After having read most of the comments in this thread about your local politicians and those with responsibility(people who are in lead of some organization or similar)
I came to think of a Danish saying "De står i kø ved håndvasken(=they are standing in queue at the washbasin. Meaning "politicians are trying to justify their actions or lack of action" Markus |

Why can't politicians stop thinking about themselves for once and get on with it, these people have gone though enough hardship without some twerp of a politician more concered about their image is my tie on straight!

And that is precisely what one of the main reasons for an enquiry are....to get to the truthful facts.

Hmm we have a report of a fire in a tower. Should we send the tall ladder??
Decisions decisions Nah, what if the fire is on the first floor. Should not take the chance of sending a tall ladder to a tall building that is on fire. The ladder might not get used! Seriously, I can understand why a fire department would not automatically send all its equipment to a fire as they also need to maintain the capability of responding to a second fire. Sometimes there are two or more fires at the same time. But statistically, what are the odds of two towers being on fire where the first one does not need a tall ladder and the second did? Fire tends to go up and you need to get people down. Take the chance and send your tall ladder to the first tower that is on fire. You know that on is on fire. Why withhold a potentially critical piece of equipment on the chance that at the same time another fire might be reported?

There's a reason why Theresa May wanted a public enquiry and not an inquest one and that's because the Government are in charge of what comes out of it and what is not.
30 or 40 years from now the true facts will emerge and how parts of it were not divulged at the time so as not to incriminate people in the know, it won't be coming out of this one I can assure you of that. Scapegoats and cover ups go hand in glove with the Government of the day and none of us will be any the wiser for it.

The whole truth will never ever come out not even after the guilty have all passed away and it's 100 years later.

Still far too early to make the above figures with any level of certainty.

^ close enough
Well: 350-14=336-255= 81...! My biggest worry is the obvious vulnerability to residents of other similarly clad buildings to terrorists. Also the high percentage of immigrant population residing in the towers is very unfortunate as they had to have come to England, in many cases to improve their lives security-wise; an awareness of the lack which is now horribly apparent. This is most distressing.
