Grenfell House tower block blaze.

Doh...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-40382036

The first line of the article reads:-

Cladding is being removed from a tower bock in Manchester despite an inspection by the fire service which concluded it is safe.


Why...

Then dont set him off with the lurkers 

There must be a block that needs evacuating in Leeds. Open house round at Reg Towers I hear.

Nah students only. you know they will leave, tried that private stuff, nightmare

Students.   you just like to keep a beady eye on them dont you. Dont forget to intercept their polling cards before the next election. Corbyn is targetting them for special attention.

Roughly a 100 dead and this guy thinks they done a good job and should get a pay rise...

 ,,, major fu#king fail from various angles...

which article??

Ah, I've copied wrong link, one it was meant to be has gone now, it was that Liberal Democrat Party Presedent Tim Faron spouting on about how well the emergency services done handeling the Grenfell fire incident and that they should get a pay rise because of it...

Typical vote grabbing politician trying to gain support out of the tragity, and as for all of this thanking the emergency services every time they attend some sort of incident I'm sick of it, it's their job, that's what they get paid to do, they chose to take such jobs either for the money or because that's what the wished to do,,, every time you see a politician, police chief etc make to do a speech on such events you can bet the first words to come out of their mouths are "First of all I'd like to thank the emergency services",,, now I trained as a mechanic, now when I finished servicing a car did I get thanked, no, just got told hadn't done it quick enough and here's your next job,,, it's what I got paid to to...

So it's OK for other buildings to be fire traps...

Actually mate that is how my sister in law got hers   her daughter is disabled on benefits, and they used that to get a free worcester combi with all the rads paid for by a government funded initiative so it is true

Sacked for telling the truth...

Minute I saw this unfold I said "I bet there will be more claimed as being dead than actually are"...

I reckon there will be a lot more dead than actual official figures. I think some families will have had relayives staying with them that no-one knows about.

Well the whole block looked rammed with all sorts of call centre's so it is in their culture to grab what you can regardless of morals, we are far too benevolent towards hangers on in my opinion,

Council leader quits

Another scapegoat (re Hillsborough), as a senior manager in last company I worked for, approx 5000 employes I tried to keep a eye on what my "trusted" subordinates were doing,,, but if they fecked up, I wasn't going anywhere,,, THEY WERE...

Report also says firefighters were unable to use the "dry rising main", this is the pipe they would normall pump water up through the hight of the building to attach their fire hoses to at all floor levels, so basically they had no water to fight the fire with,,, major cockup on someone's behalf there then...
