Re #40
Does it really matter if he was here legally or not the poor man was needlessly killed or murdered, which one depends on your point of view.

Bob it is quite wrong for these people if found guilty to do such things
But many residents still haven't been rehoused and maybe this is an Are better concentrated on

Keef, a couple of months ago I had some DDC council 'casework' for someone who lives locally and is very high up on K&C Housing (commutes by HS1!)
The staff there, in spite of constant abuse by phone, email, post and to their faces have been moving heaven and earth to get these people 'housed' from day 1.
Unfortunately there is a hard core who are refusing all reasonable offers and are quite happy to milk the victim card for all it's worth while being 'temporarily housed' in Hotels I can't afford to stay in.
They are taking the piss.

In which case these people should be offered something completely suitable for their immediate needs with no more offers, either that or moved to somewhere that other less fortunate homeless people get put into.

Correct Jan, but nobody dare do that as the whole tragedy has been politicised by the left.

So what exactly is your point?
That there are bad people in the world?
That there are people who will take advantage of any situation?
Seriously colour me shocked

Grateful to know of ANY disaster over the past say 70yrs in the UK from Aberfan, Hillsborough, London Tube Bombings, Kings Cross Fire, Zeebrugge, Lockerbie etc where there has been over two dozen fraudulent claims involving over £3/4 million - so far.
Grateful also to know of any other disaster which people have tried to exploit for political purposes claiming authorities for example have lied about number of victims or that the cladding was only used 'to save money' by a council without any thought for safety of those in Grenfell Tower (Hundreds of buildings still have 'unsafe' cladding. More than 200 high-rise buildings in England with cladding similar to that used on Grenfell Tower are yet to have work to remove it. Out of 328 buildings that still have aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding, 221 are awaiting work to start as of July 2019).

Disaster provides opportunities. You know that. Or you should: it’s one of the fundamentals of modern capitalism. Don't remember? Ask Mr Friedman. How many convictions, 16? How much fraud, £750k? You’re getting morally outraged about that? Save it. You’ve unheeded the disaster capitalism going on all around you. In Chile. In Haiti. In 2008. In the NHS. I’d say that’s 'exploiting the event for political purposes': offering up a few folk devils as a screen for the real exploitation of other people’s misery.

Fraud is fraud it does not matter whether it involves Grenfell Tower or some individual being scammed by the internet, the only difference is the Captain has a bee in his bonnet about Grenfell so keeps on telling us all about it.

Just trying to see the wood, JH, without those pesky trees obscuring the view.

'Grenfell survivor' who pretended she was dead to avoid a driving ban tells court she was going to commit suicide - so she was just explaining why she could not be prosecuted her for the motoring offences - in advance

Judge: You told me before that her child had died in a car accident.

Do you honestly belief that all this distractional guff makes the iniquity of what happened at Grenfell somehow more excusable?
