Sounds like some people might be trapped.

You're not in possession of the facts either though are you. The authorities have said the search will take maybe a few months. Some sublet their flats and there were also people without leave to remain in the UK (that's illegals to you).
What's been reported there is an estimate . Nobody really knows yet.


Actually Brynnie, they do now know with quite a degree of accuracy. The Met have categorically stated that the number of deceased will not reach 3 figures and let's all thank God for that.

As I said at the time, the reports circulating about 300 people and so on, were all coming from dubious sources and were never consistent with what was being said by the groups helping which is why I questioned it when mentioned.

The biggest issue with people without right to remain, was them coming forward to say they were safe. Once they realised that no action would be taken, more did so.

Well that's amazing. 255 escaped but none needed blankets or any other supplies collected by the public and manned by volunteers. Even though they had lost EVERYTHING. That doesn't make sense.

And that kind of indicates that only 80 or so people were trapped on the upper floors?

Forgive me but I'm not quite buying this yet.......

Mind you, in fairness fourteen did go out for the evening.


I don't understand what your first sentence is supposed to mean?

The relief centres helped many, many people.

So nobody wants to comment on the fact that the judge is in fact more than qualified to lead the inquiry?

What about the "bruddah" fireman who saw 42 dead in one room?
The government/right-wing press/BBC/neoliberal metropolitan elite kept that quiet, eh?

Part-time fireman I'm guessing. Good of the world's leading forensic expert to do his bit though.
Probably likes the uniform. Babe magnet, innit.

Actually I think it was someone who'd been 'told' by a fireman that the story came from wasn't it?

I said pages ago that the number of dead was not the issue, since the fact that anyone died was awful.

But I could never understand the enthusiasm for the number being as high as possible.

Most sane people would surely have been happier if the number had been as close to nil as possible. And I really wish Lammy would shut up. After all, a lot of people would think a Peterborough Cathedral choral scholar who went on to study at SOAS then Harvard Law School wasn't that in touch with the Grenfell Tower residents and the opportunities life presents them with, however humble his background.

I'd be delighted if they have the exact number. But given the circumstances, i.e. the fire spreading so quickly up the outside , the fact they were initially told to stay inside their flats and no sprinklers to help at least give them a chance of making it down from the top floors it would be an absolote miracle if the death toll stays under 100. more. But if they've gone through manifests and housing lists and they all tally then who am I to argue. I'd be delighted if that is the true and real figure as opposed to hundreds.

It's strange though that with so many survivors (272??) the uptake in the relief centre seems to have been almost non existent. Considering these were poor people who'd lost everything.

I don't know what you mean when you say the uptake in the relief centres was non existent?

Having spoken to someone whose son was in charge of one of them, that's simply not true. They were helping so many people with clothes, bedding, baby clothes, toiletries, food, everything.

The amount collected and distributed was phenomenal.

That came from a sky TV interview from someone who also worked in the relief centre.

Came across this earlier in regards to the police estimate of the death toll and the residents groups own manifest from people they actually lived side by side with and are still unaccounted for. A clip from the last public meeting is included too.

http://news.sky.com/story/sceptical-grenfell-residents-create-own-missing-list-1

The question that needs to be asked is this - "if the police estimate is correct what would be the point in these people lying about a bogus death toll? How does it benefit THEM?".

I'm quite uncomfortable with this disparity if I'm honest. It's very disturbing to say the least.

Yes, she certainly has intelligence and certainly knows how to 'play the crowd'.


she clearly isn't intelligent enough to justify her position in the labour party though

Then again I guess her previous relationship with the boss helped eh :)

Oh well I don't know what she was talking about then. Unless she meant the amount of people was far less than she was expecting. It was a quite emotional video clip though. So who knows??

Either Wednesday or Thursday night 'Newsnight' did a piece on the w*nkers like Brynmill who have decided that there has been a cover up and won't be told.
