    Yesterday they had a shortage of mens clothes.

    Now they can't take any more donations and just need money.

    Though later if they get somewhere to live they will need furniture.

      Apparently the concrete was an eyesore and to make it look better they put cheap tulip badly on the outside.

      Other councils around London and the country have done the same.

            Its all OK, Sadiq Khan has commissioned a report, due by the end of the summer

            Anyway what's the betting all the cladding on other blocks will stay and not be taken down?

            Under these circumstances the full scale of the tragedy is becoming clear and there are pressing questions, which demand urgent answers.

            That is why I am demanding a full, independent public inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower. In light of concerns about the safety of other tower blocks that have been similarly refurbished the inquiry needs to produce an interim report by the end of this summer at the latest.

                No bets needed it will be swept under the carpet - unless someone can be sued which will scare the authorities into doing something.

                  Even better the government refuses to rehouse the people whose homes have just burnt down and have been left destitute.

                    Architects are slaves to fashion and dressing up such concrete towers seems very fashionable.

                      Public shaming has worked - all the families are to be rehoused in the area.
