Towering inferno in London

[Jeffrey Shaw]

Any property in London that they are housed in will be worth buying. As council tenants they have the 'right to buy' - They will enjoy a nice percentage reduction too on the market value no doubt.

Q:were all the block's occupants Secure Tenants? The law would be different for those who had leaseholds following RTB.

Next time this degenerates into an off topic slanging match I will be suspending accounts.

Hope that's nice and clear because there will be no further warnings

Some were, some were private tenants of private landlords and some were owner occupiers.

I read that there were lots of people living there who should not have been. It's horrible what happened to them and their family will not ever know but they must regret deciding to live there.

Is there anything that we dont already know?

This will go on until the largest group get the results they want,it will be money wasted as no one will be prosecuted.

Saw on BBC news last night only 3 have been rehoused,please tell us why only 3 because that's a disgrace.

Not sure that ultimately prosecution can be avoided in this case, or at the very least some serious reputational damage for some companies, public bodies and individuals, and it should result in a substantial overhaul of regs and laws. This isn't like Hillsborough - because of the internet so much information is in the public domain already and much of it is damning.

 

Let's see what the inquiry brings. The families involved are behaving with real dignity and their (qualified) support deserves the right result. Obviously any hint of cover-ups or undue protection for those ultimately responsible and this thing will really grow and it'll rumble on for years.

 

Get the job done right and fairly first time.

If the survivors and relatives of the deceased haven't been living in a bubble for years they will have seen Hillsborough (criminal prosecutions only being brought decades after the event), and Rotherham (no actions being taken against the people who looked the other way as all those girls were abused) and will know exactly how things are done in this country. They will have to fight with everything they have for years and years to get anything approaching justice.
