hackey lad Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 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. but what amounts to justice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Arctor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 but what amounts to justice ? People who have done wrong being held to account for it and given an appropriate sanction. Everyone knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 People who have done wrong being held to account for it and given an appropriate sanction. Everyone knows that. Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going to say. I think for many people it's the being held to account that's the thing - victims want to see people forced to admit that they were negligent, or greedy or whatever the charges might be.

taxman Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Apparently it will still be OK to clad buildings in flammable material....if this happened in India or Bukino Faso we'd condem them for outrageous disregard of human life. In the UK it's fine to cover a tower block in a sheath of combustable material. Bonkers. A bonfire of regulations the tories promised.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I heard on the news recently that about a hundred of the residents of Grenfell Tower are still in temporary accommodation awaiting to be housed. Not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK it's fine to cover a tower block in a sheath of combustable material. Bonkers.. A bonfire of regulations the tories promised.... That isn't what the article says or what the proposal is. Hackitt is proposing regulation that makes it impossible for buildings to fail in the manner of Grenfell. This overcomes the potential for new or poor materials and methods to bypass bans. It is, in actual fact, better than banning a list of materials. Hackitt knows what she is talking about, unlike victims, relatives, or politicians.

I thought the panels were meant to withhold burning for 60 minutes, and they failed. Which means the panels do not comply with regulations and those that fitted them should be held responsible.
