mickbrown Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Sure, but more reliable than social media! It's fair in the same way a Socialiat Worker article about Theresa May is. Quote

Boby Brno Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 our vary own Amir Khan has gone down all is well nowHe drove down. It took him 45 min.Not one to knock one of our own but him and his entourage almost wiped me out on my scooter on Park Road a week ago. Quote
MickyD Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Great insight into the professionalism and bravery of our firefighters MickyD. Bravo sir. Thanks but I thankfully saw nothing like this. I've no doubt that in their situation is have done my bit as per the training but I'm thankful I never had to. Must admit, the account above gave mange chills. Quote
kent_white Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Amazing that Micky - can't imagine ever being in a situation like that - it must be utterly terrifying. Quote
Sweep Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Wonder how many had insurance Not sure that matters, they would only have contents insurance (if they have any at all) as opposed to buildings insurance (with them being rental flats) and that wouldn't pay out until after an investigation is completed, which in this case could take months and months. I've seen some idiots saying they shouldn't be getting anything off the Government (I think they got £5K yesterday) as they should claim on their buildings insurance.....which you wouldn't expect them to have.

As council tenants we can only get contents insurance.The building is the councils so they insure that. Quote
bolty58 Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Is that not Greece? Picky bastard. Alright then - Westminster democracy. Let's see you get that one back over the net. Quote
only1swanny Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 they were quite fancy flats... a few pics have been released and the ones that had been "done up", looked quite nice.. I'd imagine a lot would have insurance, it's mandatory for rented however I imagine a lot won't have taken it out..as it's never checked... Quote

It's covered in the building charges Quote

Spider Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Most are being re-housed here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40357280 Quote
Traf Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Most are being re-housed here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40357280 Yet Corbyn was ridiculed for suggesting similar. Quote
Spider Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Yet Corbyn was ridiculed for suggesting similar. Can't believe you're making this tragedy political. I was merely pointing out that the authorities have re-homed the victims. Gosh, Traf. Quote
Escobarp Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 These properties are social housing stock within a larger development thus completely different from what our IRA loving weasel of a party leader was stupidly suggesting Quote
frank_spencer Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 These properties are social housing stock within a larger development thus completely different from what our IRA loving weasel of a party leader was stupidly suggesting He was suggesting that the large number of empty properties in the area be used as at least temporary housing for the victims of the tragedy. I see nowt wrong with that. Quote
Escobarp Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 He specified luxury homes I'm led to believe. May be wrong though Quote
Escobarp Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Strange thing is the insurers are responsible for alternative accommodation so why are the govt needing to get involved? Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Strange thing is the insurers are responsible for alternative accommodation so why are the govt needing to get involved? Can you imagine the outcry if they didn't? It has become a political hot potato. Quote
frank_spencer Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Strange thing is the insurers are responsible for alternative accommodation so why are the govt needing to get involved?I think it's the land Lords responsible as it comes under their insurance not the tenant Quote
