Truly awful.

It seems like everytime we wake up these days there is some sort of tragic event.

I pray for all family and friends of the people that have been lost.

No one should be packed into places like this is the first place, it's all so completely wrong. And then the people profiting from these places can't even be bothered to implement proper fire safety measures.

Oh and of course they cover the outside of the building with ****ing flammable material in order to make it look more respectable... how can that possibly be allowed? Surely things like that should be safety tested and only fire resistant materials used??

This tragedy should be a prompt to have abundant real housing built, and the rest of these things torn down, before it happens again.

Because... money.
Doesn't look like there were any changes after their last property caught fire.

So disgusting how they get away with this, if you have any work done privately, the hoops you have to jump through to get it passed is ridiculous down to things like having extractor fans in a small cloakroom, yet these places are passed as safe, the residents have been raising the health and safety issues of the fire risk nothing done, what a joke

It's not a political issue at all really (other than I do think political intervention is needed to sort it out)...

But no it's not a party politics issue. These landlords have been thriving for decades under various governments. There's no specific "government blaming" to be done but there IS a problem. Quite clearly.

If you mean the Asian guy who was waving his jumper - there are reports he has been rescued, 12 hours after the blaze started.

They are reporting that those on the top 3 floors will not have been able to survive

I suppose a difficult thing is no one will know who was in their flats at the time

Saved

[The fire that swept through
a 27-storey west London tower
block in just 15 minutes
after a faulty fridge exploded could be one
of the worst in British history
amid fears nobody on its top
three floors survived.]
