I didn't know they had said this tbh. All the ID's of people who weren't listed as staying there would have gone too so there is scope for taking advantage or losing out big time because it could work out either way. Even just an overnight friend is a problem and hard to prove so Grenfell is...

A spokesman said Hotpoint was working with the authorities after its FF175BP model was found to have started the devastating blaze last week. He urged consumers who believe they own that model or the FF175BG to contact the company on a freephone hotline or visit the website to register their...

There was always going to be one or a few taking advantage of this. Some residents are claiming up to 500 are dead or missing so if you can hide your wife and kids you could be on to a very big payout. There are probably quite a few scams possible in this.

I believe that in many if not all cases the windows are built into the cladding system. It would be ahell of a lot easier if they were independent, not sure if they are though.

Just the public. We don't even know how many people are supposed to have survived.

It looks like the sort of place where there may have been some flats filled with illegal imigrants or people putting up extended families. People are claiming 500 but anyone who died in the flat without being registrered as a tenant may never be counted let alone identified.

At least this will stop all the conspiracy theorists.

I am surprised that in Germany this cladding is banned for high rise type of use whilst not being the EU standard. I thought that being part of the EU meant all members had to conform building and safety regs. Reynobond aluminium coated panels with a flammable plastic core, known as PE, conform...

Yep, and that's not a settlement, this is to put money in peoples pockets now to help them out of trouble. Shared out between 120 flats/families is about £40k each.

Yep sort of fizzled out.

It's ripe for the opportunists to go on a looting spree. Ironically if it hadn't been for that stupid cladding blunder they were living in newly refurbished homes in the wealthiest part of London. A lot of people who work in the area like the police, fire brigade and NHS workers have to commute...

So a riot is starting.

Slightly different because the Queen only met a selected few.. If May had gone to face a hostile crowd of hundreds it could have started a riot and then the police would get it as well.

Refuted though, however if true should mean jail time for someone.

That must have been the longest walk of his life (so far). To be fair though May could have been lynched. Sadik Khanhad had bottles thrown at him apparently so there could have been riots.

No it doesn't sound like scrimping, it's a failure on several levels. From what I understand about Brighton Council they will nitpick every aspect of a development and this is the sort of thing I am sure they would have spotted. The developer and council would be working very close with each...

I get your point. This was from the Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/grenfell-tower-fire-resistant-cladding-kensington-inquiry-latest-reynobond-london-a7792781.html

So what is coming out is that the cladding type used is illegal to install above four stories in the US, and the cladding recommended for high rise would have only been an added cost of £5000 on the £10m total refit.

I get your point but in reality it would be hard to implement. If the fire regs are updated and residents were told that a safety net system would added to all high rise blocks of flats I wouldn't be satisfied as a resident. It has to be sprinkler systems added and all substandard cladding taken...
