Looks like nothing learned from Grenfell Hate to be blunt but it wasn't Buckingham Palace that burned, so why would a lesson be learned? Your country isn't like Las Vegas, where buildings are replaced in their entirety when someone wants a "new look." The "it burns foam" sales people have a cheap quick way to make a building look new. Of the profit, by the profit, for the profit. Governments have to grow spines to break that. |

Well, at least we're not that bad compared to the States. Recently, in your neck of the woods... ...sign seen on a Café window: $5 fee if approaching the counter wearing a mask. Additional fee payable if bragging about vaccine status. |

Well, at least we're not that bad compared to the States.Don't doubt it a bit. And the boss wonders why none of his workers will return to work. |

4th anniversary of the Grenfell fire. And in all honesty nothing much has happened to improve the situation in most similar blocks. |

Milan 18-storey apartment block goes up in flames Sound familiar; One resident said he had been assured that the building's panels were fireproof Every tenant has reportedly been safely evacuated and accounted for, but firefighters are conducting a thorough search of the building to ensure no one has been trapped. |

Cladding: Panels failed fire tests 13 years before Grenfell Leaked test results suggest the government and construction industry had early evidence of the dangers posed by cladding, 13 years before the Grenfell Tower fire. Five cladding systems were tested, including one with aluminium panels, although the primary aim was not to assess the risk of particular designs |

So we need an Anti- Microsoft scree now ... No action taken over 2009 warning A training package developed in October 2015 which contained a warning about buildings which had been fitted with modern insulation materials was not rolled out, because the LFB encountered IT problems after upgrades to the Internet Explorer browser. |

A disabled man who lives in a London tower block says he feels like “a prisoner in his own home” after he had to be carried to his flat on the sixth floor.Surely, since Grenfell shouldn't all councils/housing associations ensure that all disabled be placed into ground floor flats. If none available for them to be transferred every time one comes available? Tower block safety |

That would be great, but there a number of blocks that don't have living (or liveable) accommodation on their ground floor so there isn't as much of it available as one would expect. Perhaps it's time to start building more low rise affordable properties. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
