Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

The problem of identifying victims, she added, was being complicated by the fact that “a lot of people were irregular in their tenancies and some were subletting. Some of them were illegal subtenancies.” Those who perished may not be those recorded as the official tenants of a flat.
this the problem facing the council who was in the flats ,

You're jumping ahead of yourself Stan when you talk about prosecutions, at least as far as the councils are concerned. It is now found that the cladding has been in widespread use, including on recently built hotels. The problem appears to be with the testing and approval of the cladding, not the councils that were paying to have it installed in the belief that it would improve the appearance and insulation of the flats.
The tenancies are another matter. If the councils now visit all the other flats in their areas to register who exactly is living in them, they will no doubt be called fascists for harrassing the poor and another day of rage will be called.
Personally, I am enraged by the unrestricted immigration from outside the EU that the labour government inflicted upon us. Including the gross stupidity of stopping border checks on people leaving the country when it was clear that passports were being taken out of the country for others to use on re-entry.

Deadly London tower blaze began in Hotpoint fridge freezer - police - Fri, 23rd Jun 2017 11:21
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - A fire that engulfed a London tower block killing at least 79 people started in a Hotpoint fridge freezer and cladding on the building failed all safety tests, London police said on Friday.
Police Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack said the Hotpoint model, FF175BP, was not subject to recall and that the manufacturer was doing further tests.
"We now have expert evidence that the fire was not started deliberately," McCormack said.
Police said both the insulation and tiles used in cladding at the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block failed all post-fire safety tests.
"Preliminary tests show the insulation samples collected from Grenfell tower combusted soon after the test started," McCormack said.
Such were their concerns after the tests that the information was immediately shared with government to disseminate more widely.
"Given the deaths of so many people we are considering manslaughter as well as criminal offences and breaches of legislation and regulations," McCormack said.
The blaze, Britain's worst since World War Two, has heaped pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May, already fighting for her political survival after her party lost its parliamentary majority in a snap election on June 8.
When speaking about the 79 people dead, presumed dead or missing, McCormack said: "I fear that there are more."

T Maybe has been in "power" or "strong and stable" government for 6 years promising that she would solve the problem of "immigration".
Looking at the charts she doesn't seem to be that "successful" other than using the figures of political advantage and scapegoating the failures of her governing body.
Phillip Hammond doesn't seem that enthusiastic about lowering the level.
Uk Debt doesn't seem that clever either.
Also, there seems to be a flight of financial services.
The present group of tory elite has been in power for 6 years and doesn't seem that successful.
Perhaps, it should accept responsibility for its own failures rather than blaming its predecessors.

I had to smile reading about the schoolboys, whose headmistress said they could not wear shorts, even though it was so very hot. She said they had to stick with their long trousers even though the stuff the girls were wearing was much more 'heat friendly' in comparison.
And so what was the result of that ruling?
This:
Well done lads! Rebels do usually succeed in life because they often find a way through and find innovative solutions to defeat the problem.
Keep up the rebellion!

The Metropolitan Police says it will consider manslaughter, health and safety and fire safety charges.
It seems the Met. Police agree with me Iturama.

It says it will consider charges Stan. But nothing about about who may be subject to the charges. You have to have knowledge or be reasonably expected to have knowledge of a defect to be culpable. I doubt those hotels chains that paid to have this type of cladding installed have homicidal intentions against their guests. Persons in the manufacturing or procurement chain possibly knew but that requires a full investigation.

Beside the point IT, the fact that they are considering prosecutions is important in itself.
