Sprinklers are considerablly expensive to install as well to maintain

The money may be better spent having full fire detection coverage either fixed temperature heat detectors or rapid rise heat detectors to alleviate somebody burning toast and emptying the building

If everybody is out of the building the fire brigade don't give a monkeys about the property ( quite rightly )

Everyone who lived there is to get just £5500 to rebuild their lives from tomorrow.

Anyone know of any houses which cost around £5k in London? 5k doesnt even get you 6 months rent

Shocked
They could afford 2k per month rent but wouldn't spend a fiver on a smoke alarm ?

Don't think a smoke alarm would have helped many of them.
 
The fire spread from the 8th floor to the 18th in about 7 minutes.

I know that is probably an attempt at humour but nobody said they could afford 2k, most people in London can't really afford their rent. It is a massive issue there.
As Bhob said, a smoke alarm would have been f**k all use to them.

Everyone should watch BBC's Panorama from last night. Only 30 mins long but up there with 1 of the best docs the BBC have put out, and they do great docs.

You'll be pretty horrified at some of the things they find, specifically Kensington Council.

So firefighters put out the fridge fire but never noticed it had spread to the exterior of the building because it wasn't​ expected to be made of materials that would ignite. Further, the telegraph report leaked government docs show minister after minister had been warned of the dangers of this type of cladding and time and time again they swatted it away. Scandalous!

Did you watch Panorama? The Greenfell Tower Group segment and the Kensington Council Leader were hard to watch. 

Furthermore, it's being revealed today that if survivors refuse to move to other parts of the country then they will be classed as 'Intentionally homeless' which in the law states the council don't need to assist them if they have that status. Dead

I have more respect for Mr. Paget-Brown than I do for other Tories. 

He's an utter, utter coont of a man but at least he's honest and up front about it. He's authentic. You know what you're dealing with. 

Whereas the rest of the Tories are exactly the same as he is but they try to hide it.

I can empathise with that, a bit like Rees-Mogg.

I like the line on, i think it was Have I Got News For You - He looks like a childs drawing of what a Tory should look like.

Yeah, that was a cracker and incredibly accurate. He has become great friends in Westminster with Mhairí Black, which must be the most bizarre friendship since the Jungle Book.
