London Tower Block Fire

depend on the factors and stringency of the tests!! like you say it's pretty obvious under the conditons and temperatures the other night it acted like a * accelerant!! i'm guessing they knew this....was there not a similar fire in Australia with the same/similar stuff.

 

this is exactly what happened mate!! decisions were made!!!

 

Yup a whitewash, as Ive posted numerous times now, May's chief of staff was the housing minister when the last incident happened in London killing 6 people, he and the Tories sat on recommendations after the enquiry and now a lot more people are dead, he Gavin Barwell should be taken to task big time.

 

No bother mate.

 

i am a cynical auld * , lets see what the next 18 months brings to the area. Richest borough in londen set to get richer.

land is council owned , so they can sell waste land to who ever they want, whit a fukin surprrise
????????

 

i will say that they knew they were rolling dice with people's safety and lives because of commerical reasons and look where we've ended! Capiltalism at it's finest!!

 

As far as I know mate, the tories (especially) voted against stricter regulations for housing safety, meaning dodgy companies using dodgy materials are free to do what they like.

Bit simplistic but its late on a Friday and I'm a bit *. That seems to be the jist that I have learned over the last few days.

 

just as i thought mate with the guy talking about testing and the paramaters at about 16 minutes onwards...they * knew the test for that material was not going to mirror a real fire situation in that building.....* changing conditons after the test but leaving the same fire rating for that particular cladding!!

 

Yup the safety tests are far from adequate.

 

aye...we'll change the core to polyethylene known as 'fire rain' but we'll just leave it with the same rating as the outside's the same. the mind * boggles!!

 

Been happening for ages mate. They want to wipe the working class out of central London as much as possible and attract the money men and women in..

Was talking to Celtic Warrior in this thread further back about area's we both know well. The Aylesbury Estate and the Heygate which were pretty much joined on to each other and used to have murders back in the day (as you can imagine if you Google the images of what it was like). Still getting built up now on Walworth Road/Elephant Castle if you don't know it and has been happening with that area for some time. Vauxhall to Battersea and nine elms market totally wiped out for plush apartments facing the Thames and the new American embassy (not necessarily home's but job's certainly felt for the average joe no doubt)..

Host of area's like this and not just central..

I believe the class difference here is instantly recognisable unlike anywhere else in the UK. Leave my old dears council flat and I'm surrounded by multi million pound apartments and house's with crack hostels and Gordons nut house in amongst it..

You've got that area which is pretty much Latimer Road and Portobello Road just round the corner. Notting Hill. Westfield shopping centre right next to it. Difference is staggering to the council gaffs in Ladbroke Grove to Holland Park sitting beside 4 mill house's there and Bayswater where the rich-tourist's swan about leisurely after hop's 10 minute's down the road from brunch at Harrods....and as we've now seen first hand it's been a ticking time bomb..

 

That is exactly what will happen but..

 

I am playing the Rhebs now , because i hate injustice, i hate poverty, i hate * wits who have "soor plooms " in their mooths.

I dont want to get into anything heavy about... MAY , but holy * she she is more important than liziiee . Lizzzie could be protected , there was not enough security for " OOR Teresa ".
