A few more damning facts have arisen at the enquiry

Combustible materials were added to the cladding of Grenfell Tower that were not in the design, the public inquiry has heard, while features to stop fire spreading through the facade were missing or installed upside down.

Dr Barbara Lane, a director at the Arup consultancy appointed as a technical expert by the inquiry, made the discoveries during five days investigating the cladding system at the burned-out building.

The decision to use combustible materials to wrap the 24-storey tower has been widely blamed for spreading the fire that claimed 72 lives. Closer inspection has shown the full extent of the flammable materials that were used.

Lane told the inquiry that styrofoam core panels were installed between the new windows and around kitchen vents; ethylene propylene diene terpolymer was used around the new window frames; and polyurethane expanding foam was used to fill joints in the insulation and in gaps between new windows and walls – all combustible materials.

She also found combustible polymeric foam above some windows, even though there was no evidence of it being specified, and polyisocyanurate foam that was not in the design.

She spelled out how the ”stay put” strategy failed just 32 minutes after the first 999 call was made.

She said the strategy did not “consider relevant” the possibility of a multi-storey building fire or one that penetrated multiple flats, despite the fact that more than 100 fire doors inside Grenfell did not meet fire regulations.

In a submission that will support the fire brigade’s position that it was not responsible for the failings of the “stay put” policy, Lane stressed it was “a design condition and … not a fire brigade policy”.


And the fire doors had not been replaced for over 40 years, and would not pass today's safety standards.

Of course they do.

There are literally millions with genuine good hearts and a will to help the unfortunate in the UK.

Sadly, they rarely get the headlines. Notoriety sells papers.


Yes, it's called the "big society"
People who help out in charity shops
People who collect unwanted food from supermarkets and take it to places where meals are cooked for the homeless
People who volunteer at men's sheds etc etc

All done in silence, with no fuss and no financial reward.


:mrgreen:

You're a bit out of date mungo, you know Cameron isn't PM anymore, right? :ooer:

And starts topics on forums. :wink:
That’s why I don’t think focussing on the ‘scumbags’ helps in this tragedy, takes away the attention from who really suffered.

There seems to be a scumbag for every occasion.

One can recall from recent memory the man who stole another person's number in the London Marathon, and got his medal, the scumbags who rob the elderly in the street or in their homes, the scumbags who treat people they are caring for like dirt, scumbags who steal charity boxes, scumbags who cheat people of their life savings, in fact just too many scumbags to list.

There's no doubt that this country is losing its' moral compass.

And sadly, it ain't never coming back.

Which brings us nicely back round to the title of the thread about illegal immigrants who claimed to be in the Grenfell fire. I see about another half dozen people were named yesterday who also put in false and fraudulent claims. Scumbags all of them and yes we should have huge sympathy for the GENUINE people who either died or were affected by the fire.


I’d rather focus on them than the ‘scumbags.’

How about the failure of the fire service to evacuate the building ?

The fire doors that only lasted half the advertised time when tested ?

It will all be in the report.


The Police will have to prove that there was a safe alternative for evacuation in this particular Incident ,

One has to have sympathy with Dany Cotton the Chief Fire Officer she had been in the position less than six months to be submitted to an Incident like Grenfell Towers which is a type of Incident that possibly happens once in a career lifetime, IMO there is no way her as Chief Fire Officer and London Fire Brigade can be held responsible for the " Stay Put " Policy

From what they were saying yesterday, seems they’ll find they gave the best advice at the time. To stay put unless the fire is in your flat or if the corridors are filled with smoke/fire.
The fire service seem to have standard advice for tower blocks. I expect they’ll say no one expected the cladding to become ablaze the way it did.
