are these tower fires to keep the memory of 9/11 alive?

Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

The 2017 Grenfell Tower Conflagration in West London that killed 72 People: A Travesty of Justice as Grenfell Charges Unlikely for Yet Another Two Years!
By Hans Stehling

In a devastating admission of system failure, the Metropolitan Police have said that criminal charges in the matter of the Grenfell Tower block conflagration in West London that killed 72 people on June 14th 2017, are now unlikely to brought until 2021 –  if at all.

Of course, those individuals responsible have presumably already now liquidated their assets and relocated abroad and those companies implicated have, no doubt, likewise re-arranged their assets, executives and professional advisors, accordingly.  Now, in the light of this unprecedented decision of system failure, they have another two years to complete their arrangements.

The facts of the matter are crystal clear.  Polymer foams have been known for over 40 years to be fire-accelerants and to emit deadly hydrogen cyanide (Zyklon B) gas when ignited.   This information has been in public domain for decades and all architects, surveyors, building inspectors, manufacturers and suppliers would have been well aware of the dangers of using such highly combustible and toxic material inside or outside any residential building in the UK, or anywhere else.

The documented dangers were deliberately ignored.  Seventy-two died as a result of gross negligence and no criminal charges have been brought to date.

It is a double catastrophe, for the bereaved, for Britain’s judicial system and for those tens of thousands who still live in buildings containing fire-accelerant polymer foam.

More than 350 tower blocks with Grenfell-style cladding are yet to have it removed and progress is so slow it could take another FIVE YEARS to complete

• Official figures revealed 354 high-rise buildings that are yet to be renovated 
• Current rate of progress so slow it could take another five years to complete 
• Labour minister accused the government of 'reckless' approach to fire safety

Eight out of 10 tower blocks wrapped in dangerous Grenfell Tower-style cladding are yet to have it removed, according to the latest Government figures.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said 354 high-rise residential and public buildings with cladding systems unlikely to meet building regulations are yet to be renovated.

Seventy-nine high-rise buildings in England have had remediation works completed, according to the monthly data release. The rate of progress is so slow it could take another five years to complete.
