          Maybe he’s suggesting ‘it’ was the Hotpoint fridge that was an illegal immigrant?

          Every home I've stayed in in decades had electric trip boxes, that any electrical flaw would not work. Dont they have trip boxes in towers?

          Yes should have, and RCD's on most circuits. Strange how we've not heard from the chap whose fridge it was....

          He supposedly did and interview with The Shun, saying they'd reported electrical surges causing problems. Shun started victim blaming 😠

          Exactly, my suspicion is breach of fire compartments by previous refurbishment works. Fire stopping is an often forgotten trade.

          The residents reports electrical power surges to their appliances, why weren't these investigated?

          Yeah, this needs to be more than 'considered'- or the government's going to be dealing with that uprising they're so afraid of.
