All the very best Meen, hope you are successful and your children grow up being very proud of you.

I wonder what the standard of inspections were? International standard using appropriate detection devices? Or just a visual check? Or no check at all? Not very inspiring.

Well done to the driver!

Let's hope Cambodia can find new markets quickly so the general population has no suffering, and buys whatever they need from countries other than the US.

Send him to the Ukrainian front line. Let him practice his behaviour there, I'm sure it'll work out well for him.

RIP.

Didn't bring a big enough "empty" envelope?

Whilst women will likely think that this isn't the place where the big knobs hang out.😆

Let me guess, the number of these vehement responses might number in the 10s, when compared to the 10s of millions who don't care. Let's hope the Operations Director doesn't remove it to appease the tiny minority. Reminds me of all the wokeism and DEI; let's pander to the minority!

Yeah, no wonder some countries shout "not our King" and some countries don't respect the British national anthem.

If rules are in place and nobody enforces them, then there are no rules. It's like telling a child they shouldn't do something, then doing nothing when they go right ahead and do it; no way I'd blame the child. I'm really surprised there is no enforcement though, it is very easy tea money for the authorities, sitting right there in front of them. That's how it is in most countries; an easy source of regular income, just like speed cameras.

True. Effective response measures would have been to ensure that this building was being constructed 100% to the letter of all regulations and standards, then it would not have collapsed.

What's now the 4th floor used to be the 23rd...

I heard that beer is a good antidote for earthquake drunk symptoms. Kind of a counterbalance... Hic!

Much as I don't like how these lawyers are making money, they are entitled to be there and to do their job. Starmer has said so too, see the quote. What Sir Kier did before he was PM is relevant of course, but I don't think he's defending the law, rather defending the lawyers doing what they are paid to do. I compare it to a defence lawyer defending a killer who is planning to plead guilty, but the lawyer has found that due process has not been followed so the charges get dropped. As sammieuk1 said, the law could get changed to block this loophole. Or, the defence of a right to a familiy life could get accepted, and the whole family could get deported instead?
