The person who signed off on the work was a Conservative politician. Doh! Given the evidence from a qualified engineer for his approval...But you and others have to bring in the a "Conservative" approved it....Typical left wing stuff.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "apology" mainly consisted of making, pathetic, infantile justifications for his comment, ie lies. Not what I would call an apology.

JonnyF Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This thread seems like a load of either hard leftists or Remainers (they are not necessarily the same thing) taking any chance they can to put the boot into the Conservative Leaver. What he said whether factually correct or not was definitely insensitive to come out and say it. He has realized this and therefore apologized. Time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I was thinking that this thread was filled with the right (and, in a couple of cases, hard right) desperately defending a deeply unpleasant and amoral man who unashamedly spoke his mind but later had to recant when he realised that his words are not considered acceptable from an elected official. I agree with your summation though - time to move on to more important issues. I didn't need this incident to know that Mogg is not fit for public office. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, where is your evidence that there was a design safety review? The inquiry was scoped such that how and why the building was modified to become a death trap was not examined. The decision to exclude these considerations from the scope of the inquiry was political. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Then point me to the bit where the inquiry has examined why the building was covered with an inflammable cladding? Where does the inquiry examine who made that decision? Where does the inquiry examine the design approval process? Where does the inquiry examine the installation inspection and approval process? Do’t waste too much time looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they must laugh and celebrate this behind close doors when they don't have to pretend to care. If he wins the tax cuts and tax breaks for the rich will be warmly celebrated with a new Ferrari or yacht and Johnson will have won his golden ticket to future riches and intoxicating power.

kingdong Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) On 11/8/2019 at 1:35 AM, DannyCarlton said: Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO) were responsible for fire safety at Grenfell Tower. They were wholly answerable to Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council, which, by a large majority, is a Conservative held borough council. The fire safety management for properties in the Borrough of Kensinton and Chelsea were handed back directly to the council last year. See you saw fit to swerve my earlier post,so which government took the responsibility of fire checks away from the fire brigade and gave it to the council,( as you state )?

If you think that you know something, why don't you post it? Quote All housing authorities are responsible for regulating standards in privately rented homes, while those who are still landlords themselves are also responsible for the homes they own. Along with responding to fires, all fire authorities have two roles: responsibility for enforcing the law in multi-occupied residential buildings and for educating communities about how to reduce the risk of fire. Where a property could be under both council and fire authority regulation, they should work together to decide who will lead on any enforcement action.

Installing a flammable cladding didn’t do much good did it? Perhaps it should never have been installed. Local council approves installation of cladding and assigns budget. Let’s start with examining why they chose to do so and then move on to why that particular cladding was chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WillyPlatt Posted November 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2019 14 pages of bile and garbage. Jacob is widely liked across the house of commons, also a devout Roman Catholic and hardly likely to genuinely wish ill will to anyone. He should not have commented in the manner he did. I still think his comment was taken out of context but it was ill advised at best. In a world of two faced, politically correct, worlds gone mad, politicians, it is nice to have someone who gives his honest heartfelt views. However, unpopular they maybe. I know he has been honest about his religious beliefs. The world, and house of commons, is a lot richer with highly eccentric individuals like Mogg. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
