I hope the Firefighters get some kind of recognition for what they did. Bravery beyond the call .. respect to them.

As I understand it the firebrigade were on site in 6 minutes. How would more funding improved this response? :shrug: Just a cheap shot on the back of a tragedy.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
Of course Labour have never cut anything have they? Nobody's ever died, been injured or suffered as a result of anything Labour have done, failed to do or anything they've had to cut/scale back. :rolleyes:
If Labour were so concerned about fire risks in old unsafe tower blocks they could have made the retro-fitting of sprinkler systems a legal requirement years ago. Why didn't they do it when they had that huge parliamentary majority for over a decade and were spending money like there was no tomorrow? It's typical of the usual suspects here to jump on the nasty party, anti-Tory, bandwagon when they have nothing at all to say about the failure of their preferred party to tackle the massive problems they have a habit of highlighting when in opposition but do precious little about when in power. |
Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
I've been mainly listening to this all unfolding on the radio and must say I haven't yet heard any mention of any official presence other than the front line emergency services. There's understandably a lot of chaos on the scene with large numbers of well meaning volunteers trying to do their bit etc. but seemingly nobody really overseeing what's going on and organising the relief effort on the ground. Surely someone in officialdom ought to be co-ordinating all this and if they're not, why not? :confused:

In America they send out the National guard to help with things but we don't seem to have any type of organised group helping and organising things here.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
I may be wrong but there doesn't seem to be much interest amongst the great and the good for rehousing some of these unfortunate people. Wasn't long ago that all manner of lefty luvvies and politicians were telling everyone how they'd happily house some refugees. It'd be a bit odd if our own needy citizens weren't worthy of similar assistance wouldn't it though so I'm sure they'll be queueing up to do so shortly.
