this up.
The zinc cladding had a melting point of 419 degrees centigrade. It was replaced with Aluminium cladding which melts at 660 degrees centigrade. Therefore, believe it or not, it was an improvement.
Wow! Legend, Using your platform to talk about this. Corden for PM!
Grenfell still chills my bones. This is what the tory government will be remembered for
Steven Cassidy what in the name of god are you on
@@jezollie123 yes and what have the tories done to prevent another grenfell? what are they doing for the people who lost their homes to grenfell still in temporary accommodation
I used to think James was a bit of a panderer and crowd pleaser, but this showed a lot of courage. Good for him!
Emma Browne How does this show courage? It’s the right thing to do and I’m glad he’s done this, but courageous surely?
Thank you for using your platform to talk about the things that matter. This was a tragedy that should never be repeated and should never have occurred in the first place, and if we don't talk about it, especially in platforms that are widely seen, then the necessary changes could be ignored to the detriment of thousands
really appreciate the way James approached this video and realised this importance
James: *Does his speech*
Boris: Oh got stuffed
i Pray that Granfell incident will never happen again, wherever in the world. Thank you Mr. Corden and God Bless!
Oh lord. Britain, the world loves your architecture. Most of us can only tour your streets on Google Maps, but we still love it and we still wish one day we'd see it. My country is along the equator and we have too many slums. When we do get our gov'ts to fund another socialized housing, we hope we can reference them to countries with a better track record of building codes. Please continue to be our aspiration. We need models of socialized housing around the world to emulate and work from and get inspiration from. It is genuinely depressing when what we call the people of the first world is on the same plight as us over here.
Do you live in Scotland? 🤣🤣
No Wales
@@emmanuelrobert208 that explains the slums then.
As sad as the Grenfell Tower disaster is, and with over 200 people left without permanent shelter, changes the the Building Regulation can reduce the risk of such an incidents happening again.
Meanwhile around 300,000 people are homeless in Britain, most without jobs or regular income with minimal assistance from the government or councils. Unfortunately regulations can't change this.
Go on James!! You tell the world! So much respect
Thank you James for raising awareness on this ♥️
So important to share this video.
James be staying up to date with them memes at 3:52
Amazing James so proud of you for speaking about this.
Keep it up James. Keep fighting. Keep bringing these things up. Call them out.
Much props to James for covering this. The Grenfell Tower fire was a great tragedy. You would think that the leaders would at least learn from their mistakes instead of avoiding them. What a lovely time to be alive
It's honestly heart breaking.
Boris Johnson was not the Mayor when Grenfell happened. Sadiq Khan was.
This video isnt clear about that.
Aye it makes it seem like it was his lack of care that resulted in the fire whereas really the blame should be on Sadiq Khan
Also made it seem a bit like we were voting for him! Americans voted for trump, we’re having boris forced upon us
@@Rorksen why should Sadiq Khan be blamed, I don't understand?
@@NaeNae23 I'm not saying that he should be blamed but he wss elected mayor of london a year before grenfell and the video makes it seem like Boris was in charge at the time whereas it was not him at the time. Khan had the chance to increase funding for the fire department but did not
btw every inch of the inside of that building was on fire. tragic.
Thank you for using your platform to speak on this. Much love and respect ♥️
THANK YOU, JAMES CORDEN!! XOX
Incredible use of your platform to raise awareness of such a serious issue James. Hats off to you!

Where you from England or the states?

nice thing to say Brian, thanks for your support. Love our American brothers and sisters, our no.1 ally.
The difference is we don't get to vote for Boris, there is no election, so not truly reflective of the country. Not sure if that is better or worse!
James, thanks for your sincerity and passion.
I don’t like James cordon but I appreciate this from him.

