Exposed: Cash for logos and drive by inspections

Zoomup, Grenfell is immensely more complex than these press reports. It probably started with a loose connection in an appliance, but this happens in may appliances, and causes quite a number of fires. IF the fire policies had been satisfactory no one would have been hurt, and a single flat would have been damaged. The rest has taken FOUR years to examine, and not a single action or installation was satisfactory (my view having studied a great deal of it). The fixed electrics in the flat worked properly, both the RCD and CPD tripped during the fire. The rest followed because it appears that no one with any responsibility understood that fire compartmentation is very complex and very easily breached. Once this happens disaster is inevitable.

The biggest problem is that there are many buildings just the same, and there have been more fires showing exactly the same thing since, just none quite as serious.

The Press loves simple "shock horror" stories. The inquiry is such a story but wouldn't fit newspapers and is more complex than any whodoneit book.
