"I’m sad the fire service were being the fall guys not the corrupt politicians and councillors of a very rich borough..

But weren't the fire service also responsible for fire inspections of the building and its safety prior to the incident? | |||

"It is sad what happened there, but who feel it was about saving money over safety?" Everyone I would think. | |||

"A 23 storey block of flats with over 300 people living in it should have more than one staircase. " . Not really!. I'm presuming it was built by people who knew what they were doing and what's safe or not, there isn't really one particular thing that was the fault, it was more a whole load of small things and bad luck that lead to this fire but it's important to remember that this type of fire is very rare and in the grand scheme of things really isn't the massive concern that it's been given the media as. The report states that in all probability less than 25 people would have died if they just hadn't had the stay in place policy! , Still tragic I'll admit but not really a massive toll considering how rare these fires are!. | |||

" That has been taken away from them, they will do it if enough people complain. It is not the responsibility of the landlord/managing agent, I am sure there are a few documents being updated or amended after the fire. | |||

" "Really isn't the massive concern that it's been given in the media as"??!!! Really?! Countless people lost their lives due to the negligence of people in power who chose to ignore warnings from the residents about the likelihood of issues in the block, and it's not a massive concern?! ![]() | |||

"It is sad what happened there, but who feel it was about saving money over safety?" And yet on May 4th this year the same political party wins control of the same council. If voting could cause change the political elite would outlaw it. The public gets what the public votes for, more of the same year after year, election after election. | |||

"It is sad what happened there, but who feel it was about saving money over safety? I reckon some of the costs cut were filtered into a pocket somewhere" Saving money will always be a big thing, that's why so many big companies sub contract. It also means when things go wrong, they can wash their hands of any blame like has happened in this incident. | |||

It's the equivalent of saying some crazy Muslim has killed 9 people in a rare terrorist attack and we should spend millions and millions preventing the next one?. There's things we need to concentrate our resources on and there's things that are just, well shit happens, but unlikely won't happen twice or three times in a year and even if it did were still only taking less than a hundred deaths which is ten days of male suicide or twelve days of car accidents. Perspective is sometimes hard to come by on tragic news | |||

Doesn't matter whether it's one event or hundreds, one death or thousands - it's still tragic and what's more was preventable if not for the inactions of those who should be held accountable!! No-one is detracting from the tragedy of suicide (male or female), or those killed in car accidents both of which have resources assigned to them - but frankly to suggest something like Grenfell or any other tragedy of its kind should be written off as "well shit happens" is disgusting at best, and showing a complete lack of empathy and humanity to boot!! | |||

"A Tory run council would not be willing to spend money on social housing. They are paying some of the financial cost but not the personal cost the people paid. " Those sort of people look after the people they meet in their golf club, people like them. They don't meet council tenants, migrants etc and couldn't care less what happens to them. | |||

"A 23 storey block of flats with over 300 people living in it should have more than one staircase. " The design principles of the building were sound. A fire in a flat would not spread to other flats for approx 30 minutes. Reasonably, it was assumed the local fire brigade would attend within those 30 mins. Hence, the standard advice to stay put in the event of a fire. Less risk staying put then people in a panic running down stairs. They changed the design of the building by wrapping it in petrol but did not change the fire risk assessment. I hope the inquiry gets to the bottom of that. My suspicion is the cladding was done for the benefit of wealthy people overlooking the property, and not the residents. Institutional snobbery meant no money was spent looking after their interests. | |||

This enquiry is nothing to do with the facts, the jury in the pub already know those. It's the foundation to a portion the blame so the legal cases can follow to get the compensation. Well what could be better than blame a public institution forbidden to defend itself then help yourself to their budget in 2020? Simples! | |||
