The aftermath of the tower block fire is leading to recriminations and, it seems to me, people are blaming everyone but themselves? (That is, those in "officialdom")

Now, they're throwing people out of their homes with very little notice and if they won't leave, they're going to "remove" them?

Where do you begin? Leaving aside the installation of the flammable nature of the cladding for the moment, I suppose the design of the buildings in the first place left a lot to be desired?

However, since then, there must have been inspections of some sort regarding the fire "regulations" and the current state didn't just happen overnight? Those buildings were "OK" last week but suddenly they're so dangerous those living there must leave "right now"? Seems a massive over-reaction?

Fire doors are supposed to hold a fire back for a while and they're supposed to have closers on them so that they're never left open. Used regularly, they're a nuisance for those passing through them and many are either jammed open or have the closers removed or inactivated.

In the end, "blame" will be levelled at "someone" or some official body but who is really to blame if blame there is?

Returning to the cladding, it seems pretty clear that a massive "mistake" was made in not checking the fire resistance or otherwise of the cladding before it was installed?

At the moment, no-one can say whether the cladding used was "to a specification" or whether the cladding was a substitute for what was originally specified when the cladding was replaced?

No-one can say (yet) whether someone knowingly allowed the substitution of a specified type of cladding with a cheaper type or if that was done deliberately to make more money by charging for the more expensive type but using the cheaper one. Such things happen and once a certain product has been "approved", those supplying it will try to get their cheaper product substituted to make more money. It goes on, but is anyone checking?????
