1. No cladding. Thank fu**!

2. That's not a Church 😮 wrong shape ‼️

3. Fs when will people learn to stop risking their lives to save a few quid just buy a decent new fridge.

   Stop getting 3rd hand ones from dodgy abduls around a pound or 2.. 🫵🏻😐

4. Another?? Is this the 3rd now? One in Biscayne Avenue, Blackwall, then Dagenham Tower Freshwater Road, and now Catford?

5. Was it the tower blocks opposite Lewisham Hospital?

6. mozzies open cooking they should not be living in a house but a mud hut

7. Definitely Putin.

8. Definitely the far-right.

9. Repeat of great fire of London

10. I imagine the end credits music to 'London's Burning' TV show as I watch this.

11. Government planned fires to blame on global warming later around,so they can change laws and legislation

12. Not again please

13. Someone wants a new flat

14. Lucky that it was only a flat and not a mosk.

    I suppose, as usual, people stayed put in a burn_ng building.

15. This is what happens when lives and safety !
    Is put before carelessness to make Money with Deadly decisions

16. Thank goodness nobody was badly hurt. We will discover the case in due course, I suppose.
    Electrical fault? Overloading the power supply (extension leads everywhere)? Somebody left the chip pan on? Who knows?
    I remember the Grenfell Tower event, as we all do. There are issues surrounding that which no longer get aired, to this day. Nobody remembers the visit of a Housing Minister two days after that fire and the purpose of it, the assurances given and so on.
    Like I said, I am happy nobody was hurt here – I really am – and not every house fire is suspicious, but we must always have the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This will probably be simple carelessness or misunderstanding of what a power supply can and cannot do.

17. Scenario. If you lived in a mud hut and was cooking inside you do not need be so careful, suddenly the flat fairy puts you in a modern free dwelling on a beneficial status so you are unsure of how to operate and use all appliances given to you by religious do gooders.

    If you cannot live on a low pension because after working 45 years the gov. thinks you are worthless and are not eligible for council property, you need move out of your birth country allow a foreign person to be given all the money and help that could have been yours.

18. Oh no, fires in London, too frequent of late. What is happening!!??

19. Yeah. It's a fire, they happen.
    The news is that the building hasn't been recently clad in a way that destroys its compartmentalisation. Ya know… the way buildings were constructed before, which ensured that the fire spread very slowly between apartments, like this dramatic blaze appears to be prevented from spreading here. Probably nobody seriously hurt.
    The actual opposite of Grenfel and a great lesson in how well these buildings were originally put together, on the day of that tragic report.

20. I bet the stay put policy was not implemented. That policy was wrong. People should get out of a burning building not stay
