Yes they do, but Knee jerk reactions do not help.
What else also doesn't help is Corbyn and his ilk trying to turn this disaster into some kind of class war.

BBC's Emily Maitlis accused of 'biased' Grenfell Tower fire coverage
VIEWERS have written to the BBC to complain that its coverage of the Grenfell Tower fire was biased against the Conservatives, as a leading Tory called on broadcasters to show more “patriotism”.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
I'm not a conspiracy theorist with one of those tinfoil hats.
but what's the betting that all these "evacuated" residents in these high rise flats don't get let back in. and they announce that they're going to demolish each and every single one of them. and all the previous tenants get moved out of posh London?
job done.

Camden, Brent, Wythenshawe(Manchester),Barnet, etc posh areas?

The enormous Wythenshawe estate in south Manchester was built post-war with the best intentions - but soon became one of the most crime-ridden areas in the country.

I think that's what the intention here is. they're going to say the cost isn't viable. with the amount of work and what not.
they'll just be scattered outside of London.

For humanitarian reasons we should allow them free access to the NHS until they are fit to travel, then they should be deported. As a gesture of goodwill because of what they may have been through, we could waive our right to prosecute/punish them.
Apparently, we haven't enough money for the NHS and are cutting benefits for our most vulnerable who have contributed to society and there isn't enough housing to go around.
We should rid ourselves of these illegal immigrants ASAP as they have no right to be here. This tragedy (which they wouldn't have been caught up in if they hadn't broken the law) doesn't change this.
As I said earlier, the only argument that I can see to do otherwise is to obtain an accurate body count.

Don't call me a toff as there is no elegance or la-di-da's in my household as you will find me in crocs and casual summer shorts dear papa.

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
One good thing to come out of this tragedy is that Mays Government were going to relax fire safety regulations in schools!
After this incident, this is no longer going to happen (as per The Andrew Marr Show).

Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
The sprinklers in new schools was never a law/rule, just an "expectation". Also it is a relatively recent thing and aimed mainly at protecting the building.
Don't fully get the focus on tower blocks. Other buildings are still at risk. A 6 storey building could just as easily be destroyed by having the insulation.
