Still no truth from the authorities about how many died. Is there any wonder there is a chance of riots? This is a ****ing disgrace and honestly, I would be out with the protestors if anyone I knew was 'missing' still and noone would acknowledge it. 400+ people lived there...150 or so accounted for and the rest seemingly ignored. Absolutely disgraceful.

Also if what the firemen have been saying about the government trying to get the 'death by fire' figures down then thats a disgrace too. Apparently anyone who jumped wouldn't count in the figures, anyone who dies in hospital rather than being burnt alive...all so more of the firefighting budget can be cut away. I am almost ashamed to be part of this country right now. Where cost cutting (thats not even needed) is quite literally killing people.

They can't confirm that the missing are dead until the have absolute proof. Given it was a fire, and that the area is very difficult to search, it could take a very long time, and some will never be confirmed.

Its very distressing for relatives, but if the authorities jumped to wrong conclusions it would be even worse.

Everyone feels for those affected, and yes, many have a right to be angry, but that wave of sympathy is being used by others to further their own more sinister agendas and that should not be supported under any circumstances, and if need be, I will also be on the streets demonstrating to protect our democracy from these thugs
