Fucking grim news about the Barking fire today. Luckily it seems there are no fatalities. 

 

This is worth watching again.  Lessons weren't learned before Grenfell and it seems nothing has been learned since. 

 

 

I watched this documentary after angry posted it in June. Before I watched it I would have thought doing a runner is the obvious thing to do. However if you have a trained professional on the phone telling you the safest thing for your family is to stay put then following the advice of the Fire Brigade could easily be described as the common sense thing to do. 

 

It must be horrific to have some posh cunt with family portraits bigger than your flat telling you you're family members died because they lacked common sense.

I've read that the council never updated the fire brigade of the shitty new fire hazard cladding they installed. Not sure if true or not.

Running downstairs through superheated smoke must be easy if you’re a haunted pencil.

But you'd think in a high rise there would be plan of actions for disasters. It just seems like blame shifting. Can't blame the council for cutting corners, don't want to blame the people labelling it safe, be interesting to see links between cladding firm and local council

I think that might have been from Frankie Boyle? He also referred to Boris as a "confused sex yeti"

I can’t claim the credit for that I’m afraid.  Think it was Marina Hyde

I would have thought a major project like that would have had consultation with the local fire service, as is normal. At the very least Building Control (or the Approved Inspector) will have notified them.

Christ. They're not making it any better.

Clues to the causes of the tragedy of Grenfell Tower are at last emerging, and they do appear to be providing some comfort. For example, people who died in the fire, according to Jacob Rees-Mogg, lacked “common sense”. The inferno could thus be viewed as a useful cull of some of society’s least valuable members, a purification by fire that the eugenicists of the 1930s would recognise as entirely valid.

Rees-Mogg’s own home, the £2.9m, 17th-century Gournay Court, is built of red sandstone and Bath stone, and has not been thoughtlessly smothered with explosive material. But were it to suddenly turn into an unprecedentedly fierce inferno, it is certain that Rees-Mogg would have had the common sense to tell Nanny to evacuate the family immediately; not down a blazing narrow tower block fire escape, of course, but down the impressive internal staircase, which rises from the east end of Gournay’s inner hall to the first floor and has decorated covered urns as finials and pendants on the newel posts, its balusters forming an arcade in the Jacobean fashion.

 

Having already established that firefighters were to blame for the deaths, apparently for having no experience of firefighting in a building that was actually covered in material designed to burst into flame, we now learn that the dead are to blame for their own deaths anyway, for being too stupid to stay alive.

Meanwhile, we will have to wait until the back end of next year for a decision on the culpability of the contractors. Appropriate blame has, however, managed to be apportioned to the once lauded firefighters and feckless residents through the first phase of the report and Jacob Rees-Mogg’s personal LBC radio trumpet respectively.

Magical.

Major fire in student accommodation in Bolton with witnesses saying the fire is spreading up the cladding. Looks like they may have got everyone out, hopefully.
