Here's a lesson - hold contractors and builders accountable for providing safe housing for all people. People in public housing should have the same protections that all other people get.

Radical Muslims have time machines. Everything bad is their fault. Or liberals fault. They also have time machines.

And, fun fact, the chemical run off from the time machines usually gets in the water and TURNS THE FIGGIN FROGS GAY!


On topic, sans sarcasm, this is a truly tragic event and it would be an insult to all those who are injured or lost their lives in this tragedy to start pointing fingers without evidence.

They recently spent a bloody fortune upgrading that building. I don't have the answers, but something went terribly wrong.

It seems that many more may have been lost if it wasn't for Muslim families being awake to prepare for Ramadan meals before sunrise. Because the smoke alarm did not go off (I can't even imagine), those who were awake were able to bang on their neighbors' doors to wake them up and get them up in time. Muslims Awake For Ramadan Helped Evacuate London Fire

Just unimaginable. How on earth did the fire alarms fail to go off? So many errors here cost lives.

They spent the money on cladding to make the building look nicer so that the rich people in nearby private flats had a nicer building to look on, instead of spending the money on fixing the problems with the building

No kidding!

It wasn't lack of money.

Seems like someone should have noticed the lack of provisions for escaping the building.

Or asked the residents what they thought the building needed.
