I don't really know what to say about this thread to be honest. Watching it descend into the same tribal bickering as every other thread. Just totally ****ing wrong. That doesn't apply to everyone but it does apply equally to all sides. Gobsmacked.
The fire department have said that the top three floors are too dangerous to fully investigate yet. That's 27 flats that can't be got to. They think the eventual figure is going to be around 120-150 but it could take a very long time to discover who perished in the building because all evidence of guests staying over was destroyed with the building.

Its the same on all serious debate forums atm TS, this sites no different.

There is no bickering TS everyone want the same outcome, answers and accountability. I would say the nation as well as TIBB are pretty unified on that.

People need to back off and let the authorities get on with the job in hand. We saw what happened when she did visit so we can now understand the security risk that caused her not to visit.

Those poor people have gone through an horrific nightmare and venting their anger towards a specific person is a release of a kind.
I doubt that any one person is to blame for this terrible tragedy, but in the minds of those who understandably need someone to focus their blame upon, May was an obvious target because she does seem cold and aloof. I am now of the opinion that really she is just a very reserved woman who also isn't a 'people person' but a 'practical person' and the day following the tragedy she was up to her eyes with meetings dealing with 101 aspects of the actual practicalities of sorting out all the different things that need to be done. She will look back on the last few weeks as some of the worst in her life, I'm sure. I don't know how she keeps going tbh.
And her troubles fade in comparison to what the people who have lost their loved ones in this horrific nightmare have had to suffer, the firemen who will have to live with what they seen etc. Just awful, all round.
Nobody over the years did anything deliberately to hurt anyone, whether it was Tories or Labour or the London Council etc. Everyone makes mistakes and miscalculations and those who are found to be responsible will have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
I hope everyone involved in whatever way finds peace eventually and something good comes out of this awful tragedy for every single person. A big ask I know.

Rydon won't survive this. No one will offer them contracts now. Rydon have been know in the construction trade as 'cowboys' for years and years. It's all hearsay i know, but some of the work i've seem then do is so shoddy.

Exactly Parmnion,and as for that mob (some of who were nothing to do with the fire) who stormed that council building,they really aren't helpful as it ended in the building being shut down and nothing getting sorted,From what I can see things are being done,but something like that cannot be done overnight,it takes time,all those people will be rehomes and sorted out,just give people time to do it, You cannot sort things out properly with baying mobs at your feet all the time,hell there are still people who need to be found,lets do that first.I understand the anger of the people caught up in this,but those jumping on the bandwagon to get themselves seen need to help instead of hinder.

She has a point though who are they? Where are they?
Where is the list of residents?

70 still missing according to reports and 30 confirmed so must be around 100?
