Grenfell Tower
minorvogonpoet Started conversation Oct 8, 2018
I was wondering whether to write something about Grenfell Tower, which burnt down with the loss of 72 lives.
There's lots of information -from the BBC and the Guardian among others. There's a big debate about the cladding, which turned out to be flammable, but I think I'm more interested in the people. Many of them were refugees or immigrants. Not sure if my twopennies worth would add anything.

Well there are a few things to consider. Firstly the cladding was a cheap folly. Secondly the fire brigade's advice to stay where they were, led to more deaths than if people had thought for themselves and got out of the burning building. Will the council try to dump responsibility on the fire brigade or accept its part in all this? Will the survivor's do the same or blame the council. It is all about choice and the results of choice. If I had been in the building, I would have skedaddled
