Think you should have a word with yourself... The 2 situations are entirely different!

I think you should read the post again and explain why these people were knowingly demanding answers within such a short space of time, Corbyn was politicalpoints scoring whilst the flames were still burning, I've never heard his point of view on this before. The point being his motives were not altruistic but political, meanwhile those affected by the Shoreham Air Crash have to just suck it up. You understand very clearly what i'm saying, its about answers and the time it takes to get them.

I mean no disrespect whatsoever to the victims and families of victims of the Shoreham air crash - truly I don't.
But it seems likely that the process for bringing a conclusion from the two incidents will be very different.
Shoreham has a Coroner's Inquest. Grenfell Towers is more likely to be a Public Inquiry. Although a Public Inquiry will (likely) take longer than an Inquest, partly due it's the wider-ranging nature, there is the opportunity to make interim recommendations - e.g. on changes to Building Regulations - before the Inquiry is completed.
So, there is the potential for swift recommendations to emerge from an Inquiry. I don't believe that a Coroner has that ability, particularly where a jury is sitting.
Whether that will be the case - we will have to wait and see...

You may be correct or not, my point is that whilst people are suffering Corbyn and his cohorts seek to knowingly inflict unrealistics expextations on those at the lowest mental and physical state. They very well know that answers could not be given so shortly after the tragedy, even with the building smouldering and being too hot for the firefighters to enter on certain floors. On the one hand he critices the firefighters for not diseminating information then he applauds them for their bravery. Full of contradictions and political opportunism, he is the lowest of the low.

Ah, OK. I had not seen any reports of Corbyn criticising firefighters - quite the opposite in fact.

As I have zero interest in yet another left vs right discussion, particularly with regard to Grenfell Towers, I am out of this particular sub-element.

I have no idea what Corbyn has or hasn't said about the fire fighters but being critical of anyone for not giving out information while also applauding their bravery does not appear contradictory to me - they're far from mutually exclusive aren't they?

"The apartments are "newly-built social housing" in a complex where the price of private homes starts at £1.5m."

Don't get me wrong, it's excellent news something is being done BUT how can properties STARTING at £1.5m ever be classed as social housing ?
