Of course some people die in a violent way. That's a fact.

The storylines the corporate media put out with these staged events are pure fiction.

As well as the complete lack of independent footage you have so called witnesses, clearly reading from a script. The usual no emotion, some of them even smiling/giggling and all of them perfectly clean and tidy.

As usual, how could the corporate media within a day, name or know how many allegedly died?

Where are the photos of all the many ambulances who logically would have been at the scene?

And of course the usual 'hero' stories. This one from an alleged fireman who was also allegedly one of the first on the scene at the 7/7 bombing. Funny that eh? Another over used storyline of theirs. 7/7 was also a staged production, full of ridiculous photoshopped pictures - as all of these events are.

And then there's the stories of children/babies being thrown out of windows and miraculously neatly caught five/ten storeys down.

It's all bullshit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72747881


Honestly, there are retards and there are retards, you are a fucking idiot of a retard.

I literally drive past that tower every day you can clearly see it visibly from the A40

The thing was ablaze on the morning I was going to work they hadnt closed the roads yet until that evening and I saw the fucking thing with my own eyes.

The A40 was open the following day and you can see the burnt out shell of the building.

Seriously, grow a fucking pair and head down there and see the people and tell them they are all crisis actors.

I reckon you might last 2 minutes before being torn apart and I would laugh my ass off.

Buildings catch fire, its a matter of fact. This one just seems to be one bad fuck up after another that has led to a massive loss of life.

I don't understand why you seem to think this is a hoax?
I honestly don't get that line of thinking?

I don't think they were saying that the fire itself was a hoax because you could see the fire but there's a lot of things that don't add up for me in the way it's being portrayed in the media. The other points they made are legitimate IMO. Wasn't till I read them that I realised I hadn't actually seen any ambulances which seems very odd with such a huge blaze and especially as the news reports say people had been taken to hospital. The other thing a mate of mine pointed out is there only seems to be pictures of one hose pipe being aimed at the tower. I don't know how many fire engines they had down there but surely there'd be loads of hoses aimed at that kind of fire?

thats the thing, if you don't know the area, it would be hard to understand that there are bollards and railings and other buildings round there, its just so built up that you literally can't drive around it.

They will have to come down hard this time. People will want some one to go to jail. they won't be able to brush this one under the carpet.

Apparently there are at least another 300 tower blocks in the UK with the same cladding from the same company.

If I was living in one of them I would be fitting a smoke alarm and have an exit plan because the way that building went up, I wouldn't want to be sitting around waiting to be saved.

The death toll in the London high-rise fire has risen to 30 people as dozens of others remain missing, British police confirmed on Friday. Firefighters continued to search the smoldering ruins after fire ripped through the building early Wednesday morning. The death toll is still expected to rise substantially. Some have speculated that the number of dead could exceed 100. "From a personal perspective, I really hope it isn't," Metropolitan Police commander Stuart Cundy responded to the speculation. Twenty-four people are being treated in the hospital, including 12 in critical care. An investigation was launched on Thursday to determine the cause of the fire, though there is no indication it was started deliberately at this time, authorities said

Its just a take from the electoral roll, or the census or estimating by number of flats and averages.

But it's only saying how many would be missing if all 650 were present, plus it hasn't updated the known dead count.

Firefighters are saying at least 200 bodies they're not ones to usually excaterate either.

This week is going to be interesting, especially with today being fathers day and there are many fathers without their children and children without fathers, tempers and emotions are going to be mixed and frayed, when emotions are mixed people can't think clearly and that's dangerous.

Hmmm - I think it would be fair to say that the impression given by the media is that Grenfell Tower was a bit of a shabby shithole, full of immigrants on Housing benefit.

Take a look at this. It's a listing for a 2 bed flat in the Tower, which was available from May 2017.

Pretty luxurious by anyone's standards wouldn't you say?

Chatter about over 500 missing possibly dead. Dunno how accurate

Seems a bit much
 Quoting: Taskforce88


I think they estimate that there were about 500 people in the building. The figures they are putting out don't add up because with the amount of people in hospital, with the dead they have already confirmed, and the people accounted for that got out or were rescued seems to place the amount at between 300-350 meaning some 150-200 are missing.

I stopped by there today just to have a look around and the amount of pictures of missing people are a lot more then the 58 the police are saying.

But it's hard to gauge the true figure because they know who's in hospital and who's been found, so some of those pictures might be people they already located.

I think they are drip feeding the figures to try and keep a lid on the anger.

There is DEFINITELY a lot of tension in the area.

The a/c's right. These were 100% council owned. The only ones who could buy them were the tenants. Forgive me but you're being a bit naive. Having had experience of the housing dept in the past, I know how it works. Tenants would approach developers/investors to lend them the money in return for a share of future high rental income etc. The whole State housing system's being scammed on a huge scale.

As stated above these flats were originally owned by council tenants. They were the ones who bought them at greatly reduced prices, not someone to buy in from outside. It is very relevant as council housing should stay council housing. Ex-tenants HAVE made lots of money and now there is no council housing for the people who need it.

I am not doubting what you have found, but curious as why some are rented from other social, and who are the 2 rented private landlord? Those flats must have been council owned at one time, the tenants must have bought them and have now become private landlords.

Sadly a lot of people have lost their lives, but I think a lot of corruption will come to light and it won't only be at the top.

I suppose we can never find out how many persons were living in each flat. The voters list won't be accurate, but then how many people in that block did vote....?

That's interesting.

So, if there are 110 flats, I've forgotten how many in hospital, add those already declared dead, plus all the tenants alive and well, how the hell can there be hundreds supposedly dead and being covered up???

Ah yes, but it became privately owned when a ex-social housing tenant bought it cheaply from the council. They made a shot load of money.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70895794


Not in that area it isn't, the cost of those properties even an old flat would require someone to buy in from outside or have employment, and a good credit file too.

But again it has no relevance as only some of the flats were privately owned.
 Quoting: Anderson_G


The a/c's right. These were 100% council owned. The only ones who could buy them were the tenants. Forgive me but you're being a bit naive. Having had experience of the housing dept in the past, I know how it works. Tenants would approach developers/investors to lend them the money in return for a share of future high rental income etc. The whole State housing system's being scammed on a huge scale.

Recent example. Someone found a missing Grenfell tenant..

"He wasn't at the flat, he was visiting Egypt ( a country he fled and received the flat after claiming asylum),relatives were staying there"
