The reason they added the cladding was because rich locals said they didn't like the look of the build, basically it was too ugly for their pretty little neighbourhood. Who ever's idea it was to cover it in that shit should be shot, fucking idiotic idea. They spent millions on revamping it but didn't put any safety measures.
Apparently people were being told to go to the roof and they'd be reacued by helicopter but no one came to save them. Makes me feel sick even reading about it, this shouldn't be happening.
Shout out to Corbyn who said they should open the rich empty homes up in the area and give people a home to live in. And a fuck you to the dude who argued against that and said they can just go in student accommodation and said corbyn was just being left wing.......
.....I've just looked for this dudes name but can't find this anywhere, looks like the tories took that down quickly.
Someone needs to be strung up for this.
