Shocking

Please continue here. Thanks.

EIGHT YEARS on... And:

Seven organisations to be investigated over Grenfell fire
wrote:
Seven organisations criticised in wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster could be banned from bidding for public contracts, the government has said...

... The fire in the west London tower block killed 72 people in 2017. The inquiry found all their deaths were avoidable...

Have we moved onwards?

Or does passing a hot potato between seven scammers mean that none of the scammers gets 'caught out'?...


Still to be chased up?

Only in the UK??

Watch: Chaos as MPs throw smoke grenades in Serbian Parliament

At least three Serbian MPs have been injured after opposition members threw smoke grenades during a chaotic session inside the country's parliament on Tuesday.

Politicians were seen on live television clashing with security and launching tear gas in an apparent show of support for student protestors.

Demonstrations sparked by a railway station roof collapse [EDIT: reasons still unknown: Chinese renovation; non-transparency,...] that killed 15 people four months ago have morphed into a wider movement that poses the biggest threat yet to the Serbian government.

One of the injured MPs suffered a stroke and is in a critical condition, according to the speaker. "Serbia is rising up for the regime to fall," read a banner unfurled on the chamber floor.

Trump Turnberry vandalised by pro-Palestinian group

A pro-Palestinian group has vandalised parts of Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.

Palestine Action posted photographs on social media showing red paint daubed across one of the buildings at the Ayrshire course.

The words "Gaza is not for sale" are sprayed across one green and another green appears to have been dug up.

The UK building trades have a funny way of showing their competence.
While removing cladding, identical to that used on Grenfell Tower, they fitted the windows inside-out.

Apology over inside-out windows on tower blocks

It's the "Fog in Channel, Continent Cut Off" school of design. :^)

(Yes, that story is apocryphal.)
