Anyone -— even the lowliest human being— has a right to expect that their housing will not be a death trap by design.
By “design” I mean the contractors, inspectors, and housing authorities knew the cladding was highly flammable, ignored warnings and went with it anyway.
There’s criminal liability here.
As I understand it the flammable cladding was illegal according to old UK regulations, but was made legal by the EU.
Which means the building was up to code, at least as far as the cladding goes.
The fact that the cladding was a fire hazard is something we’ll have to take up with the Green lobby.
I’m interested in how a fridge blew up - if that’s what actually happened.
Thank you. It’s scary how some people here think 100 people who were poor and in subsidized housing is no big deal
