Another long wait for justice

Grantanow

Angela Rayner is reported as being ' unhappy' with the rate of progress in removing unsafe cladding from buildings but what is she actually DOING about it?

Having just listened to Angela Raynor on Today, it would seem that the Current Government will be accelerating the removal of unsafe cladding, by way of legal action . The criminal proceedings are in the hands of the police. I expect there is a need for evidence to be cast iron so that those responsible are held fully responsible.
Of course, as with many things coming to light, the last Government were in control over the previous 7 years. Maybe the question should be ‘ what did they do to speed up the cladding removal
‘

How much value do you put on lives lost through the negligence of others?

British justice is a farcical circus protecting those with the money to get representation. It isn't justice as I know it and it isn't fair.

I am always impressed by the dignity of the survivors and the families of the murdered, in the face of the those responsible trying to blame someone else and refusing to accept culpability.

We have people in this country blaming poor people for their anti-social behaviour yet dereliction of public duty and lack of accountability for monitoring standards in the service and manufacturing industries is far more anti-social.

We're living in the wild west where it doesn't matter if you break the law- there's always a way to wheedle your way out if you're part of the establishment.

Well said.

TBH I’m appalled that it’s taken 7 years, and still nobody has properly been held accountable. Nor (AFAIK) have the building regs yet been changed from the ‘guidance’ builders are free to ignore.

And how much has this enquiry cost?? I absolutely dread to think.

Btw didn’t address the OPs question - why it takes so long. I really haven’t a clue but obviously must be terrible for those mourning their loss, having this dragged out for years. My guess it that various parties/agencies being accused of negligence hire the very best legal representation to fight their corner and so it drags on.

Why does somebody always say something like "Lessons have been learned" about various tragedies and miscarriages of justice and then subsequent events prove that they haven't?

Feel so sorry for those who lost loved ones in Grenfell and in any of these scandals who are still looking for justice.
They always say that this should never happen again but unless there is accountability for those involved of course it will happen again.
And for goodness sake let’s stop ignoring those who speak up or issue warnings.
