  • It's a sad state of affairs when your instant thought is this tragedy occurred because someone somewhere was trying to save money, because this was my instant reaction!

  • A lot of the residents who managed to escape this morning were saying similar things. A lot of anger at the building's designers and those responsible for its maintenance. They seemed to think because they were in a poor part of a prosperous borough they didn't get a look in, and this is what happened. I think the picture of the building burning and glowing orange from the inside is going to stay with me for a long time.

  • There were proposals to completely redevelop the Lancaster West estate. Like the proposal to redevelop the Warick estate where I live, they were rejected, IIRC.
