    In fairness, it was the droning vapid poorly constructed sentences of ill judged waffle that offended me more than the politics. Ruined my early morning ablutions, it did.

    So things can be done about bad things on social media and quickly too.

    I'm not going to comment on your views, I'm just going to ask you 'politely' to **** off.

    And as Billy Connolly says "**** off doesn't mean go away, it means **** OFF.

    I think someone is going to get strung for this....!!!!!... fire resistant cladding for the whole building would have cost £5000 more...

    I do have a question more of an eyebrow raised question really... if the refurbishment cost £8.6 million and the panel supply and installation cost £3.7 million, where was the other £5 million spent?..

    A lot of emotional responses to this tragedy on this thread, I've read them all, this social media thing is becoming a monster, and although like most people I use the internet to my advantage I find it hard to understand the mentality of some people and what they deem acceptable to post. But on the subject of an inquiry I would surmise that anyone in authority who could be conceivably linked to the so called improvements to this tower block, be it lowly council officers or offcials in Westminster, will be scrambling to cover their tracks and their backs to absolve themselves of any culpability in this whole sorry affair. The higher the decision making goes the more deeper those tracks will now be getting covered, 'nothing to do with me guv' comes to mind, all the fine words coming from Parliament at the moment will mean nothing if one of their own has made one hell of a mess in association with this tower block 'refurbishment'. I congratulate Howden Tigress on her post, a little sanity there, but as always actions speak louder than words, maybe we will see how serious some of these comments from ministers have been acted upon, I won't hold my breath.

    Interesting question of whether a public inquiry is the right thing or whether it should be an inquest

    Inquiry is goverment led and reporting, apparently from different source, direct to the PM. Families won't have the right to ask questions
    Inquest is independently led through coroners and at coroners inquests the families, or their legal team, can always ask questions of anyone giving evidence

    An inquest leading on to an inquiry will be considered.

    The key will be determining the remit and terms of reference to ensure that the inquiry does not preclude the culpability of those who could be held to account as being ultimately responsible.

    43 confirmed dead in Portugal so far, many died in their cars trying to escape. Horrific.

    They are. However those dogs are not the dogs working in Grenfell Tower
    Those are actually dogs from Humberside Fire used to detect petrol etc in arson investigations
    Someone used their photo by accident and it's done the rounds ever since despite their handlers, who I know, confirming that they hadn't been to Grenfell
