    Grenfell...

    Can't believe no thread on here,not even going to go into the politics of it when I read this brought me to tears..

    The bodies of up to 42 people were found in just one room by search and rescue teams combing Grenfell Tower after the fatal fire last week, it has been claimed.
    It is believed the remains of the group were discovered inside one of the flats by recovery teams who have been searching the White City tower block over the last few days.
    A video uploaded on YouTube shows an unnamed man speaking in front of the burned out tower. He said: 'He said: 'I've got a friend who works for the fire brigade here, yeah? Yesterday on the phone he said they found about 42 bodies in one room, all hiding together. No-one knows that

    And a spokesman for the Met Police said he would not be able to advise on numbers or information relating to the searches so far.
    One of the worst disasters in recent history, police have confirmed 79 are thought to have died but the true figure is thought by residents and locals to be much higher.
    A friend of victim, who wished to remain unnamed, told MailOnline close to the scene of the tragedy: 'They found 42 bodies in one flat. The word tragic doesn't even begin to describe it. It's heartbreaking. Maybe they went there to comfort each other.'
    The landscape of the Lancaster Estate in White City changed forever in the early hours of Wednesday morning after a fire broke out around 1.30pm

    Yet another thing that will just slowly fade away under this government,lets hope not worst thing I've seen in my lifetime in this country,no doubt working out how to miinimize the damage with numerous cover ups..

    I mentioned to Mrs O the other day that I was suspicious of the seemingly closely-controlled drip-feed of information to the media.

    I got the impression they were stalling while figuring out how best to allow the worst possible news to be known.

    Political motive?

    So far I don't recall seeing any figures about how many people still alive are accounted for.

    125 flats. Average 4 people per flat? The maths are just horrific.

    It's a joke and more than a little bit disgusting that people expect the powers that be to speculate and guess on the number of casualties without having the facts to hand.

    Probably a subject best avoided at present, a lot of jumping to assumptions going on everywhere.

    It's difficult to believe that there won't be a lot more casualties than have been announced.

    I tend to agree, Col. The entire site is likely being treated as a potential crime-scene, which will slow-up progress, and the release of information. They will also be circumspect about what info they do release, in case it is prejudicial to a court-case further down the road.

    The Residents Association blog appears to be very damning of the council, and their hired management hands, and I strongly-suspect some people will be going to jail on the back of this tragedy.

    Anon uploaded a video of anon reporting the words of anon: what use does such lurid, vile speculation serve?

    The situation and state of the dead in the comparable 'neglect' tragedies of the Aberfan landslide, Kings Cross fire and Free Enterprise sinking that the emergency services had to deal with were no doubt equally unspeakable: some have to see it, the public-at-large who don't have to but want to are sick souls

    Dead is dead, get on with the enquiry, no stone unturned

    So far, the emergency services have behaved as per usual in exemplary fashion; one can but hope the politicians and plethora of other 'accountable' parties involved do the same

    Shall we hold our breath?

    Lessons will be learn't and no doubt a scapegoat will be given we already know that,just hope this government gets taken to task on this and the residents are relentless and get plenty of backing before they get inevitably get redirected...

    ffs sake those two bible bashing red necks are as bad as those muslims in the video going on about no homosexuality in Christian faith they're probably part of the KKK,no one defends those sort of muslims if they were kicked out of the country tomorrow then that would be fine by most people in the country.

    You seem more comcerned about halal meat than the Grenfell people who were killed,think that says a lot about you and the way you think,plus the rancid post you had removed,if you're that bothered get yourself off to Syria along with the ''brave'' EDL and do frontline fighting against isis just a thought..
