Horrible horrible scenes. I just passed ravenscourt park on the district line and could see the smoke billowing from the building a few miles away. I just hope it was quick and painless for the victims.

spent half the night watching the f00ker burn. never seen anything like it before. there is going to be a horrific casualty list from this.
the block has 400-500 people, probably a load more not registered too and no alarm went off by all accounts.

Some serious questions will be asked in time - Hard to imagine how something like this can happen in this day and age.
In the meantime, you're heart has to go out to all of those affected by this.

Big time. How did the fire spread throughout the building so quickly? Apparently it was only renovated last year - they spent millions doing it up. Very sad situation in any event.

Labour tried to pass a law last year that would require landlords to make their properties safe and fit for human habitation, but it was rejected by the Tories by 312 votes to 219. Funny enough (not really), 72 of those Tory MPs who rejected it were landlords.. |

There is a quote from the residents association where he said 90% of the residents signed a petition wanting an inquiry into how the building was been run, but the council turned it down.

Absolutely horrible scenes, they will be doing well if the fatalities are below treble figures, and it will be months before some are identified. It does seem various levels of officialdom right up to the government have a lot to answer for here.

may is fully aware that a whole world of sh1t is going to open up over this, especially once the actual casualty figure comes out which could easily be over 100. i would expect to see massive public anger on the streets. 72 tory mps voted AGAINST a motion last year to make all homes "fit for human habitation" - many of whom were landlords. they are up to the necks in this.

I always feel uncomfortable making something like this political, even if their appears to be some government responsibility. Not that I am saying Corbyn or May are, I just get the feeling the media are and I find it distasteful, especially when the death toll is still rising and will continue to do so.

I don't think neither are and I don't think the Press would/should have to make a deal of it,surely to f**k her PR team could see the bad optics of her not meeting locals when it's a given that Corbyn is likely to
