Why on earth would a serious party leader recommend seizing property, with all the complicated legal (and other) ramifications and huge costs that would have, when it would be far easier/quicker and make more sense just to rent accommodation for the families concerned until suitable permanent housing be found? He's done it for one reason only, to stir up more us v them hatred in just the same way as they've done countless times in my lifetime. The sort of hatred in which buildings are burned and ironically people could have died. I hope his totally irresponsible stirring doesn't turn out to cost lives too. If Corbyn's going to tell us that Labour would do it all differently he'll have to explain why they didn't do that all before not just whine on and on about what the Tories should be doing in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. |

And I think you know why Labour didn't do anything radical during their last administration - they were quite a different flavour to the Labour party we've got today. ---------- Post added at 19:30 ---------- Previous post was at 19:29 ---------- Quote:

I wonder if everyone whose home burns down is now entitled to £5,500 ?
Perhaps the Insurance companies will now deduct that sum from any insurance claim. Some interesting comments from a BBC report ; Quote:

There's nothing different about Corbyn - he's been playing the same old tune for decades for anyone old enough to remember. The same old hate filled us v. them garbage which is perennially used to cover up Labour's failings. |

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
Apparently, because of the demographics of the people living in this tower block, it has transpired that there was overcrowding and that illegal immigrants were living there.
There is to be an amnesty so that these people can come forward to claim the money that they are 'owed'! I wonder if the owners of the Titanic paid out compensation to any stowaways? Meanwhile, there were/are London born people living on the streets/forced out of the capital... |

Good point! |
Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
There should be no amnesty and no payments to illegal immigrants and even the thought of that demonstrates why this country is becoming a joke. From what I've read so far it was a tenant on the fourth floor responsible for the fire and they just left without raising the alarm great neighbour there. The decisions that led to that cladding need to be asked and answered but we also have to look at responsibility that may lie with the tenants as well, I've been to tower blocks before where doors were wedged open and smoke detectors disabled because people wanted to smoke in comfort. There is definately blame and responsibility within the council but at this stage all avenues of blame and responsibility need to be looked at.

Adele turned up at a fire station that battled the fire, she knocked on their window loaded with cakes for a chat and cuddle.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
I'm trying to work out how a claimed 600 people would fit into a total of 225 bedrooms, in mainly 1 or 2 bedroom flats.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
Not sure how accurate the 600 people figure is but there were many families in that block. Children could share a room etc.
