Presumably everyone involved was insured... :-X





Exactly my thoughts ................


If my house went up in flames and people was killed, would there be such a outpouring of grief ?

Would they f**k  >:(

A block of flats in londistan full of illegal immigrants who have f**k all right to be there anyway migrants goes up in flames and there is a massive outpouring of grief  >:(
Quick, roll out that tax dodging pikey bastard Sir Bob and lets all have a concert so we can ALL feel guilty and put our hands in our pockets for them  >:(
Maybe Elton can do another rendition of candle in the wind too  ::) >:(

What happened is tragic and I wouldn't wish that death on anybody. Well maybe one or two  :-X :-X
But FFS, can we for once keep things in prospective ??

Yes, feel for the poor bastards and have a whip around.
Find out why the insulation went up like that and regardless of cost, enforce changes to the building regs and make landlords put it right.

If laws have been broken, hammer the bastards responsible but please, stop this "I want to be a victim too" shite  :y


Motion carried, and voted for.

I was bored with it the day after it happened.  But as its London, I supposed the papers and broadcast media will keep stoking the fire.

Same as the Manchester thing last year.  Do we really need an anniversary celebration of it?  I think, though, that's mostly the BBC trying to keep that one alive, seeing as they are based there.


TBH, any sympathy I had at the time seems to be turning to disinterest, even anger.

Celotex no longer supply an external cladding solution for buildings over 18m tall.

https://inform.celotex.co.uk/

Rockwool is a better solution from the fire retardent point of view but any leaks means it absorbs water whereas Celotex doesn't.

This situation has all come about due to EU tree huggers, where building insulation must be improved but they did no performance and safety studies on suitable materials which should have been done as part of the directive. :( :( :(

Funny thing I’m fed up of all this on tele too, needs more of us to stop this shite.
Everything’s turning into this social media based crap. I’m liking the comments

It’s not really a tree-hugger EU thing to mandate that people have houses that aren’t unaffordable to heat though is it?

Also, tests were done, just not with the air gaps in place that were in place in the specific application that made the fire worse. It would be pretty unworkable to test a building material in each application in which it might be placed. 

There’s current media noise that some time after testing the manufacturer changed the spec to make the material less fire retardant but didn’t reapply for testing. If true, then clearly the manufacturer is culpable and should be brought to book.

It could well be the case that no one is at fault for what happened. However I doubt the kangaroo court of public opinion will support that conclusion. So all scapegoats need to take one quick pace forward.  ::)

Good, we agree then.  ;D
Over the last four days, the BBC news channel has consisted of all day coverage of a wedding, all coverage of Grenfell and, today, all day coverage of the Manchester bombing anniversary. It's not new, it's not news, it just panders to the nations fascination with tragedy. (Not the wedding, of course).

Agreed.....it's called news or the news because it is new not old news. :y

I suppose you can have 'old news' but old news isn't really new news, because the news needs to be new rather than old or it isn't news at all..... :)
