shurlock Posted 19 June, 2017 Share Posted 19 June, 2017 No. Just dont think you can justify attacking anyone unprovoked, however slight the attack... but the extreme left wing would view that as collateral damage... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk It's distasteful; but no point moralising about it. The perpetrators look like locals rather than lefties FWIW.

Jonnyboy Posted 19 June, 2017 Share Posted 19 June, 2017 What a weird view to have. That's rich coming you. Over a hundred people burned alive, but the right whingers find protesting and pushing more distasteful. They blame the tragedy on the poor themselves. And endorse the reoccurance of such events by trying to wriggle out of their taxes by any means necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 20 June, 2017 Share Posted 20 June, 2017 People can get a bit testy after watching their families get burned alive because the council wrapped their concrete homes in flammable plastic. Responsibility for capital projects was transferred from the "council" to the tenants association in 2002. It's distasteful; but no point moralising about it. The perpetrators look like locals rather than lefties FWIW. What do North Ken "locals" look like? That's a very slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guided Missile Posted 23 June, 2017 Author Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Looks like progress is being made in determining who was responsible. Police investigating the Grenfell Tower blaze may bring manslaughter charges and say the fire started in a Hotpoint fridge freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 (edited) Looks like progress is being made in determining who was responsible. Would that be the crooks who supplied and installed cladding and insulation which is failing ALL safety tests it is being subjected to?

It does not matter who managed the contracts, Labour, Tory, LibDem, or Martian. If the cladding does not meet the appropriate safety standards, either somebody knew and hid the information, or the testing and monitoring system was a sham. Either way, this could blow up and shame the entire Political elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats one of the problems of taking housing management away from councils with building regs knowledge and giving it to arms length management organisations - they don't have the skills or knowledge. Cheapest quotes are often cheapest for a reason - because someone is going to cut corners somewhere, and inexperienced or understaffed commissioners wont necessarily spot it.

Guided Missile Posted 10 July, 2017 Author Share Posted 10 July, 2017 Maybe the truth is about to come out? The police investigation into the causes of the fire is also continuing, including an examination of "all criminal offences that may have been committed". Reading between the lines is not difficult as again, I can't see anyone executive of Hotpoint having committed a criminal offence for selling a faulty fridge or of anyone owning one.

Whitey Grandad Posted 11 July, 2017 Share Posted 11 July, 2017 If my fridge blew up, I would be busy suing the manufacturer. It's more complicated than that, it depends on the conditions of use. If, for example, you had been hanging your underwear on the back to dry it out or you had it standing next to an electric heater then it may well overheat. Having said that, I'm sure that several manufacturers are chewing their fingernails and checking the flight schedules to Argentina. Probably best to wait for the official reports.
