    In 2005 there was a vote on legislation that towers built before 2007 would be exempt from having sprinkler systems

    And you're saying Corbyn agreed via vote with this?

    Labour were in Government & Corbyn was an MP

    Ok, look. Here's his record. Have a look through and highlight where he voted against sprinkler systems being mandatory.

    It was a statutory instrument, not a bill.

    He couldn't vote on it.

    You're wrong.

    Edited to add: also, look at the amount of times "rebel" or "rebel teller" appears in the last column. Doesn't always vote with the whip, and is therefore unlike most politicians.

    It's the lack of a good suit.

    Sort of deflects from the salary which is as huge as any other politicians, and the two pensions.

    I think the point she's trying to make is that more people have died than is being reported.

    Amazing number of people who think there is something wrong with that. It's clear to me that the official number is low balled.

    Conspiracy theories generally come from a desire to avoid the frightening notion that in fact, no one is really in control or knows what's going on and that we hang on to our stability and prosperity by our fingernails.

    Or they come from the fact that's there are often conspiracies amongst elites.

    light touch regulation strikes again.
    Apparently the full number of deaths will be announced tomorrow.

    They cannot identify alot of the bodies because they may be just ash....there would never have been 600people in a 120 flat tower. Or at least there shouldn't be. It will take a long time for the final total to come out

    Factually incorrect - a standard housefure is not capable of turning an entire human body into ash. For that, you need a creamtorium.

    So we're now resorting to desperate rumours that are massively unlikely to the point of contradicting pretty much every currect policy and characteristic he has, are we?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Corbyn did say people should "occupy" vacant homes and on live TV I believe. That is inciting civil unrest.

    Also Corbyn supporters are using the fire for gain.

    You can see the "Force the Tories /May out & Corbyn for PM" placards among the fire ones.

    Look at the news.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    That wasn't a crazy statement about extremists on the streets of London.. It's past time for Corbyn to unequivocally denounce and distance himself from it. Time for him to tell Momentum and co. this isn't what he wants, if he has any decency.

    What he said was that they should be requisitioned by the councils, not occupied by the people. That was the tabloids rephrasing him. Regrdless fo whether you agree or disagree, there's a buge difference there and he is no way inciting civil unrest.

    Depends what you mean by ash, a crematorium will break down human remains using agitation and high temperatures, however it may well get hot enough to render a body very hard to identify apart from with dental records etc
    People have been cremating people since the stone age and they didn't use blast furnaces for it

    This wasn't a standard house fire. The images shown of the inside of the block show that the temperature exceeded 900 degrees. One image shows that the glass doors of an oven had shattered. Bodies will of been destroyed & it will be extremely difficult to identify or recover DNA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    They don't have to be reduced to ash to make DNA identification impossible - I was talking about this with a friend with a background in forensic anthropology. She commented that DNA identification is difficult after major fires as there needs to be enough soft tissue surviving to be able to get a good sample and also there needs to be a person with whom the DNA can be compared. If the entire family is dead, that becomes impossible. If the person is a recent immigrant without family in the UK, that becomes impossible.

    No, sadly, there will be bodies that are assumed to be X person, but it will never be proven beyond doubt.

    Have you ever heard of the Al Quds march in London??

    Carrying flags of extremists?? Calling for the destruction of Israel?? Funny how a few carrying St Georges flags will get thousands running around calling racism but thousands of anti Israeli's carrying Hizbollah flags are applauded

    Yes a standard house fire, not a tower where the top floors were still burning the the next day

    If I am wrong about Corbyn then I hold my hands up but I guess it will all come out sooner or later

    Al Quds march where Hizbollah flags are freely handed out to people including children all calling for the destruction of Israel

    There are pictures of young children wrapped in Jihadist flags with pictures of guns on them at the AlCnuts Day thing.

    There were objections but I think Khan brushed them aside, despite having forbidden other marches (I'm not 100% sure which ones though, but the point is there were objections, and they were pushed aside to allow this vile parade of hate mongers)

    I've read enough about the identification process to agree that it would be a very lengthy and careful process that shouldn't be rushed. People need to stop bellowing at them to release the final figures already.

    We care about Israel now?

    Youve moved on from the protests against this tragedy to protests against Israel.

    Speaking of violence by Corbynites who've hijacked the Left and are openly aiming to overthrow the PM and have not to my knowledge been condemned by Corbyn himself, do people realise that a volunteer who was devoting himself to helping Grenfell fire survivors was beaten up on Friday?
    *Because he was wearing a suit.* They thought he was a Tory councillor and saw him as fair game.
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/18/tory-councillor-beaten-grenfell-tower-protesters-revealed-volunteer/?WT.mc_id=tmgliveapp_iosshare_An9DjPZhtHjF
    Set about by a pack of the Corbynite thugs with their hoods up and faces covered.
    They seem to be part of the 'movement' for ''Justice for Grenfell''. The main organisers of this 'movement' seems to be Corbyn's footsoldiers, Momentum, the SWP who are accused of looking for donations and handing out Socialist Worker Party leaflets in the area, and ''BAMN, By Any Means Necessary'' who look like a fairly extreme group of 'activists'.

    I live in an apartment building that is a lot less than half as wide as the one in london, and there are 4 apartments on each floor. I would say there were at least 8 flats per floor in that building. 24 floors, an average of 3 people per flat = 576 people.
    Or at least there shouldn't be

    In this case there is a lot of "shouldn't be".

    The woman is in shock and grieving, people tend to lash out in circumstances like that and they certainly aren't logical.

    It was on the news 120flats in the building. But either way there was not 600people killed in the fire as that woman was trying to say
