Unless the Architect insisted upon a specified brand of cladding, they (Omnis) would have been asked to provide prices for the types of cladding within specification that they were proposing to use. Main Contractor would then consult Architect to ensure the chosen cladding conformed to the regs. Edited June 16, 2017 by sjc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I've seen a few people saying that there will be riots in London soon. There are hundreds of protesters outside a church that the Prime Minister is attending and obviously the scenes at Kensington Town Hall. I hope there aren't riots as it would detract from the investigation and the operations to make the building safe. Obviously I'm not there but it seems like the atmosphere is building and building. I can see the government collapsing because of this. I think there's a real crisis in the response to this, a crisis of what to do, of how to take responsibility, of competence. ETA - A lot of people are also making big assumptions about what happened. I've seen contractors quoted as saying that the idea that cladding was changed to flammable for £5k is unrealistic and not how these projects are done. Others saying that the contractors doing this work were slipshod and could cut corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 There are also conspiracy theories doing the rounds - that the government has refused to release the numbers of dead to prevent riots and that there is a d-notice in place to prevent the publication of these figures. This isn't true - https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamesball/no-there-isnt-a-d-notice-banning-the-media-from-reporting?utm_term=.daKRVLMKe#.sjYrYoREy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the company were offered a choice of materials and said "you know what, give us the stuff that burn easiest". There will be riots in London tonight. The council's response has been woeful but its gone beyond being about the fire itself. It's now a cause that every person with their own agenda can attach themselves to. The scenes from the protest outside the council offices were troubling. BBC guy on the scene rather reasonably asks one of the protesters what they want to achieve from their demonstration and she goes tonto at him. The guy who originally organised the demonstration tries to read out the council's statement and is heckled because half the crowd don't know who he is and assume he's from the council. One nutter insisting on telling the camera that Islam isnt the issue here, despite absolutely nobody suggesting that Islam was an issue here. Everybody with any kind of grievance against any kind of local or national government authority is going to attach themselves to the protest that's happening this afternoon/evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Apparently the Socialist Worker Party have showed up at the protests.After a nuclear holocaust the only things left will be cockroaches and some arsepiece selling the Socialist Worker.

welshbairn Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Probably been mentioned before, but who the f**k cares if May "engaged" with locals? What the front line services needed immediately was the question she should have been asking rather than a PR bonding with the natives stunt for the cameras. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical vindictive approach from the right-wing tabloids. Nothing to do with the Tories' 'campaign against safety legislation' or saving £2 per panel so that flammable panels were fitted instead of inflammable. Am thinking this could break May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
