When disaster strikes it follows that she be amongst the victims, relating to them, offering reassurance and support.<br />She ought to have been the 'people's' voice. Instead it was left to public volunteers who rallied and showed they have real concern and more to point, hearts.<br />To choose not to do that is cowardly and just incited anger and resentment from those suffering from heart wrenching grief.<br />If you can't fill the shoes don't accept the role. <br />As far as controlling fire goes, no there is no way to stop accidents happening initially, but yes there are ways to stop the spread of it. These measures were ignored in living accommodation for 100s and 100s of people with only one route of exit.<br />That is wholly unacceptable and I'm genuinely astonished that after a similar incident a few years ago and numerous letters of recommendations appealing for high rise buildings fire prevention to be looked into, nothing was done.<br />I totally sympathise with the victims and their families. This was preventable. It is criminal neglect.<br /><br />Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-85965225691909920612017-06-19T08:34:30.350+01:002017-06-19T08:34:30.350+01:00Yes, best not to go unless you can help, I guess. ...Yes, best not to go unless you can help, I guess.
