It's not 'victims' in quotes. There are in excess of 79 deaths, they've lost their homes, their relatives and their friends. Putting 'victims' in quotes as if they're not. There is a serious lack of decency and basic humanity on here sometimes.

They want a black, woman, brought up on a council estate that happens to be a judge to be in charge, not only is it a pretty stupid request which if reversed (a white, man, from a rich family) would be righteously criticised by all it also ignores the fact that the judge they've got actually got to Cambridge on a scholarship and not because of wealth although it's possible he is rich and smart obviously, the two go hand in hand sometimes.

I tend to agree Damien but let's not forget there's already been one chancer arrested for making out he's a victim, I'd bet his not alone and when they're caught I hope it's a very large and heavy book that's thrown at them, people like him make it easier to dismiss the real victims

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

That was the sad part of this incident. There will be chancer that can pretend they are victims. So, government must be vigilant with that.

I also think there is over reaction to comments sometimes

Those "demands" do not strike me as coming from families mourning their lost loved ones.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

Putting it in quotes wasn't the best way of making the point as clearly there are victims here I'm aware of the death toll but like always there are now a group looking to profit off of this tradegy that were involved but are not real victims of this. We now have the race card as well as the class card being played here by people that are looking to exploit this tradegy for their own selfish ends and are determined to blame everyone and everything in an attempt to feather their own nest.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

The genie is out of the bottle when it comes to choosing those who head up inquiries I think. Just look at the child abuse case. We're now in danger of any group of victims being able to effectively choose those they feel will give the answers they want to hear and refuse to co-operate or even accept the outcome unless it confirms what they've already decided the truth is. It's really very worrying and some legal firms and politicians are definitely stirring things up.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

Things like this become a money pit for the usual suspects and while the real victims may get something it pales compared to the amounts padding the pockets of the professionals and by the time any conclusion is reached its huge bills and mainly forgotten victims.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

Good to see the government have now sent in a taskforce to run some departments in this failing council.

Could any Council have truly been prepared to cope with such a tragedy?

People keep (conveniently) forgetting that those issues were with the council staff which has nothing to do with the councillors. How many of those staff would be union members and Corbyn supporters? The term "5th columnist" springs to mind.

Indeed. Perhaps too much energy is going into "who's to blame" rather than sorting out the tragic situation for the people involved.

Any council worth its salt should have strong contingency and emergency plans and the vast majority sadly don't.
