Maybe all conspiracy theories should be combined into one.

On second thoughts, some already do that, it's all the fault of the Jews. Or giant lizards. It all points to Zeity!

There is some truth to this, because had the building been owned and operated by a private company with a brand, such as Virgin for example, then it is very much in the financial interest of the company to prevent fires or other similar problems from occurring. This is because of the huge loss of money resulting from the reputational damage to the company.

Whereas if the building is owned by the public sector, the inevitability of corruption and back handers results in a reduction in safety.

No, it is very much in the interest of the freeholder to have it burnt down, claim on insurance and re-develop it a luxury flats.

Individually.

You can do some digging via Google to find out what types of organisations tend to self insure.

Public bodies are exempt from many laws where if you are a private company you have to have insurance.

The only other organisations* who also self-insured are bus companies. This is one reason bus companies have so many CCTV cameras on their buses.

*There are probably a few more but those where the ones I was interested in when I looked it up.

NHS trusts in England

Feck knows what they do in the rest of the UK.

I know the government departments I did work for at the time paid them separately. I checked up because I was trying to see the claim trail if I threw hot coffee or similar on someone.
