Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostYou're wilfully (or stupidly) reading too much into what I said, which was that I had heard one or two rumours and didn't know if they were true. Quite probably, as NF said, the rumours are bollocks, and I don't dispute that.
But the main point I meant to make was that _if_ there was some discreditable (e.g. crazy cooking technique) or criminal (e.g. growing or brewing drugs) reason for the fire then we wouldn't be told. Anyone who disputes that is the gullible cretin, not me!

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostAre you actually asking that CUK posts should be backed up by sources or evidence?
If that is the case, could mod decisions be backed up by evidence?
Perhaps if mods were implying/stating that people died due to them doing something illegal, and that the local council is not responsible, then yes, I'd expect evidence to be supplied.

Being in London for a conference tomorrow, I took the H&C past there earlier on. I didn't know how close the block is to the track, which is elevated at that point. Very shocking to see such devastation so close

As such we have to accept that he is a liar, or is being fed lies by his controllers (EDL/BNP/DM/UKIP) and is too stupid to question the lies as they would then rock the fundamentals of his faith. Much easier to say that it's rumoured to be a drug den than to accept anything that would mean that innocent people died in a fire.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI've heard rumours that the flat where the fire started was being used to grow cannabis, and a grow light overheated.
But even if that is true, we'll almost certainly never be told. Much easier to blame Hotpoint for a mysterious incendiary fridge.
Also, apparently the guy who lived in the flat has gone AWOL (with or without the Government's connivance).

I had suspected a meth lab rather than a cannabis farm...
I work in an office building attached to Manchester Arena, whose main entrance was in the foyer area which was bombed. We've been back in the building three weeks ago, but half of the glass fronted entrance into the foyer is boarded up (glass broken by the shrapnel), the unsmashed panes have had opaque film placed over them. My desk pretty much overlooks that area. Builders have been in the foyer, mainly securing the area (I am unable to see into it, but based on a journalist who gained access to the foyer yesterday as part of Prince Charles' visit, the flooring still bears the scars of the explosion, and apparently concrete and metalwork has holes in it from the shrapnel. We were told cameras were not allowed into the foyer as it is still being treated as a crime scene) but they have been quite noisy. The main entrance to the foyer from Victoria Station has been concealed behind scaffolding.
Seeing that, every day, is an incredibly sobering experience indeed.

A cheap secondhand fridge, probably not well looked after, going up, though - that sounds a lot more likely.

Government reassured by quango that flammable cladding was safe last April
Paid adviser BRE Global said 'no evidence' safety checks on towers 'were failing'

Out of date building regulations are being blamed for allowing cladding through
US firm halts sales of Grenfell-type panels sending its share price plummeting
'Convoluted' fire regulations were last looked at in 2005 and are a 'total mess'
Of course, being the Wail, this could well be nonsense....
