        It’s ok most that we’re living there didn’t exist on paper anyway and were there living with others breaking the law and making money out of them.

        So they deserved to be burned to death because of government incompetence? Or is that just what you tell yourself to stop you from caring?

        He's right, although, the building was safe enough when it was built. It should never have been wrapped in a plastic shell. The cladding turned it into a death trap.

        Breaking news.... GRENFELL WAS UNSAFE TO LIVE IN.... Yes.... The big fire and dozens of deaths pretty much confirmed that. 🔥

        The same fire chief who signed off the fire safety in the first place? Or the one who ignored months of campaigning by residents?

        There are many more blocks like this that nobody should be living in.

        @LondonFire After 35 minutes Grenfell tower was 25% ablaze so in my opinion commonsense should have been used and residents told to evacuate building! But no you waited for another 77 minutes fail fail fail

        Not a lot of comfort to lost victim’s family-members,I just hope any tribute built for the area (like ‘Ground Zero in NY) is a suitable one!

        Not really, fact of the matter is that building shouldn’t have been available to house ANYONE, whether it was sub-let or not. Why is everyone ignoring that and focusing on who should live where?? It’s irrelevant

        Sorry to say this . But they may not of expected the building to go up in flames so quick , but after 20 mins you could see it was . It was out of control, and everybody should of been told to leave .