Thank you, Universe for bringing me here 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I remember watching this live and being soo heartbroken at all the suffering that could have been avoided if it wasn't for some corner cuts, what really caused me to cry was reading about a woman on up of the upper floors above the fire who couldn't escape and was forced to yell down and have to throw her baby out the window with the hopes someone with catch the baby before the fire caught them both.
3 years ago nothing has change
Can James run our country? The way he talks about our country with so much pride and knows what is right and wrong 🇬🇧 x
this man is so amazing and very talented thats you Mr Cordon off course
Huge respect for using your platform to do this. Outstanding delivery James Corden.
Now this is James Corden at his very best! He’s incredibly compelling in his deliverance of this fabulous and mist worthy cause.
James, dahling: you are a fabulous actor, singer & performer in general, but using your extraordinary talents to help others, especially the mist vulnerable, is worth more than several Tony’s, Oscars and Grammys combined! Good for you! Good for you! Keep that type of message coming! I’m breathtakingly proud of you! Clap, clap, clap!

@@stevenmcguinness4751 Fluent in eight languages but can hardly speak in his native tongue. Maybe if he's such hot shot, he should do a debate or two.
Thank you James for this, you deserve all the success in the world.
Oh wow. This is devastating. And to top it all of, America has Trump, Canada has Ford, and now England may get Johnson? This is a scary world we're living in.
The English voted for the Tories though. Johnson won't just be the PM for England. He'll have power over Scotland as well. A country who didn't vote for him, or his party. Johnson will then try to deliver Brexit, something which Scotland unanimously voted against, and even many English folk are now doubting or wishing they had voted differently. Never mind that Johnson is just an utter wankstain, who will probably be remembered alongside Margaret Thatcher, David Cameron, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as the worst PM's in history. If not the worst.
@@Sam-mi9wi Wow! Terrifying! Thank you for the info.
Sam McLatchie
Tony Blair wasn’t a bad PM until the Iraq War. If he hadn’t been George Bush’s lapdog he’d probably be remembered as a good PM. He gave Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland devolution. Unfortunately his illegal war was such a heinous decision it’s all he’ll be remembered for.
Brown was just a bit hopeless and had no charisma in the media. However Thatcher was a cold, evil bitch and Cameron destroyed the UK for generations just to appease his bigoted cronies. My vote for worst PMs would go to them, but no doubt Bozo will do his best to outdo them for sheer shitness.
@@JulzDM how so??? trumps about to get a second term (deservedly). boris is about to get us out of the eu with no deal.. and the only one with the balls to do it.. id say, things are looking quite good.
@@rhaudriokeefe7951 I'll admit, I can't fairly speak about Boris or what's going on in England because I just don't know enough about it. I'm going off of videos like this. I personally don't think Trump is deserving of a second term. I'm also not American but I do get a lot of fairly unbiased news coverage on him here. But the beauty of it is that we can agree to disagree.
I live in a temporary flat it’s kinda like a hotel but it’s for people who are homeless and looking for a house. I honestly think this place is flammable.
How anyone can dislike this video is beyond me 😡
Well said james
J moxon Bet there are some people that think the dislike button shows that they dislike what’s happened after Grenfell, and not that they don’t like the video
Lot of respect for you James Corden. Great usung this platform to share this very powerful heartfelt message.
This isn't just poor apartment and public buildings. One of the most expensive buildings in London where Lee Evans and many other famous people live in million pound flats has fire risk issues. The problem is that companies who offer to do things the cheapest, win contracts. Quality isn't known until much later after which the statue limit of liability has passed and they get off scott free.
I will never forget how people were waving asking for help from fire😭😭😭and the way the responsible authorities dealt with that horrible incident..heartless...I couldn't believe my eyes...I couldn't believe the way Great Britain dealt with that horrific fire....
Reducing the fire service had nothing to do with Grenfell. Politicians are not to blame. The cladding was the cause.
Also the 14 not rehoused have refused the options given to them.
Fraser Hughes do you know what options they have been offered? Are they appropriate or suitable? It’s worth thinking about before painting them as ungrateful.
@@bumblebee3489 Yes, rent free accommodation in high end mayfair flats.
I remember seeing the smoke from my window in London even though my flat was 7km away. Thank you for using your platform and talking about this, James. As long as these houses still have that flammable cladding, we have to talk about it, and not let our politicians forget.
Thank YOU James! It takes balls to talk about politics and be on the right side!
No such thing as the right side. I believe anyway. Well unless you are an extremist which is obviously wrong lmao.
@@leosteventon7732 you're right it's hard to tell what the "right" side is nowadays. I guess you just have to try and be a good human being which means having empathy for people and being tolerant of conflicting views.
