That’s not to say he started it...but whatever was happening there the thing went up very fast throughout the outside of the building.

My guess is that if,by chance,it *was* set it would be damn difficult to prove it.And given that the Mayor of London is a dirty moslem Marxist there's no way he'd allow any such investigation.

The building in question housed London's "disadvantaged" so I'm sure it was poorly designed,poorly constructed,poorly maintained and poorly looked after by residents.

A 24 story tower with NO FIRE sprinklers !

At the time of it's design in 1967, this was not uncommon, even in the USA. Not all of these have been retrofitted even in 2017.

Likely so....unfortunately as so often happens with “disadvantaged”...they scream the loudest...which is why it was remodeled a couple years ago.

Disgraceful since you have no evidence.

Cheap plastic cladding on Grenfell Tower is believed to have carried the flames so quickly.

Planning documents suggest fire-resistant cladding was initially chosen, but later ditched to save just £6,250.

Yesterday, MailOnline revealed that the bosses of the company that installed Grenfell Tower’s allegedly deadly cladding were accused by HMRC of pumping £2.5million into tax avoidance schemes.
