My condolences to those who have suffered due to this horrific fire. My full support to the emergency services and the community spirit and who will sort this awful mess out.

Fridge caught fire. Set window frame alight and fell down. Set fire to the new flammable cladding. The fire spread quicker than the fire fighters. Lots of dead. Today's exercise is just getting the bodies out.

I doubt they wanted to burn it down.

Thank you.
The cladding was foaming as it burnt according to accounts. What a pile of shit.

And yet...
Rydon, the company behind the refurbishment work, said the cladding and other changes had been made to help with "improving thermal insulation and modernising the exterior of the building".
However...
A statement from Rydon after the work was finished noted that "rain screen cladding, replacement windows and curtain wall façades have been fitted giving the building a fresher, modern look".
That statement included a quote from Nick Paget-Brown, the leader of the council, who remarked on how happy he was to see "first-hand how the cladding has lifted the external appearance of the tower".
That public statement after the completion made no reference to insulation, only discussing the change in the external appearance of the building.
